Why no beard Obama?
Beards are big news and a lot of people are asking me about them. I wonder, with so much talk about Obama and the DNC this week, maybe a good test of a candidate’s presidential-ness should be whether or not he can grow a beard.
I searched the web and it turns out I am not the only one thinking about presidential beards. Check out this photo-shopped rendering of a bearded McCain:
I don’t know if it is an accurate representation of what McCain would actually look like with a beard, but you have to admit – he does look good. If McCain with a beard even vaguely resembles this picture, then he needs to grow one – and fast – I think it would do wonders for him in the polls.
Here is a legitimate photo of a bearded Al Gore:
No one really cares about Gore any more, but I bet if he had his beard in 2000 he would be president today.
I couldn’t find much about Obama and beards, and it makes me wonder – can Obama even grow one? I have never seen a photo of a bearded Obama.
Have you?
If word got out that Obama couldn’t grow a beard, it would ruin his candidacy – maybe this is why he is always so careful to be perfectly clean-shaven every time he appears in public.
What are you trying to hide Obama?
I mentioned in an earlier post that Obama does look great in a kipa, and I stand by that – he has style. But if he can’t grow a beard then what good does all that style do him? Not much.
Here is a picture of Obama with a cigarette:
Very cool. Perhaps smoking is a way to offset his beard problem.
I don’t smoke, but I have a beard. Maybe if I started smoking I could run for president.
I couldn’t find a cigarette, so here is a photo of me (with beard) and a pen:
Do I look presidential?

I don’t think McCain’s pick for VP can grow a beard, but unlike Obama, I don’t think it is a problem.

Tzvi! How come you always look like an utter maniac? McCain does not look too good with a beard….Al Gore looks GREAT and Obama is…..it just looks bad. You?……….I don’t know what to say really!

Actually Tzvi you look like you are mentally challenged! The type of guy one would cross the road in order to ignore…..and the type of guy that would probably follow!

Hi Tzvi,
started reading your blog recently, google reader helps me stay updated…hahaha this is a pretty original post, you even found a pic of McCain with a photoshoped bears. Well, you look really funny…the pen looks like a cigarette. Obama did look good with a kippah..what did you think about the fiasco with the newspaper getting their hands on his note that he put into the Kotel? well, it’s possible that he cannot grow a beard because well, maybe it’s tougher for an African american men than for white fellas…Aparently Obama admitted that his biggest sin was doing drugs and smoking and on a sad note, McCain said his sin was that he could not keep his 1st marriage and had to break up the family

Great new tag line… “Not ready to lead; Not ready to grow a beard! Barack Obama: Simply Not Ready! “ Tzvi, you are a genius… an inspiration to all of us beard thinkers. You are the voice to all those that spend so many days thinking about… beards.

I know this an old topic now, and one you are probably trying to suppress. But I thought it would be worth updating you. I recently came across this bearded Obama picture and immediately thought of you! URL to photo: http://www.box.net/shared/ngsrd8r5m4
Which got me wondering if there are more… and sure enough, behold the power of google I found an additional two renderings of what Obama might look like with a beard. URL to photo 2: http://www.box.net/shared/3cmiukxem9 and URL to photo 3: http://www.box.net/shared/rbsppbytt0
I guess you are also an inspiration to all of the photoshop beard creating artists!
Enjoy!

[…] 1 . Stick upon Mommy upon the Roadtrip - Hiding at the back of Mommy’s skirts is regularly the great thought when you’re in difficulty as well as vexed, even if you’re 73 years aged . The Senator’s mom, Roberta McCain, is an zealous universe caucasian tribe, inspite of being scarcely the 100 years aged . You could stick upon her upon the roadtrip opposite Europe, where they competence not recognize you . Growing the brave, similar to Al Gore did, would be really beneficial .
