President Barack Obama says Arizona State University officials aren’t the only ones who think he needs to accomplish more to earn an honorary degree.
Add his wife Michelle to that list.
“I come here not to dispute the suggestion that I haven’t yet achieved enough in my life,” Obama said in a commencement speech Wednesday. With a smile he added: “First of all, (first lady) Michelle (Obama) concurs with that assessment. She has a long list of things that I have not yet done waiting for me when I get home.”
Barack Obama has successfully been inaugurated as the 44th President of the United States, and now it’s time to get down to the business of solving some serious problems. But before we get to that monumental task, let’s take a minute to celebrate the ushering in of a new era the only way we know how – with super hot chicks! We’re not sure what it is about a beautiful woman in red, white and blue that makes us feel so good. But regardless of the reason – God Bless the US T&A!
It is on. And it’s online. So you want to witness the exciting hoopla surrounding today’s historic Presidential Inauguration of Barack Obama, but you’re stuck going to class or penned to your desk at work. Fear not boys and girls, the Internet has got your back. From Facebook and Twitter to live streaming on your iPhone, this is definitely not your grandfather’s inauguration. The following is a list of places to catch the Inaugural Ceremonies and festivities online:
If you needed any more proof that Barack Obama is cooler than you, the evidence has just arrived. From 1979 – 1981 President elect Barack Obama was a student at Occidental College, a small liberal arts school in Los Angeles.
While not very much is know about the two years he spend at Occidental, a series of photos shot in 1980 by an aspiring photographer named Lisa Jack have been released on Time.com in honor of Obama being named Time’s “Person of the Year.”
The series of 12 black-and-white photos (below) show the 19 year-old freshman posing in various positions, being “charismatic” as Jack describes. And no matter your political affiliation, you have to admit that Obama looks cooler than anyone you know.
We all know President-elect Barack Obama has smoked marijuana, but it seems some people don’t think linking him further to the drug is a good idea. And it’s not who you might suspect. Rolling paper company Bambu, which has been included in films such as “Totally Baked: A Pot-u-mentary” and the “Cheech and Chong” series and is widely used for weed-smoking, is suing t-shirt makers Love Fatigues for their Obama t-shirt design that resembles their rolling paper logo.
Not only did Love Fatigues create the design, they advertised the t-shirt in High Times magazine. This caused the Bambu company to write in a complaint filed in Manhattan that the design could “subject Bambu to criticism and scorn,” by creating a relationship between the incoming president and smoking an illegal drug.

This is a real radio advertisement for jackass Illinois governor, Rod Blagojevich. Now maybe it’s just his recent arrest for trying to sell the open Illinois Senate seat that makes this seems so unbelievably idiotic, but something tells us this was simply one of many signs that this dude would turn out to be a complete disaster. Never trust a man who uses bad jingles and children who can’t read in their ad, that’s what I always say…[via thedailyswarm.com]
Happy Presidents Day: A visual index of the POTUS’ Smoking Habits.
We here at COED are big fans of tobacco. Yeah, we know it’s bad for you – really, really bad for you. But it’s good for the soul, damnit. Which is why we were so happy to hear that Barack Obama has been smoking like a chimney over the past couple of months, despite trying to kick the habit at the beginning of his Presidential bid.
Despite claims that the White House will be “smoke free,” we’re hoping he’ll back down on that promise and add himself to the long lineage of tobacco-using US Presidents. Remember, at this nation’s inception, tobacco was one of the biggest cash crops (after hemp, which is a whole other post altogether). And from John Adams to Franklin D. Roosevelt to Bill Clinton, tobacco has had a home in the White House. Here is every President known to use tobacco.
With trailers popping up for his new movie The Day the Earth Stood Still pending release on December 12, we are reminded that in the movies Keanu Reeves is the answer. And at the same time, all over the news and in the media, Barack Obama is being touted as the new Keanu Reeves, capable of solving all our problems with some fantastical superpower. But please heed this warning: Barack Obama is not Keanu Reeves. This world is not the Matrix, or The Day… and Barack is not Neo or Klatuu. (more…)
