In the new issue of Us Weekly, presidential candidate Barack Obama invited news director Lara Cohen to join his campaign for a day. He described some of his best Just Like Us moments, and took our Presidential Pop Quiz (where he revealed that his daughters think Britney and Paris are "yuck").
Some excerpts from the Us interview:
How familiar are you with Us Weekly?
My wife reads it.
Do your daughters Sasha and Malia ever ask about Britney Spears?
Actually, yeah. But they're very sensible. They're pretty down on Britney and Paris and all of that. They think that's very "yuck." They're way more into Hannah Montana and Beyonce. They got to go backstage and meet Beyonce and they just love her to death.
Your supporters include Oprah Winfrey. Ever been starstruck?
I don't really get starstruck. Everyone I've met has been very nice and friendly, like Kal Penn. During the writers' strike, he was like a staffer! And Scarlett Johansson has been traveling a lot. George Clooney is a good friend. He and I worked on Darfur issues together. I'm always impressed by people who do their homework... and use their celebrity to advocate for issues. George does that just about as well as anyone I know.
So, boxers or briefs? Bill Clinton said he wore boxers in a 1992 interview with MTV.
I don't answer those humiliating questions. But whichever one it is, I look good in 'em!

Here's what I don't get. Obama calls Paris yuck but yet Paris' mom gets mad at McCain for putting her in an ad that doesn't really say anything negative about her. Actually compliments her by calling her a huge celebrity. Anyways, where is the logic in all of this?

This is pretty funny, Barack has a good sense of humor...kinda like Kennedy. I think Barack will sweep the election because he's seems like a friendly guy, not some wealth-loving Grand Old Party member like McCain.
*Go Obama!!*

OBAMA for President!!!!!!!!!!! McCain straight out looks like a BIG FAT RACIST, and that is the last person I would like to have as president. He is also George Bush's lost soul mate.

It's stupid questions like this that are making a perversion and laughingstock of our electoral process. The magazine should change its name to "Usshole".

OMG.I am a Democrat and reading all the above makes me gag.At this point in our life isnt it obvious that the gas prices are increasing cause bush (I wont capitalize it either) cause he will be out of office soon and being the oil man that he is, he's making his final million and trillions right before he retires.This country was doomed when he was chosen president. All I know is that I hope to God that Hillary wins, and for those of you Republicans that will blame the Democrats for not balancing the budget should be slapped. The Democrats - once more, will be cleaning the crap and the millions of dollars that this ridiculous war has caused the USA. ne last thing. If Clinton had sex in the White House, how can that be as bad as being hated by every country in the world cause of bush. Think about it. Hillary all the way!!!!

Obama is black! Who likes blacks? Who cares about this canidate? He has a hidden anger that we haven't seen yet. Why? Because he wants to have the oval office job. Once he gets it, his true colors will shine. And not just black. Hes holding back his anger for the day he gets in office. Its sounds so much like Hitler. Hitler was the perfect canidate. He didn't smoke, he didn't cuse, he was perfect. So people thought. This is Obama's plan. He is a spitting image of Referend Wright. Who knows what this man is capable of. Everyone is so wrapped up in his repeated words. Anyone can stand uo and talk about change and what should be done. Who couldn't do that. Shoot so I wander if everyone would like me if I got on stage and talked about all of America's flaws and what needs to be changed? This man if full of hope, he will be supprised when he realizes hes not the only one in government calling the shots, and when he goes to call a shot it will be vetoed! Goodluck. Blacky!

2:05, I agree with what you had to say about our generation not being held accountable for the actions of our ancestors. There is another side of the coin that I don't think 6:18 spent too much time articulating. American life is still difficult for "minorities", *especially* in certain areas of the country. I'm part Mexican and part Caucasian. I noticed that when I first met people after I took my married "White" surname, some attitudes toward me were a little different...a little more accepting. Society is still biased. It goes both ways, though. Just because you may not be a bigoted person does not mean that many non-White people don't experience prejudice in their lives. I agree, you and I should not be hated based on what our ancestors did. We never had a choice to stand for or against slavery. Nobody can judge us based on things that never took place on our parts. At the same time we need to understand that people are treated poorly every day in this country based upon the color of their skin. Until it changes, there will be a divide...and all the ugliness that comes with it.

