It isn't a democrat or republican issue- it's an issue for everyone.

Actually, you can see that he's a Trek guy, as is Lance Armstrong. That's a good American brand, just like Harley. I'd leave that comment on the linked blog, "To the Point", but they seem to require payment to register. And some of the commenters on that blog are right, he does need to pump up his tires -- it's all about rolling resistance! And which is the more family-oriented photo? I'm willing to bet that's a trail-a-bike or other kid carrier on the back of Barack's cycle. The linked article has the captions "Harley Girl" and "Schwinn Guy."

I totally know you didn't mean it that way Ubray, but I'm just sort of bringing it out there for others, because this is a repressive way to be progressive.

Is this all the party that ruined America has to offer? Caribou Barbie? I'll take the dude on the bike any day. Then again, I'm a bike hippie and this seems like a good ol' chuckle inducer for some old fashioned red-staters. You know, bible readin', pork chop eatin', just plain folks.

I find it HIGHLY unlikely that she was actually going to ride that bike, in that skirt. I'm just saying.
