Obama Shirtless Photos Hit Blogosphere

Barack Obama has been photographed topless in Hawaii — again — and blogs are eating it up.

TMZ.com, the celebrity site known for its rogue methods of reporting, has posted a photo of of the president-elect in shorts and without a shirt that was taken during his vacation. TMZ’s headline was “Barack Hard Abs.”

Bauer-Griffin, an agency that bills itself as “The Hollywood Hunt Club,” shot the photo, according to TMZ.

People magazine famously ran photos of a shirtless Obama on the beach in early 2007, just before he announced his presidential bid.

Other blogs have already weighed in on the latest Obama cheesecake photo.

“On January 20, America Will Have a President With a Six-Pack,” was the headline on New York magazine’s blog, Daily Intel.

Wonkette noted that it predicted the pic would surface last week, before Obama even left for vacation.
