1. Damn. That man needs to chill.

[roguevalley]

46. Last one made me think 'froggy went a courtin'' for some reason.`

;)

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

71. As intoned by Bobby Hill?

:hi:

[NoSheep]

87. That's our guy with uncle pee-pee!

:rofl:

[JuniperLea]

2. That smile isn't near as broad as usual...

And his tie is crooked!

OMG! He's not even trying anymore!

:rofl:

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

12. Laughing here.

[AtomicKitten]

3. "I got this."

:bounce:

[Cha]

57. Oh My Goodness ...the long

and winding road:bounce:

[AZBlue]

79. Hi!

:hi:

[NoSheep]

89. nice graphic

[TlalocW]

4. I think he's worried that he still can't close the deal

WHY CAN'T HE CLOSE THE DEAL?

TlalocW

[closeupready]

7. Yup. Written all over his face.

:rofl:

[Pirate Smile]

9. I hear he still can't get Hispanics, women or the white working class.

Oh, nooooooo!!!

[CTyankee]

50. Quick, what do the polls say? n/t

[DevonRex]

5. Uh oh. His stripes go the wrong way. That looks bad for us.

I mean, anybody who didn't drink the koolaid just knew his strips would go that way, but those that did, well, they're gonna be pissed.

heh heh

[Raschel]

86. He's hypnotizing people with his tie. I just know it.

[liberalmuse]

6. I think he could teach the Buddhist Monks a few pointers.

LOL. I love this, but sincerely hope that he is this relaxed looking a few years from now. I hate the thought of the office doing to him what it has done to many before him.

[Cha]

58. We're goin' see, aren't we?

My money's on Obama:fistbump:

[Alter Ego]

8. "I AM a bad enough dude to be the President."

[Blues Heron]

10. !!!!!!

:rofl:

[Tesla]

11. "Who can turn the World on with their smile"

[Ryano42]

13. OMG!!!

I think this is what "Closing the Deal" looks like!!! :) :kick:

[NOLALady]

49. What?

He was finally able to "close the deal"? Good for him!

[nc4bo]

14. I want to buy our President Elect a nice new leather wallet for Christmas...

http://www.bmfwallets.com/

He's earned it :rofl:





Sidenote: I wonder if President Elect Obama enjoyed the movie Pulp Fiction? :)

[Tutonic]

80. Haaaa! You folks are hot tonight!

[Wapsie B]

15. Wow! Love that tie!

I want one of those.

[azmouse]

16. Look up 'cool' in the dictionary and his pic should be there.

:smoke:

[No Elephants]

17. They sure could use some

coasters under those glasses.

And, sorry, but I am not crazy about the tie, even if he did get the cover of GQ.

[grasswire]

19. yeah, what's with the glasses on the shiny wood table?!

My momma would smack me for that.

[monmouth]

55. First thing I thought of....Where's the coasters?????

[quiet.american]

75. Silly -- this is the 21st century -- it's a hologram! :) nt

[grasswire]

18. picture one is presidential; picture two is not

A gentleman is taught how to cross the legs when sitting for photos. It's an important class marker understood around the world. Look at photo five. Every other man is sitting properly fitting for the occasion and their position in leadership. Obama, bless him, is sitting like a basketball player.

He'll learn.

[Lex]

23. Vast improvement over

[Catherine Vincent]

25. ....

:rofl:

[Vektor]

26. OMG!!

I've never seen that pic! Hysterical - it looks like Bush is three sheets to the wind, trying to make a pass at the elderly woman.

[yardwork]

32. LOL!

[libnnc]

36. "Heh heh...I got these squishy nuts twinx mah legs..."

"Ya wanna feel 'em?" :puke:

[Lex]

62. Gawd, what an embarassment this POS has been

for 8 long, deadly, and miserable years.

[MarthaMyDear]

72. Hahahahahahahahahaha!

[Blue Diadem]

91. *snort*

:spray:

:rofl:

[AzDar]

52. Stay classy, George!

:thumbsup:

[Erin Elizabeth]

40. I don't know, I think the way the other guys are sitting

is a bit prissy looking.

[Skittles]

20. it's so....presidential....I...may overdose on it

must....make it to January

[Callalily]

21. That is the look of confidence! n/t

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

22. WHERE THE FUCK IS HIS FLAG PIN???????

[Alhena]

34. Dunno, but I wish Obama would wear one the size of a 20 dollar bill

no one could doubt his patriotism then.

[Erin Elizabeth]

37. No no no. We set the goddamned tone now.

NO fucking flag pins. They're ridiculous and mean nothing. Superficial material nothingness. It's not a real flag and putting one on doesn't make you a better person or a better American, so we should just nip that stupid bullshit right in the bud right now.

[Vektor]

24. Nice pics! Even McCain looks more relaxed...

I'm guessing since the grueling rigors of the campaign are finally over, they might actually have been able to get a full night's sleep for the first time in god knows how long.

I love Obama's tie, and the relaxed atmosphere of these pics.

