They are wonderful photos!

[Merlot]

5. Apologie not necessary - we always need to remember where we've been

but damn, those first pic people just look shifty!

[patrice]

6. OUR Guy lookin' pretty damned good, for having the weight of the World on his shoulders!!

God bless him!

Om namah Shivaya!

[LSparkle]

7. OMG - even with all the turmoil in the world, I AM SO HAPPY ...

that he is our president! Still brings me close to tears and
I have to pinch myself to believe the nightmare is over and we
have adult supervision back in D.C.

[siligut]

39. I second this!

Great pics, thank you.

[karynnj]

8. Such an amazing difference in emotion

Last night was great - and Obaam likely knew it would be before he entered the room.

Philadelphia Police Officer Richard DeCoatsworth

16. Thanks for that, because I was about to ask the same question. I noticed

him last night, and didn't know who he was. Forgive me for being a little starstruck, but he's a hottie.

[goclark]

11. I love Dr. Biden ~ She seems thrilled to be having this

experience and so does Michelle Obama.

Isn't it a nice feeling to know that Pickles is in Texas and GW is out of our television?


YEA for US!

[Cha]

12. I never saw one of bush's

speech's but, I was thinking last night how ugly it must have been.

For the first time ever Obama went over to the other side and shook their hands after his address.

[Muttocracy]

15. wow, that's very telling that he did that! nt

[Beacool]

19. They all shake hands.

No matter who the president is he shakes hands with members of Congress regardless of party.

;-)

[Ocracoker16]

17. Thanks so much

[lunatica]

18. And President Obama got 17 point boost in the polls to add to his political capital

the very next day! Only this time it's real capital, not the make believe, I'm in a bubble and I can lie about it all I want capital.

[Hope And Change]

20. Wonderful pics.K & R!

36. I don't know bout you but

I watched his entrance a second time and the greeting he gave Hillary was reserved only for her.Well and maybe Joe but he was doing the handshake thing as he walked through the crowd and he saw her and got a big grin and kind of sauntered over and did that warm handshake with her with a twinkle in his eye and the smooch.

When I first watched it I didn't realize it was Hillary. I wondered who it was that got that special greeting.

It has to make you feel good Beacool i know what a big supporter of hers you were. He is letting her shine and its awesome to see not only his letting her be a power on the world stage but his clear happiness with her on a personal level.

I was not a big fan of her in the primaries I wanted Obama but it does my heart good to see them with such a healthy looking relationship. I hope it does yours as well.

[Beacool]

44. Yes, he did give Hillary a big greeting.

Somewhere I read that he opened his arms big to hug her and the Sergeant at Arms got caught temporarily in the embrace until he was able to slip out of the way. LOL!!! Notice how Obama after kissing her on the cheek kept his hand on her shoulder as he talked to someone else. They liked each other before the primaries and I guess they have reverted back to that stance.

Does it make me feel good? As long as she's happy with the job and the way she's being treated, I'm OK with it. Do I prefer him as president over her? No, I'm not going to lie about it. But I'm getting used to him and he is handling himself quite well.

:hi:

[ckimmy57]

41. Thanks Beacool

for putting my two favorite people (well, besides big Bill)in these pics. It just warms my little heart to know Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton will bring dignity and respect back to our country. :grouphug:

[Beacool]

45. We can only hope..........

Take care!!

Thanks. I couldn't decide if I should join but after spending months lurking here, I've made 'ghost' friends reading the journals and posts. I couldn't help myself anymore. I couldn't post unless I joined!

[thereismore]

28. Did our President gain a wee bit of weight? Looking good! nt

[nc4bo]

[FlyingSquirrel]

31. Sorry, but Pelosi spoils the pictures for me.

I just can't forgive her for taking impeachment off the table. Never will.

[ProSense]

32. Impeachment was a

lame substitute for real justice.

Pelosi looks great. It was great to see sensible smiling Democrats prepared to lead America into the future.

[anachro1]

33. I agree.

"Impeachment is off the table."

Impeach her.

[Deep13]

37. So how much partially digested beef is in that first pic?
