1. Ya know, it's only the "grown ups" (term used loosely) who can't stand him...

Which is so odd because, to me, he'll always be remembered as "the Grown Up in the room".

[silverweb]

2. True, that!

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]And well put.

[sheshe2]

3. You nailed it SKP!

11. The phony polls

Whenever any of those fake polls showing Obama as being an unpopular president are released, they ought to be responded to with pics like these. Not just with kids, but with adults as well. I'm an old man and I can say that this man is the most popular president EVER. He'd win a third term even if they re-animated Reagan.

12. Thank you Cartoonist!

Well said!

13. This makes me think of the children

behind Prince Charles when President Obama was greeted by the Prince. The children were cheering and clapping for our President Obama!!! How cool is that! Children in the UK cheering for the POTUS!!

The sheer joy on that little boy's face!

[sheshe2]

15. He just grabbed PBO's legs and held on.

As for PBO, SunSeeker...he is a kind and gentle man. It shows in that picture.

[SunSeeker]

16. The only people that don't look happy in those pics are the secret service...

The strain on the agents' faces is intense in that second to last shot. PBO going into crowds must be a nightmare for them, especially with the unprecedented number of death threats he gets.

17. Nothing is more telling to me or more authentic than these interactions.

They are my touchstone in the uproar of American politics and posturing.
