Slog - Comments on Obama Rama! http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/07/obama_rama My Fourth of July? Delightful, thanks! I spent it with the Obamas. Yes, the Obamas. In, um, Butte, Montana. Yes, um, Butte. I know. Peculiar. There should be a little something about it in the paper tomorrow (or so I’ve heard it rumored). Barack came, he saw, he picnicked, he speechified, he ate a hotdog, and here is what he looked like doing it. Watching the parade: That’s Michelle siting next to him, of course, and their daughters Malia and Natasha (adorable!). You can also see his sister, Maya, her hot Chinese husband Konrad, and their very bored little girl,...

They're always too big for him, making him look like a marshmallow on a stick.

@7 - I don't get it either. If you know her well enought to know she softballed Bush in 2004, how would you not recognize her? Were you drunk to cope with being in Butte?

And something weird happened to that second picture. It's not just tilted, it's bent. You MUST have been drunk.

If Dan gave you column inches for this I will be so surprized. Are you related or something? Why hasn't he cut your cord yet.

I was born in MT and have tons of family there - including in Butte - and that is what Butte is know for in the state. Much of the state wondered "Obama in Butte?! Really?!"

It does have an interesting history - and a killer St Patrick's Day!

He's also straight so he can't (and probably doesn't want to) buy custom fitted shirts without somewhat validating the elitist smear. (See also: $400 haircut, John Edwards)
