Great pictures.

17. Every time I see photos like this -

and there are many out there of President Obama interacting with children - I try to picture Romney in the same situation. I tend to think there is no way the Mittbot would make a funny pouty face back at the little boy. He'd be more like, "Greetings, smaller human. You are not quite the right height," or something weird and not quite human. Or maybe he would push the kid's face into the butter dish, like he apparently did with his boys.

2. Your thread would draw even greater views if you changed it to 'in The Buff'.

Which is technically true, BTW.

5. lol, randome

13. * I concur, having been ensnared myself by it

<grin>

22. I thought you had a picture of Obama in the buff!

I wish I could have a picture with Barack

I was born a rascist - kind of. I was
so stupid and still am.

I had a good friend who was the only
black in my class. He was popular and one
hell of an athlete. I met him in back-yard
football. I exclaimed, look at that nigger run!
(I was fast but couldn't catch him).

Of course I apologized. I was thinking out-
loud. Five years later I was in the infantry
in Germany - 1967.

My first letter from mom was that my brother
met Herman at the store. Herman was dressed
in army O.D. (olive drab). He was going to
Viet Nam as a medic and concscientous objecter.

The P.S. in the letter was Herman was killed.

He wearing his red and white red cross garb.

He wasn't even 21 years old.

3. Love the pics

granny getting a BIG hug from President O.... and the looks on the kids face too cute

4. Yeah Boulder! Got to be the deepest blue in Colorado

but I'm only guessing - I've never seen an electron result by county map of that region.

7. Romney will meet CU students in the Alfred Packer grill

"have a friend for lunch"

(Packer was convicted of cannibalism)

[cojoel]

36. That would be The Alferd Packer Grill

8. All of those photos will be printed, framed, and

hung on the walls of the people in them. It's a rare privilege to have a personal encounter with a President, and people cherish photos of such encounters.

Thanks for posting!

9. LOL, good one!

[dixiegrrrrl]

10. He is such a personable man, isn't he?

I have many disagreements with Pres. Obama, to be sure, but his warmth and humane-ness comes across in spades.
He demonstrates an ability to SEE people, not look thru them.

[bigtree]

11. so much potential in that

. . . he sees and listens.

[gateley]

12. I love that look on the little girl's face -- children seem to just light up

when Obama turns is light on them. . Needs to work on that last little guy, though.

[bigtree]

15. he almost had him

. . . just shy.

[nolabear]

14. Made me look, made me laugh, made me Awwwwwwww.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. Me too, my dear nolabear......me too...

[Brigid]

19. Me too...

I just love pics of Obama interacting with people. Can you imagine Romney generating photo ops like this?

[progressivebydesign]

24. haha. I still remember Romney saying to the jr. Princess at the MLK parade "those are nice gloves"

as he walked by her looking every uncomfortable.

[highplainsdem]

18. Great photos! Thanks, bigtree!

[Tarheel_Dem]

20. I always love to see him with kids.

[vankuria]

21. I love my President!

Thanks for sharing these awesome photos!!

[progressivebydesign]

[bigtree]

25. don't miss the Denver post link to the entire set

[xxqqqzme]

27. Yes, amazing set of pictures

26. Kicked and recommended.

28. Rmoney can't be programmed for this type of human interaction.

[goclark]

29. k and r

[nobodyspecial]

30. What is remarkable is the one of him hugging the senior woman

She grew up in times of segregation and now she is hugging a biracial president. Gives me chills every time I think of this when he interacts with seniors.

31. Gotta rec this

On a side note, can anyone tell me how to get a picture from photobucket to post on DU?
I have a great photo of when my daughter met Obama.
, but I am computer challenged and on a dial-up.

[bigtree]

32. is it already on photobucket?

[panader0]

33. Yes

[bigtree]

35. right click on the pic and copy the 'image link' (copy image location)

. . . the link address for the pic should already have a jpg, a gif, or a jpeg, or a png ending (unless it was altered in photobucket). The link needs to have one of those endings for the pic to show up on DU.

Just paste the image link on your post and the pic should show up.

34. Who is a better candidate?

A president you'd like to have a beer with?

Or a president you'd allow to hold your children and share a cookie with.


Or maybe both. He is so good with people.
