While Obama had visited the White House before, today was the first time he had ever stepped foot in the Oval Office.

Savor it...it's a new day.

1. Who's the ugly asshole on the left of him???

:D

[ultraist]

2. Ha! The dude who is supposed to be packing his bags.

And it cannot happen soon enough.

5. You mean that gracious, generous with our money, ugly

asshole on the left of him, don't you??? :-)

I just downloaded this video. I'm making a library of all things Obama. Hope I can save it long enough to convince my young grandnephew that he needs to vote for a Democrat when he gets old enough. He's surrounded by Republicans including my sister. Can't understand what happened to her. I love my sister and don't want to lose her because of politics so I'll work on him from a distance. We've already had email conversations. He depends on me, ;-) for information.

6. First Photo

Why is Bush on the left? That's kind of perverse!

[clydefrand]

8. Unfortunately, Bush is on the right if you look at them from the front.

BUT WE know who is right, don't we?

7. Look at the body language.

Obama's leg is crossed over to Bush - accepting.
Bush's leg is away from Obama.

[clydefrand]

9. Don't you think most people cross their legs that way IF they can

do it at all. Actually Obama should be left legged since he's left handed???? I don't know. Will have to check with leftie hubby. Naw, he just crosses his feet at the ankles and squeeks his shoes to the point that I want to SCREAM...stop that! And sometimes I do. And he says, "What was I doing?" He can't hear very well, but I surely can.

And if Bushie crossed his leg the other way, they might be playing footsies...nobody would want to do that with Bush! :-)

15. It was something I read about bdoy language.

[jimmybama]

10. yippee

Bush can't cross his legs due to an enormous ASSHOLE. Hey
Barry-make sure you measure them fuckin drapes, baby!!!!!!!! 

[ultraist]

13. That's right, measure those drapes!

lmao.

Welcome to DU!

11. Obama should have brought an eviction notice with him!

seriously 71 days?? I don't think there would be a majority of objections if Obama started a few weeks early.

[stlsaxman]

12. I wonder if he took a moment and sat in the chair behind the desk....

i mean he's what- 10 feet away from it?!?!

so close, yet- so close!

14. There were over a 1,000 people outside the White House

fence cheering for the Obamas when they arrived. That must of stung quite a bit. Plus Obama's legal team released a statement regarding Gitmo stating that we can't keep people in dungeons forever. They need to be processed. I guess Obama is being really proactive. He's not going to take any shit from Bush or his cronies. Also, did anyone notice how Obama put his hand on Bush's back and ushered him into the White House? That is something you do to a guest not the other way around. Obama is already acting like it is already his. I love it! Go Obama!!!

16. Obama looks like he belongs there

the other guy needs to start collecting his things and packing.
