2. I love that they look so serious. Take care of my President!
It's funny...I never noticed the SS with shrub...I guess I wasn't looking for them either. I turned the tv station whenever he came on!

Special Agent Malcolm D. Wiley Sr. (right), a former college-football player, has a winning smile and a handshake that could bend steel. He's been in the U.S. Secret Service for 17 years, part of that time directly guarding the President. How does it feel to go to work knowing that he may have to take a bullet? "It comes with the job," he says crisply. "It's an honor to protect the President. End of discussion."

19. I saw several during his campaign. There definitely are. There was one I called
"Mobius" 'cause that's who he looked like.

28. There are several....
They just don't happen to be in these pictures. In fact, several of them operate as "arrows" who always walk in first before Obama in case someone is just shooting at the black guy first.

Jackeens so kindly posted of Obama shopping for gifts, there's a shot of him (#7) in a store with the crowed gathered 'round and some woman is touching him (gasp!), and two of his SSmen are staring at her like laser beams. Now that's what I'm talking about (no offense lady)!

High fives.

12. Dam I was about a block away from him just after he went into the Byward Market.
I was on my way to work and I thought..that is strange. They have police all the way down to Dalhousie street. Turns out he had stopped off to eat a beaver tail.

25. Think about how surreal this must be for the whole family.
I'm glad they had the primaries to prepare them.

Great pix; I think I'm starting to recognize some of the agents from looking at your pics. :D

Thanks!

He's ALWAYS with Obama. ALWAYS! I pointed it out to some friends and the next day Obama was in Canada and they mentioned seeing him there too.
