Barack Obama appeared to have a bit of an awkward moment when his pants started vibrating during a campaign stop. The Senator was quick to point out he wasn't being "fresh."

Last week the pool report picked up on Obama acting "very flirtatious" on the trail.

CNN has part of the pool report:

"[Obama] posed for report pictures with the staff when he apparently felt his phone start to vibrate in his pocket on his right thigh - against which one woman was closely pressed.

"Now that's my phone buzzing there," he said, drawing a laugh. "I don't want you to think I'm getting fresh or anything."

That must be his pick up line. Michelle Obama must be proud.

Readers and subscribers of the The Huffington Post are beginning to see a downturn in the quality of it's journalism. Highlighting candid moments people have with candidates as if they all should be blown up into pop culture soundbites isn't worth your time or ours to dissect like a Britney Spears moment. Re the ringing phone and his vibrating pants, - who really cares?

Thanks, MSM, please spread the oversexed black man stereotype through inane references to PG-rated asides in the elevator and compliments to grandmothers on the factory floor.

Now excuse me while I vomit.

YES, EXACTLY.

I was called a "prude" a page ago for suggesting he not give the racist asshats a leg up, er, so to speak.

Sorry, but it is newsworthy because it highlights his pattern of sexual comments towards women. He seems to always have sex on the brain... which is fine with me. I dont care.

But all you Bill bashers then have to realize that Obama is no better. He just hasnt gotten caught yet. Unless you count that sex party he had in the back of a limo.

On his "pattern of sexual remarks," could you be more specific? I seem to remember one other comment he made to an elderly woman along the lines of "I'd better stop or your husband will think I'm flirting with you." Am I missing something?

How can you, honestly, compare Obama to Bill Clinton, who is a well-documented serial philanderer? Before you throw things like that out there you should have more to back you up than the straws at which you are grasping that are grounded in playful and innocent comments.

And the limo allegations are tired and complete lies--you should give those up.

You'll have to excuse me if, in the words of Bill Clinton, that "tickles me a bit".

In one instance we have an ex-president who got a hummer in the oval office, denied it, then admitted it. And, of course, he weaseled his way out of other accusations - that were probably true.

Then we have Obama with a ringing phone. Care to provide any examples of "sexual comments towards women". Quid pro quo - I can show you a blue dress.

I'ts hilarious that Hillary's campaign rails against sexism, only to have the most famous sexist ranting about it in the wings as well.

Just one more sad chapter....

It was cute and funny, just like it would've been had John McCaine said it, right? This is not going to hurt Obama's campaign, but come the Fall, if he's the candidate, you're going to hear some good stuff about him, put together by professionals....

The pool reporter Mark Halperin mentioned has about as much credibility as ; Bill Clinton: Hillary Clinton or Lannie Davis. This would be perfect at fox noise. CNN the Clinton News Network. This looks like the SNL

He better be CAREFUL. Saying "it's my phone, I'm not just happy to see you " may be funny in the back of the campaign bus but sexual harassment is not funny and few these days laugh.

'Sexual harassment refers to persistent and unwanted sexual advances, typically in the workplace, where the consequences of refusing are potentially very disadvantageous to the victim.'

Besides, I'm sorry, but I missed the part where he said 'it's my phone, I'm not just happy to see you.' Could you please point to where that quote came from? Oh! You said it? HE DIDN'T SAY IT? So... you're just making things up. Ah, I see. Carry on.

OMG! Everyone just STOP! So HuffPo reported it - big deal! It's just meant as an amusing anecdote - a sweet story that shows Obama's sense of humor, wit and way with people. I don't think there is a conspiracy here.

It was a lovely, humanizing moment. End of story!

"sweet story"????? I've worked with jerks like this. They are not sweet. They are self-obsessed and continually say stupid things about their sexual prowess to women who work with them in the most unprofessional and inappropriate way. He's a jerk.

What is all this nonsense noise about? Why is it that so many people are worked up and trying to make this more than what it really is? Get a sense of humor, will you? Better, get a real life!

LOL Jonas

It bothers me that people constantly refer to Obama as a "black" man when he is NOT A BLACK MAN he is HALF WHITE and HALF BLACK. Let's get it right for once.
Regardless of his color, his remark shows how he thinks, this isn't the first time he has made a remark like this, by my count this is the third one to make the papers ( so to speak) obviously he thinks he's something special. He is quite the passive aggressive, I can't stand people like that.

Correct Jonas, Obama is is a mixed vulgar man who supported a Pastor who preached hate sermons about America-and to think the media is holding something Hillary husband did against her-HOW UNFAIR.

You know, I was so happy to have found the HuffPost a while back -- somewhere I could get news and details about the election not first vetted by the folks at Fox News and all of those who are afraid of them.

But the post is now becoming bogged now in dire trivia like this. What a complete waste of space.

Why the hell must you people always bring the Clintons when talking about Obama?
Can't he exist on his own?
Does his life always have to revolve around Hillary or Bill?

This is a scandal?

If so, Hillary should be raked back and forth over the coals for that awful and tedious April Fools announcement she made to the press. Yikes, she almost had a good joke, but then proceeded on for another 5 minutes until the dead horse she was beating turned into ground chuck.
