PHOTO OF THE DAY: Reggie Love: Real-Life Charlie Young

You've surely seen him. He shadowed Barack Obama on the campaign trail. When you see President Obama, this guy is typically nearby. The Democrat even won Huffington Post’s recent “hottest White House employee” contest.

Who is this tall glass of hot chocolate? The Charlotte, N.C. native is Barry's "body man", or personal aide. You remember brotha Charlie Young on "The West Wing"? Mr. Love is him in real life. The 6'5", 27-year-old politico's job is to anticipate President Obama's needs and wants. If Barry craves a protein bar, brothaman has it. He relieves Barry of items. When President Obama needs to call someone, Reg has his briefing book and the phone number handy. If Barry wants to play pickup basketball (as they superstitiously did the day of every primary), Mr. Love is there. He helps keep President Obama on schedule (good luck, given Barry's CPT notoriousness).

Some tidbits about Mr. Love: Mr. Love was a football and walk-on basketball player at Duke University. He tried out with the Green Bay Packers and the Dallas Cowboys, but was cut from the final roster. In 2006, he was hired as a staff assistant in then-Sen. Obama's mailroom. A year later, he was promoted as body man. It was Mr. Love who introduced Barry and his wife to the fist bump, which they famously displayed when Barry became the presumptive Democratic nominee. Chris Duhon, a former Duke teammate who plays for the New York Knicks, is his best friend. Last summer, People listed Mr. Love as one of America's sexiest bachelors. In late January, two days after President Obama's inauguration, Mr. Love was chosen as ABC's "Person Of The Week". His Secret Service code name is "Rebound".

Reggie, all these tidbits are why we won't hold those embarrassing college photos that white frat boys took teabagging you against you (careful, the last link is NSFW). How do you pass out drunk at a University of North Carolina frat party when you're an athlete at a rival school? Not to mention that drunk-driving charge (he didn't get a sentence as his blood alcohol level was slightly below the limit). No wonder you got kicked off the Duke basketball team (he was reinstated a year later). Barry is clearly an understanding bloke.

Mr. Love has a B.A. in political science and public policy from Duke University, and eventually plans to return to Duke attend law school.
