1. He's going to go up to the residence and have a very large gin & tonic now.

With extra gin.

[AwakeAtLast]

14. And pie.

I'm sure there's pie somewhere in the White House. :D

2. OK, who are the 2 in a bear hug in the background?

Rahm? :D

[Jackeens]

5. Rahm on the right??

[NYC Liberal]

6. I think so but I can't be sure!

[Jackeens]

24. I hope he was hugging and not strangling someone at that moment.

:-)

3. That photo has got to be driving Freepers absolutely insane. n/t

[saltpoint]

17. Short trip for most of them, but you're right -- it has all the

elements required to explode heads over on the freeper fringe.

4. Historic indeed n/t

8. Roosevelt Room and FDR portrait on wall.

:bounce:

[whathehell]

33. Yay..!!!...I'm sure you know that historians recently pronounced FDR as THE best president

in living memory...With Dubya as the worst for the same time period.

The first two were Washington and Lincoln, of course...but the third was FDR.

You may have noticed that the M$M made VERY little of this...The Reich Wing preferring to "forget" FDR...and of course the "third worse" designation for Dumbya.

I'm not old enough to remember Roosevelt..but my parents did and they revered him...My sister and I, like other boomers around our age group, lived under all the benefits that his New Deal provided...

That's why so many of us have been HORRIFIED at the dismantling of that America over the last twenty to twenty five years.

[Sheltiemama]

35. That was a nice touch.

I'm so glad they have a sense of history.

[Politicub]

43. It's absolutely perfect that the portrait of FDR is overseeing the celebration

It seems that all progressive legislation from the past 100 years stems from the Democratic party.

[Warren Stupidity]

9. Well played!

Waterloo indeed, but that little shit Boner is playing the role of Napoleon.

[NYC Liberal]

10. Wow. I just noticed FDR looking on.

How perfect.

[Clio the Leo]

13. it's a genuine Roosevelt triangulation! NT

[prolesunited]

18. How perfect indeed

[Rosa Luxemburg]

20. Yes!!!!

[Drunken Irishman]

28. So is Teddy!

It was in the Roosevelt Room - obviously named after FDR and Teddy. :D

How about we rename it the Obama-Roosevelt Room? ;)

[Clio the Leo]

11. awesome! thank you! NT

[saltpoint]

12. THAT is a splendid picture. Obama applauds. Biden warms the room with

his smile. Staffers raising arms and clapping and hugging. FDR and Teddy on the walls.

I like it.

Thank you, Jackeens.

For the effing teabaggers, call him all the names you want but don't ever try to hurt him! Amen!

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

29. Joe's smile will surely be the death of me. *sigh*

Jill's a lucky lady... :)
