NYTimes columnist made fun of his ears and when he see her at a New Hampshire event he told her to stop. She said, "we're trying to toughen you up."
Poor baby, he only expects gushing coverage all of the time.
It just shows that Democratic politicians are so spoiled that they expect glowing, adoring coverage from the liberal media all of the time.
Imagine if Bush or Katherine Harris or another Republican complained about their physical features being made fun of? It would be jokes on Leno, Letterman, The View, Daily Show, etc.
Obama is not ready for prime-time.

And if you check behind those Vulcan protuberances you will find it to be 'wet'.
I am the Fringe and I foresee a 'Whamma Obama where's my Mamma, they are pickin' on me and I can't find my Gramma.

No, I didn't hear it. Probably because it is untrue. It's sad that you are using Yahoo Answers as a place to push your political agenda instead of asking a legitimate question. You're trying to give a poor impression of a political figure you don't like because there's speculation he will run for President in 2008.
If that is your aim, why not make a logical, fact-based argument in an appropriate environment like a political forum instead of telling libelous anecdotes in a forum meant to answer questions.
Shame on you.

Unless you name the NY Times columnist and cite a source for this reference, this means absolutely nothing. If Obama did it, he may have done it as a joke, and in case you haven't heard he still is a U.S. Senator (that's pretty "prime time" to me) and has NOT announced that he will be running for president.

You got this wrong Repub. Barack's book on the NY Times bestseller list includes a passage where he jokes about his own ears.

Well, apparently the Democrats are much tougher than you think. After all, Bill Clinton didn't whine when everyone made jokes about him and Monica.

I would be upset, too. With all that's going on in the world and all of his accomplishments, she writes about his ears. I don't think he's sensitive about them, it's really just, grow up, lady. Obama's got his sh*t together, no worries.

All's fair in war and politics!
Obama is not ready to be confrontational with the dictators of foreign countries if he cannot take ear criticism!!
