Oh...so it was For The Children™

At a second fundraiser last night, Obama acknowledged a moment's hesitation before venturing out Sunday on his bike in not his most flattering photo-op.

“I had an internal debate,” he said. “Because I knew that the A.P. was going to take a picture, and they were trying to portray it like Dukakis wearing that tank helmet. But I wanted to make sure that the children who saw that picture knew that even the Democratic nominee for president wears a helmet when he goes biking. Now, obviously the rest of my apparel was apparently not up to snuff, because I got a hard time from all sorts of blogs who said I looked like Urkel.”

Well, I guess it's at least a little refreshing that he didn't call his bike helmet a "distraction" or claim that those weren't the clothes he thought he knew before he wore them.  Also, the bike didn't end up under a bus, so there's that, too.

Update: Is Barack Obama a Moron?