[nichomachus]

30. I'm thinking that McCain

for the last month or so was really hoping he didn't get elected. It's one of those things that sounds like a good idea -- until it starts to become a reality -- and then you realize what's involved. Also, he got a closer look at Secessionist Sarah and realized he was going to be having to deal with that bag of trash. Being president is bad enough, but having a loose cannon like Sarah hanging around was going to make the job 100 times harder. She had her own hardcore constituency of nutballs, racists, and thugs. Trying to deal with the country -- and trying to deal with Sarah would be a nightmare beyond belief. She slipped her leash at the first round of applause -- and she never looked back.

[intheflow]

43. I've thought that, too.

I'm sure that's why he was able to make such a gracious concession speech, he was relieved he didn't have to deal with nutjob Palin and the failing economy, war in Iraq, etc.

[Vektor]

64. That makes a lot of sense.

Both McCain and the entire country are better off. Hopefully, when the media stops trying to beat the dead horse that is the specter of Failin' Palin, she can go back into obscurity where she belongs.

[MadMaddie]

67. He also probalby thought he would have to have food tasters

and someone watching his back 24/7 because Sarah wanted the Presidency. I wouldn't trust her further than I can spit...just sayin...

[Mabus]

45. Sure McCain's relaxed

He got into Cindy's stash. Who wouldn't be relaxed after a couple of those bad boys?

[Tutonic]

81. Haaa!!!!

[Lex]

27. When the press left, they probably talked about what a tool Sarah Palin is.

:rofl:

[Triana]

28. One word: gorgeous. :) n/t

[FrenchieCat]

29. I'll take "That One"!

[yardwork]

31. Rare fashion faux pas for Obama. That tie is too wide and shiny.

[FrenchieCat]

35. The tie reflects his smile! Wide and shiny!

[Cha]

60. I love the

tie..It's different and he's earned it.

[ArbustoBuster]

66. I bet that tie is all the rage next week.

Presidents (and Presidents-Elect) set fashion trends, when they're popular. :)

[applegrove]

33. What a smile.

[mod mom]

38. Mr Cool, Calm and Collected.

Oops...my bad, make that President Cool, Calm & Collected ;)

[d_b]

39. left leg over right

that's how weeeeeee dooooooo.

[Citizen_Penn]

41. You know, all joking aside.

Where else on the planet could the two guys who fought fiercely sit down and have a cordial meeting?

Democracy is the real beauty in these photos. Flag pin or no flag pin.

[Muttocracy]

69. great point :-) nt

[Tim4319]

42. Were there any preconditions?

[graywarrior]

44. Why did he have to be some damn hot?

And so damn cool? Damn him.

[Jackeens]

48. McCain?

[graywarrior]

61. Yeah, McCain

[annabanana]

74. hey, grey. . . when're ya gonna

Gray

[annabanana]

84. lol!. . check!. . . . .n/t

[On the Road]

47. I Think It's Interesting

that Obama and McCain are sitting with their legs crossed towards each other. It's something generally found among friends or people with a good vibe between them.

Rahm, OOH, is crossing his legs the other way.

[AzDar]

51. Yep. McCain's STILL an idiot.

Just checkin'...

[Vinca]

53. I never thought the words

"president" and "hottie" would ever go together.:rofl:

[Cha]

59. And such a darling

family man:)

[Rosa Luxemburg]

77. We look forward to seeing that sunny smile every day

makes a nice change from Bush

[windbreeze]

54. Is Obama left handed?....3 others have right leg over left...n/t

[Muttocracy]

68. he is, but so is McCain. nt

[Cha]

56. Man, does he

clean up nice when he's back off the grind of the road:D

What PICS! Thanks, Jackeens~

[styxandjourneyrule]

63. That last one is priceless: compare the smiles of both men

McCain's look says a lot. It must be hard to have to sit next to Obama and Rahm and act like it's no biggie after such a long, hard fight.

[Clio the Leo]

65. Love those fake smiles John and esp. Lindsey are rockin....

..... good GRIEF how I cant stand Lindsey Graham!

[Cali_Democrat]

70. cool as a cucumber

:D

[sniffa]

73. The most concrete reason I can't enter politics

I can't cross my legs like that.

[Iwillnevergiveup]

76. Barack looks great

but why is Lindsey Graham there, huh? And where the heck is Holy Joe? He gonna be mad.

[psychmommy]

78. that is my president right there.

looking all presidential and handsome. speaking all professionally and stuff. wow that is my president.

[LoKnLoD]

82. He's just a little tense

Lindsey Graham made a pass at him...not that theres anything wrong with that.

[cooolandrew]

85. This was the main thrust to his campagin uniting a nation. True to his word.

[DearAbby]

88. SWEET POTATO PIE!!!....n/t

[mwei924]

90. He looks a lot better after the election. I'm guessing he's finally able to sleep more than 2 hours.

[Life Long Dem]

92. Youtube has a video. Obama didn't squirm "once".

You can see McSame squirming. McSame looks like he made the better deal at a car dealership, and Obama looks confident that he isn't losing money on the deal.
