That’s a picture from Hawaii, where Reggie Love, Obama’s “body man,” accompanied the president on vacation.
As it happens, Love once more accompanied Obama on vacation, this time to his media-blacked-out trip to Florida over the weekend at which golf with Tiger Woods was on the agenda. Obama’s wife Michelle didn’t go on that trip; she took a vacation someplace else on the taxpayers’ dime. But Reggie Love was on Obama’s plane there and back from DC.
Reggie Love is the subject of lots of rumors. Nobody really understands what a “body man” is, or why Obama has one. Nobody seems to remember any other president having a “body man,” and nobody seems to remember anybody else unrelated to a president who could talk about the circumstances surrounding when he might floss his teeth.
Are we suggesting that Obama and Reggie Love are engaged in a homosexual relationship?
No. We are not.
What we are, however, suggesting, is that if Obama was a Republican president you can bet your bottom dollar that the media would be far, far more curious about the relationship between these two men and whatever potential impropriety, sexual or otherwise, might be afoot between a president who needs a “body man” and that “body man.”
The Hayride knows that. It's more just pointing out the hypocrisy that's all. If this was an R POTUS you know damn sure it would be front page fodder for days.
I believe it was the press that labeled Love as "the body man". Technically his position in the White House was that of presidential valet. When Obama ran for office in 2008 I remember reading an article where Love was described as a walking toiletry and gum dispenser. I believe the press has tried to frame his presence in such a way that signals to some that he was more than a valet, while trying to maintain deniability.
There is much more to this relationship than meets the eye.

No, they have no interest in that. (Other than whining about how they were held back from gawking and pants-wetting over the "festivities" of the weekend.)

Yep.
Like Huma and Hillary, Obama and Love are on the down-low.
People talk about "gaydar". But with Obama, he sets off alarm bells. There is something about the way he carries himself that does not exude masculinity.
Part of that problem is his wife. If she was quiet, demure and petite she would be a better beard for him.
