Pedestrians line the street hoping to get a glimpse of President-elect Barack Obama as his motorcade passes, taking him to the Kluczynski Federal Building, the location of his Chicago transition office, Thursday, Nov. 20, 2008.

3. They're just checking out his Suburban

4. Wow! I wish I was still in Chicago! I'll probably never even get

to see his motorcade! Those people look excited! So much is expected of Obama and I think he will deliver!

9. on an unrelated note ... I saw the pic in your sig, and realized I saw that earlier today

and it was in the office of a person I would not believe I would ever see a pro-Obama piece of lit ...

I didn't get a good glimpse of it, concerned about what I would see ... expected to see some nasty anti-Obama stuff ...

a co-worker who had turned purple when someone dared question Bush's handling of the "war on terra" ...

5. Does this happen every morning? NT

[firedupdem]

7. Probably...I'd probably be arrested by now..LOL..stalking doesn't

go over well with the secret service...I'd just keep handing his folks my resume!

11. I know what you mean.....

.... I always think of the story of the woman in the Bible who only wanted to touch the hem of Christ's garment to be healed.

I'm pretty sure if I could touch Barack's pant leg it would reduce the appearance of cellulite or something! :)

13. You keep me laughing!!!!

:rofl:

I just keep thinking I can get a job with the administration...

6. This is so cool and feel-good....thanks for posting something so

positive after all the nasty back and forth on here for the last week.

Helps us to remember what we all have to look forward to.

Another good aspect of this, is that Obama gets all of this good energy from these folks every morning when he arrives for work. And as well, it serves as a daily reminder to him that the American people are desperately waiting for change!

12. You're VERY welcome! n/t

8. Ditto post #6!

I'll not hold my breath waiting for the news reports on this.

That is lovely and inspiring :)

14. Wow. That's cool. I didn't know they completely

cleared the streets of traffic when he passed by. It's cool seeing the last SUV with the SS agent riding in the back with the window up as if to say DO. NOT. FUCK. WITH. US. We will take you down to China Town. :applause:

Just another day at the "office" protecting Renegade.