I was going to vote for Hillary Clinton until I saw this very important thing on YOUTUBE. Apparently Hillary is facing a Campaign Finance Fraud case in court in california. Appanretly she had a man named Peter Paul do a fund rasing event for her Senator election campaign, and lied about knowing him, or receiving $1.2 millions in campaign financing from him. She also filed documents with the FCC, and did not report the 1.2 miilon dollars she had received, WHICH IS A FELONY. When it was decovered what she has done, and that she had committed fraud, she lied about it, and said that she has never met peter Paul, even though there is VIDEO evidence, and PHONE CALL evidence, and letters as evidence which Peter Paul has of their meeting and numerous communication between them, and him. The YOUTUBE VIDEO IS CALLED - "WHAT HILLARY CLINTON DOES NOT WANT YOU TO KNOW".
Hillary Clinton currenlty has this fraud case in the Courts in California, yet the press is keeping silent about it, see the proof for yourself. Everyone must know this before they vote, Hillary with yet another fraud case pending will NOT become president! DON'T WASTE YOUR VOTE. WATCH THE YOUTUBE VIDEO, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION!!

Your magazine was listed at the bottom of an article about Obama's choice of boxers or briefs and the "Top News' headline reads: Obama's Girls Not Fans of Britney and Paris. Now, my question is- Who Cares? Do people actually care about such nonsense? I know I do not. I think the level of common sense and a normal baseline of intelligence is off the grid. I feel that people don't think for themselves concerning important issues such as the presidency-they just jump on the band wagon because the 'Stars' say this is the one. I think americans who voted for the last mistake twice should take heed.

6:18 - You are the perfect reason to show why kids need to stay in school and get their education. Your "excuse" about holding hate is irrelevant in this day and age. You cannot blame any one in this generation for incidents that happened over 100 years ago. Slavery was a tragedy and I feel for the millions who had to endure it for so long. But don't come to me on your little soapbox and claim that the reason why you have screwed up your life is due to the actions of my ancestors. Take responsibility for your actions and realize that YOU have plenty of freedoms in this day and age. I am a white woman and have never been racist in my life. I know that there is still quite a bit of it in our world, but we need to fight against it....not excuse it based on slavery from so long ago. be proud of your ancestors, but don't use them as an excuse for what you haven't done in your life. Getting a better education should be a top priority on your list after trying to read that post.

This message is for Ken06...
It seems clear from your message that you understand U.S. Weekly did not publish this interviw to hear personal opinions about slavery or any other hardships individual race groups experienced in the past. Like you said, it is about a presidential candidate...although your message seems to let the world know where you stand on various issues...
I would just like to remind you that while you are chastising others keep in mind that when you argue with a fool, the spectators don't know the difference...
Obama for President!!

My personal opinion on this presidential candidate is not of much other than from the arrogance I have heard come out of his mouth on certain views. I dont think that he would be the ideal presidential candidate for me. But thats just MY opinion, of which I am entitled to. To be honest with you I dont know if any of these presidential hopefuls are what we need running our country.

Great answer Obama! Michelle is the only one that needs to know what you're wearing! That was Bill Clinton's problem. I'm sure Hillary and Monica weren't the only ones that knew what type of underwear you wore! shame, shame, shame!

I pray that each and everyone of you who reads this finds the feelings in them that they had when they watched over and over and over and over and over again those planes crashing into the twin towers and your heart just makes you start to cry as you realize that regardless of who is President of the United States, we as individuals have only ourselves to hold accountable for the acts that we do, and only we will stand alone and be judged for them.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL
