1. I thought by Presidential Decree every time the "Blocked Shot" is displayed the text must have ..

personal aide Reggie Love was once a forward for the Duke University Blue Devils.

Hey ... please correct ;-)

[murielm99]

2. Great pictures!

Thanks for posting. For some reason, I like the basketball pictures best.

One question: is that Dubya sitting next to Clinton? :puke:

[Jackeens]

4. Hey murielm99

He looks dangerously like Bush alright, but fortunately it's not him!

[murielm99]

5. Do you know who it is?

Man, I'd hate it if I looked that much like Dubya. How unfortunate for that gentleman.

[Jackeens]

6. He's not mentioned in any of the captions

http://www.daylife.com/search?q=Obama+cronkite+Clinton

But he is familiar - but it could be the Shrub likeness that's confusing me :-)

[GoCubsGo]

14. George Mitchell??

Maybe?

On edit: Actually, it looks more like Tom Harkin.


I have no idea who this guy is, either...

[rvablue]

15. Could it be Les Moonves of CBS? Pic:

I'd think so as that's where Cronkite anchored.

[Jackeens]

18. Ooh, it looks like him alright, but not sure

:shrug:

[alsame]

7. About pic # 9....is there

pie on that table? He's got that look in his eyes. :rofl:

19. Thank you Jackeens! Your threads save my sanity on tough days! Always a big treat. -eom

[never cry wolf]

20. I hope that that putter Arnie gave is a historical momento

and not meant for use. If so he needs to swap it for a lefthanded putter.
