1. What do McSame and Poland have in common?

They've both been forgotten...

:evilgrin:

[caledesi]

8. Good One! NT

[opihimoimoi]

2. Someone in Cain's Camp suggested this trip...remember that?

McLame even offered to assist him....

Whoever that dude is...ya know what he is going through.....Hahahaha

[jillan]

3. Something tells me that s/he is learning all about McCain's temper!

:P

[opihimoimoi]

4. Bwahahahahahahaha LOL

[gblady]

5. it was....

a truly amazing and event-packed week...
I hope the boy gets some much deserved rest!

[OffWithTheirHeads]

6. Yeah, and if he's having trouble getting to sleep

he can always listen to a McCain speech. Works for me every time.

[jillan]

21. McCain = Lunesta.

Maybe after he loses this election he can sell himself to the pharma corps.

[Muttocracy]

35. HA! We should tell him he can make more money that way a la Dole

:rofl:

[momrois]

44. Nah, that won't work

I have to turn him off on the radio because he whistles through his dentures to the point I forget what he's talking about.

[Eurobabe]

7. Thanks Pirhana, and a few of my favorites....

Great picture!!


My picture of the magazine boxes in Berlin


We were on the opposite side of the street, maybe there are pix of us somewhere?


A sea of Obamaniacs!


Somewhere in the crowd?


If we had opted to go to the left side of the podium, we would have definitely met him :cry:

[jillan]

11. Hey you -

Not everyone was lucky enough to be there . . . like YOU!

Great pics...much better than what the msm provided :)

[Eurobabe]

15. Those are mostly from German papers/mags

only a couple are actually taken by little old me. ;)

[Botany]

47. That picture of him greeting the crowd made me cry

ja können wir yes we can

[Eurobabe]

53. If I wasn't there I would have cried

Seriously. That was an event I will always remember. I am still electrified!!!

So many countries and peoples in attendance, and no one hated America. :bounce: :bounce:

We will redeem ourselves, I tell you.

[Botany]

54. Is that Obama Girl in the last pix?

[Eurobabe]

55. LOL, maybe?

Sure looks a little like her. And she is over the top! :rofl:

[ecstatic]

9. LMAO @ the failed bump

That's funny! Sarkozy seems to really like Obama!

[Flabbergasted]

10. It was hard to find someone who didn't seem to be genuinely pleased to be with O. nt

[jillan]

14. All the world leaders he met with genuinely seem to enjoy his company rather

than the forced smiles you see on their faces when members of this administration meets with them.

With the possible exception of Petraeus..hehe!

[Inuca]

18. Actually even Petraeus

looks much more human in most pictures than I ever saw him before.

[jillan]

25. yeah, but I don't think Pet. was used to someone standing up to him.

[gateley]

52. Well,

he's had the pleasure of meeting with Biden before, so.... :evilgrin:

[Mad_Dem_X]

46. I was just thinking that

Look at their smiles! :)

[PatSeg]

12. Great pics

This has been a historical week. I never thought it could be this good!

[jillan]

13. Me neither! I never thought I would like Obama this much.

I finally got drunk on the kool-aide ;) and I like it!

[Eurobabe]

16. Took you long enough.

:rofl: :grouphug: :loveya:

[jillan]

20. It was this week that put the icing on the cake.

Now I have a cupcake....and a cake. ;)

[Muttocracy]

23. we can have our cake

and our cupcake too! :)

[jillan]

29. Lots of sugar in the upcoming administration.

To make up for the bitter taste we all have right now from this one.

[Eurobabe]

37. LOL

:thumbsup:

[Eurobabe]

28. So who's the cake and who's the cupcake?

Inquiring minds want to know. I hope cake puts cupcake on the ticket. :D

[jillan]

30. There will only be one cupcake as far as I'm concerned.

[Inuca]

38. LOL!! n/t

[Inuca]

36. Icing on the kool-aid :-)?

:hi:

[jillan]

39. Can you tell that I'm a sweets addict?

icing, cupcakes, kool-aide.....

Interesting choice of words to use to discuss politics, huh? :)

[PatSeg]

17. Well I'm comfortable

in the fact that I didn't automatically buy in to all the hype. Obama needed to convince me and he has succeeded. In the early days of the campaign he was really not all that impressive. He's come a LONG way and I think he is the perfect person for this time in history.

[jillan]

24. Sometimes I think we are better off because we didn't buy into the hype.

I can see Obama for who he is, a skilled and saavy politician....

and I'm impressed, not disappointed.

[PatSeg]

32. I think so too

I can appreciate all the PR, but I needed to know there was more to the package than pretty trimmings. Obama is a good solid choice and as you say, a "skilled and savvy politician", which is necessary if he wants to win.

[MadMaddie]

48. You just made me smile!!

:toast:

[Cha]

19. We need a fist bump smilie!

Thanks for the synopsis in pics, piranha!

[Muttocracy]

22. I said that a while back and people made 2 versions - will try to find them

[Cha]

26. That'd be cool..

thanks for looking.

[Muttocracy]

31. here ya go:

[Cha]

34. Thanks, JoeIsOneOfUs!

Lot's of good fist bumps..I hope they add it to their smilie collection~

[Kaleko]

50. Here's one more

Great to see in these pics how Obama exudes a totally different energy than any other politician. It's like he brings his own weather. You can see those smiles are genuine and they are in response to him.

[Cha]

56. Gracias! Red and Blue babies..

[polichick]

27. Thanks - great stuff! Nice job Mr. President!

[David Zephyr]

33. Nice work, pirhana. K&R.

:thumbsup:

[jillan]

40. Thanks - I gotta admit, when I started going thru the pics

it amazed me even more how much he crammed into one week.

In one week he improved US-foreign relations.

He is Superman :P

[TheDonkey]

41. Hell. Yes.

[TBF]

42. Smiles around the world -

a welcome change. :hug:

[AzDar]

43. VERY nice!

Viva Obama!!:toast:

[Rosa Luxemburg]

45. I was touched that he was at the 'Wailing Wall'

a real President to be!

[trickyguy]

49. Appeciate the great tour in pix. K&R again.

[gateley]

51. Wow - GREAT compilation, P!

Don't know how I missed it! I'm sorry I missed the 'recommend' deadline, but I recommended it in my heart!
