Christmas in Hawaii, the $9 million beach house, the palm trees, the surf, the sun, the beaches, the hula girls, the aloha shirt? Well leave the aloha shirt in the suitcase, there is Change in the world, lets say a New World Order, which World Leader is the real voice for Joe SIXPACK?
One Gay Activist Leader called it a "double punch to the gut" — the choice of a pastor they consider hostile for a prime inauguration role and dashed hopes for the first openly gay Cabinet member.
Enthusiasm among gays over Barack Obama's election has deflated rapidly in the days since his inaugural organizers announced that the invocation would be delivered by the Rev. Rick Warren, a prominent pastor who backed a recent ballot measure banning same-sex marriage in his home state of California.
The Warren announcement coincided with the final round of Obama's Cabinet selections — confirming that gays on the short list for interior secretary and labor secretary would not get those posts.
"It felt like a double punch to the gut," said Denis Dison of the Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund, which supports openly gay political candidates. "Now, he is trying to appease us with the bare chested photo, Barack has no compassion or sensitivity for us gays."
The Invisible Hand wanted to check this out for our readers, so I went were the gays are . . . Nordstrom. Since it was sleeting and icy in Kansas City, I was only able to track down one gay shopper in the shoe department at Nordstrom.
I asked the gay shopper about the released Obama SIxpack photo and what it meant? "Obama has a nice gut and the butt, oh I will not go there, I am so upset , I just maxed my Visa at Nordstrom's. I just do not feel like talking about it, it makes no sense whatsoever, why does he torment us?" "Please, do not use my name, my mom does not realize I am gay."
The Invisible Hand never reveals sources and your gayness is and will remain a secret, and I want to thank you for being my first gay source for my blog. As you can see Obama's plan of baring it all has back-fired with the gays, maybe Obama-girl has a different take, however two days before Christmas and Obama's bare chest is doing nothing for the gays.

People need role models and seeing the people of power who are taking good physical care of themselves will make people respect them more. Would you listen to an unhealthy official telling eh country they needed to improve their health?
