I apologize in advance for the grief and drama these happy pictures and positive, hopeful words that accompany them will cause for some certain DUers.

To the rest of you, enjoy!

1. Thanks for posting these pics

[Whovian]

2. K&R

[HappyMe]

3. '..the grief and drama..'

Yeah, you got that right.
Thanks for posting. It is time to be positive.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

4. The first one is my favorite!

[Hekate]

5. These are grand

Thanks!

[secondwind]

6. Love them....... thank you so much! :-)

[logosoco]

7. Love them...

but I do have one complaint...in many of the shots of the actual oath, Mrs. Boehner has such a sour puss look and she is staring daggers at Obama. Would have been nice with someone more pleasant in the background.

Other than that, I just can't get enough of these photos.

[truebluegreen]

10. You know how married couples supposedly start to look alike?

That must explain her orange hue. Nothing explains the lipstick.

[vduhr]

17. That's so funny....

I was watching the festivities yesterday and I said the same thing to my son! Both of them must use the same spray-on tanning booth setting.

[agracie]

41. The lipstick is a symptom of the ever dreaded kewpie doll syndrome. n/t

[ReRe]

54. Since the discussion of the color orange...

Was it just my TV, or were those flowers at the luncheon ORANGE? If so, what was up with those?

[siligut]

21. I am guessing Debbie Boehner's shoulder is pretty much a wailing wall

And she blames the president rather than the greedy pigs who expect unreasonable things from her husband.

[MADem]

36. I kinda like seeing the Boneheads in the background. After all, he VOWED--and I mean VOWED--to

do everything he could to make Obama a one-term President. Putting him so prominently in the picture is sort of like damning him with faint praise; forcing him to be a part of history he wanted to avoid.

That sour look likely comes from their hearty breakfast of crow repeating in their upset little tummies...[]

[BlancheSplanchnik]

45. lol!!!!! n/t

[obama2terms]

44. Haha

Same with Mitch McConnell he looks like this lol

[sheshe2]

8. Thanks, Julie...

Sweet day, yesterday. And heaven to wake up to this morning!

[Berlum]

9. Who are those Orange Entities (R) lurking in the background?

What's up with the Orange Faces (R)? Sour Puss City.

[MADem]

37. I hear them singing...

Ooompa Loompah dumpity do....
I tried and failed to get rid of you!!!!

Oompa Loompah dumpity dee....
I really made an ass outta me!!!!

[Justpat]

11. Thanks for this.

Love it.

[Beaverhausen]

12. LOL!!! Look at poor Mitch McConnell in the second photo

He has a big sad!

[Rob H.]

34. Poor, sad turtle

[JHB]

13. Aaaand, others trying to avoid the subject of the day...

...e.g. the Murdoch-owned New York Post:

[vduhr]

18. Strange....

I watched all day and I never saw any "fawning" going on. I'm so surprised Fox News would made up a story like that.

[annabanana]

14. Here is a GREAT link for today's front pages

(or ANY day's front pages)

http://www.newseum.org/todaysfrontpages/flash/

[Justpat]

22. Murdoch's NY Post had a pic of Jay-Z and Beyonce on the front page.

The headline: The First Couple, well almost.

I really hate that man.

[JNelson6563]

32. This is a great source!

Thanks for posting that link!

[littlemissmartypants]

55. Very cool...

thank you!

[Lifelong Protester]

15. Thanks, I loved them

and think Michelle Obama is really stylish. I loved all her outfits, and I loved the touch of purple gloves.
Sorry if that sounds superficial.

[vduhr]

19. Michelle is beautiful inside and out.

Her smile is so genuine, I think she could wear anything and still look beautiful.

[They_Live]

16. Is Eric Cantor texting?

Snapping a pic?

Also, who's the guy wearing the giant cowboy hat? Kinda disrespectful...

[monmouth3]

23. Sen. Orrin Hatch I think, wanting to be noticed as usual...

[Drunken Irishman]

51. That ain't Orrin.

[CranialRectaLoopback]

20. They are fantastic photos and headlines

Oh please, please, fulfill our expectations, First Couple!

[malaise]

24. Lovely

Rec

[skypilot]

25. Compare those to this...

[Dpm12]

26. Watched inauguration on...

...Fox News and they could not stop bitching. Nothing makes those people happy.

[maryellen99]

27. The Daily Mail

They have pics of the celebrity afterparty at the White House. There are pictures of them dancing until 3:15 am.

[skydive forever]

28. In the second pic

Mitch McConnell looks like he needs to take a big sh#t. Too funny.

[alfredo]

43. If he ever had the shit kicked out of him, all that would be left would be his glasses.

[Raffi Ella]

29. We did it, again. Yes, We did.

[Scurrilous]

30. K & R

[Chorophyll]

31. K&R!

[Phentex]

33. 100th rec!

[JNelson6563]

35. Thank you!

[shenmue]

38. Take that, Republicans

Let me say: pffffft.

[Not a Fan]

39. Why apologize?

Their problems are their problems.

[Number23]

40. "I apologize in advance for the grief and drama these happy pictures..will cause

some certain DUers."

Heh! If pics of happiness and love and pride and SPIRITUALITY cause such massive heartburn among some, that type of miserable existence is a sad and sorry way to live.

K&R.

[JoeyT]

42. Which happy positive words?

The hopeful message of the president, or the snotty ones at the end that you added?

I dunno which is sadder. Threads complaining about Obama that couldn't wait until he was finished being inaugurated, or people that were so upset by the tiny minority of threads complaining about him that they'll mar every single thing of beauty for the next six months over it.

[FredStembottom]

48. Thank you sooooo much Joey T.

That is the most important point needing to be made here.

[JNelson6563]

52. Judging by your response

I reckon you were an intended audience member of that message.

Julie

[JoeyT]

53. Probably not.

I have no problem with Obama. What I don't like are people that try to shut down any kind of discussion. For all that it's denied, that's exactly what that sort of thing is intended to do.

So yeah, judging by your response, the bit about poisoning everything of beauty with snide comments hit home too.

[nyquil_man]

46. I'm confused. I see John Boehner and John Boehner in drag.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

47. "Call to Action: an Appeal for Progress in Our Time"

Love that, and the beautiful pics.

Truly inspiring!

[SunSeeker]

49. K&R
