Barack Obama: I'll Make You Famous

Barack ObamaApparently even if you touch Barack Obama you can become a star in your own right.

Zariff, Barack Obama's barber for the last 14 years, has had his barber shop become a tourist attraction since Obama has become President-elect.

The Chicago Sun-Times reports people come from everywhere come to take pictures of the chair Barack Obama gets his hair cut in -- and his haircut has inspired people to ask for the "Obama Cut" throughout the day.

Next up: Barack's shoe shiner.

16. Me too I voted for Obama let the man do what he gotta do. Damn he's human too let him get some rest. Bush made sure he left a big job for him to do. Give the man a break damn.

17. Every man I know has his hair cut....does this make Obama special? I am also hearing about every step this American hating terrorist loving racist soon-to-be President does.

18. Hey #11...I can't wait to read the story TMZ does when your ignorant rantings have the FBI and Secret Service busting down your door. Think before you speak.

19. Angie? I KNOW that you voted for him. It's obvious that you are part of the 95% that voted for him and could not care less what his views are!
You prove day in and day out that you can't write a simple sentence and have a total of about 5 days in an English class.
You're the prototypical FRAUDbama supporter. Good luck wit dat!

21. Please, TMZ, some respect. He is President elect Barack Obama. Soon he will be President Obama. Stop referring to him like some everyday citizen. RESPECT PEOPLE. He earned his place in this world. Learn yours.

23. 14. Oh GAGAL, every other man with a black father, has Obama's color/hair, and has children who look like his is considered BLACK no matter what race his mother is. It's the law, remember? Now that he's President, should he suddenly and inexplicably be less black?

Karen,
As the child of a black woman and a black man, I see Obama as interracial. He has a combination of both. We can't forget that his maternal parent was a caucausian and we can't expect him to forget either. I'm sure he doesn't want to hear negative comments about either race.

I do agree with you about hearing about everything he does. I'm also tired of it.

24. Nobama's thugs started that Montecito, CA fire to show those uppity stars who's really in charge!

25. I'm betting that Mr Obama is going to be impeached! He is all flash, and no substance. This country is going to suffer horribly for that. Mr. Obama got elected because of race, not on the issues.(I personally don't care about his race, only his ability to help us). John Mccain was on Jay Leno the other night, and told a story of his time in the vietnam prison camp. It was very moving. I got very angry afterwards at Mr Mccain for not sharing this and other stories of his life with us. I feel if he had told america about his time in the prison camp, he would have been elected. John MCcain you screwed up, and may have screwed us as well. Superman.

26. Obama can not mess this country up anymore than BUSH has! In fact, you KNOW Bush was a messed up President when this racist country decides to go with a BLACK GUY!

The economy is the worst it's been since the Depression, people are losing jobs and homes by the thousands, thousands of lives have been lost in a senseless war. Talk about drinking the kool-aid, can someone tell me how fighting in Iraq protects my "freedoms" or life in the US? That's the line ol' Jim George Bush Jones fed and asked you to reguritate. I mean really, what are the chances of Iraqis landing on American soil to fight? I'm no more safer on American land than I was before Bush lied about Weapons of Mass Destruction!

27. Seriously?? Are these the same people who bid on half eaten french toast that Justin Timberlake supposedly ate? Let's get real! What's next, we make a shrine to his favorite shoe store? Let's see what he can do as a president before we put him on this pedestal! I agree with #5

28. I WISH THAT OBAMA FOLLOWERS WOULD STOP SAYING THAT PEOPLE HATE OBAMA BECAUSE WE ARE RACIST, IF THIS WAS THE CASE HE WOULD HAVE LOST THE ELECTION. LET ME ASK YOU THIS: ARE YOU PEOPLE RACIST BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T VOTED FOR MCCAIN BECAUSE HE IS WHITE?
OBAMA IS RACIST BECAUSE HE HATES THE FACT THAT HE HAS WHITE BLOOD RUNNING THROUGH HIS VEINS.

I DON'T LIKE THE FACT THAT HE WANTS TO CHANGE THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA SOMETHING THAT WAS WRITTEN AND IS NOT TO BE CHANGED BY ANYBODY! I MEAN ANYBODY EVER! MY OPINION ABOUT THIS ELECTION IS THAT HE BOUGHT HIS WAY TO THE WHITE HOUSE PERIOD. BEWARE ALL YOU OBAMAITES YOUR FREEDOM IS ABOUT TO BE TAKEN AWAY IN WAYS YOU CAN'T EVEN BEGIN TO IMAGINE! I HOPE THAT HE DOES WHAT HE PROMISED AND HE BECOMES A GOOD PRESIDENT BUT IF HE DESTROYS AMERICA AT LEAST I WILL BE ABLE TO SLEEP AT NIGHT.

29. #15....your hate is consuming you. And I'm so f*cking glad. Eat a d*ck.

#24,,,you are by far one of the dumbest f*cks around. You figure Mcfries would have been elected if only he had shared a little more of his prison experience? Stupid idiot. And btw 65m americans voted for obama so how did you figure he won coz of his race? Another genius. Eat a d*ck too, idiot.
