MT @dougmillsnyt: Obama reacts as he is greeted by a man wearing a horse-head as he walked the streets of Denver.

21. Must be some guy who lives with a lot of republi-CONS

who'd give him mucho shit if they knew he'd shook the hand of that-black-guy-in-the-Oval-Office-who-(GASP!!!!)-isn't-the-janitor? That'd be my guess. A secret "D" voter who doesn't want his friends and roommates and neighbors to know?

[steve2470]

23. horse head ? lol Most ridiculous photo with prez ever ! nt

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

32. I respectfully disagree

The President has been photographed in the company of Louie Gohmert. And boy, that Secret Service guy doesn't look happy.

[bigtree]

3. after a slow start, Obama won handily.

Pool: As the pool started to leave, Obama suddenly got hot, sinking multiple shots and winning the game. "Did you record that?" Obama asked

In Denver, Obama played a little pool with Gov. John Hickenlooper. After a slow start, Obama won handily.

[panader0]

11. If you were the Governor, would you beat Obama? lol

[Fla Dem]

12. LOL, that was my 1st thought, but to be fair, Obama did have to actually sink them. nt

[awoke_in_2003]

31. I would

Gotta have bragging rights

[bigtree]

14. Prez was humble about it

. . . not!

4. I'll join you, bigtree and toast one for President Obama in my state and home town

of Denver, Colorado

Excellent thread, mahalo, bigtree~ OK, another and the Gov Hickenlooper.. I remember when he was Mayor of Denver

[bigtree]

7. home state, huh? Coolness, Cha!

Hickenlooper must be a good guy to get Denver to elect him mayor.

8. Cool shot of Obama..

I'm sorry.

[giftedgirl77]

26. Wow Cha, small world.

I was born in grand junction & spent my wild years running the streets of Denver.

[Cha]

28. Cool, giftedgirl! I lived out of the Plains with

my grandparents during high school so not much running the streets of Denver after that. I must say it was an awesome hometown back in the day.

29. The President in Cheesman Park yesterday.. that's where I use to hang out, ggirl!

“Do Not Let Them Win By You Being Cynical”

5. A travesty has been committed amongst these photos...

Went to Wynkoop for the first time in several years a couple of weeks ago....

they've removed their Shepards Pie served with hot beer bread from the menu.

They're most popular item for more than two decades....gone.

Why? The server informed me that they got a new chef and she told them that that kind of fair doesn't sell in Colorado anymore because people are too healthy.

I looked the server in the eye and said, "Then ask her why Voodoo Donuts has a line around the block at 3am and Pete's Kitchen has been busy since 1942.".

I refuse to go back until they return the Shepards Pie to the menu.

[bigtree]

6. 'served with hot beer bread'

. . . mmm!!



President Obama fist bumps with a statue of a gorilla at Wynkoop Brewery in downtown Denver tod

9. OMGS.. that's so funny.. you can kinda tell he's having

a great little bear on the loose time in Wynkoop's!

[bigtree]

10. the bear

. . . is definitely in his element!

13. It's infectious!

[snooper2]

20. Well, you haven't been there for years, then show up

demand the shepards pie! DEMAND IT I SAY LOL-

They are like, mm, okay, see you in a couple years check back with us then

[librechik]

15. Wazee Supper Club is my fave LoDo bistro; very convenient and friendly

for decades

[Initech]

16. Now there is a president you can have a beer with!

Mitt Romney probably wouldn't have anything stronger than a glass of tap water.

[lib87]

18. No Doubt About it.

[Puzzledtraveller]

17. Aw

So pwecious!

[bigtree]

19. update: video in op

[calimary]

22. I would love to see the "Free Weed for Obama" sign!

Wonder if anybody has a photo of that?

I would imagine, also, that walkabouts like this restore the President's faith in regular ol' civilian Americans rather than those making themselves out to be (and parading around in their cute little Army-Navy Surplus costumes) "enemy combatants" - more like "domestic terrorists". I'd want to be with the regular folks too, if I faced a barrage like that!

[Blue Owl]

24. He really nailed that five ball

(FYI the 5 ball is the ORANGE ball)

[mountain grammy]

25. thanks for the pics. Watching local 9 news, I thought nobody came to see the president

and only Republicans had anything to say and blah, blah blah. Just give me the weather and STFU. As a matter of fact, I'll look up my own weather and skip the right wing news bullshit.

Meantime, I'd sure love a chance to see the president.

[bigtree]

33. this makes me happy, and a little sad at the same time

. . . there is so much that isn't reported about this administration. It's almost criminal.

So glad you were able to see the Prez in his element. Hope you get your wish!

[RufusTFirefly]

27. What?! No doobie?!

Duuuude!! This is Colorado!

[SummerSnow]

30. How dare he.Shouldn't he be at the border hugging those children
