5. I'm so jealous! I lived in Columbus the first 28 years of my life and the only President I

got to see was Nixon! President Obama has made many trips to OSU and now to Capital where I took art classes as a teenager.

12. Come back and visit us sometime! /nt

6. Can I just say...

...I just love the diversity of his crowds. I was born and raised in Chicago. I didn't realize how rare that type of diversity was until I moved to central Arizona (they've even chased out the Hispanics). My husband is from SoCal, so he was used to the same melting pot. We're both (lilly) white, but our family gatherings look like the UN.

I miss it. I miss the different cultures. I miss beautiful shades of people. I couldn't be a Republican. I'd get sick of looking at all those white Christians. Actually, because of where I live now, I already am.

Anyway, this is the type of crowd a President SHOULD attract. All people, all faiths, all races, all lifestyles, all shades of life.

7. I am in love!

Never felt so deeply about any president before, Obama is the president that I am truly in love with, admire totally and am honored by him being in the White House working for us, I pray God that he gets his well deserved second term, our first black president, I AM IN LOVE!!!

9. First of all...

I so love him. But in the last picture, the one where the two women were hugging him...can't you just feel the stroke the poor secret service guys must be having? He just wades right into crowds, and there's no way crowds this size can be "controlled". He's got to be a bear to protect. Serious kudos to those guys.

13. true

I was thinking the same thing about the security guys. But I have to admit I had tears welling up looking at that picture. i just love him. He shows the people he loves them and they love him back.

15. Always gives me a boost to see Obama with Americans!

Someone noted that there are often more women in the crowds then men. I dunno about that, but certainly not in these pix!

16. SS: "Uh, ladies-- please step back"

I don't ever recall a president being so loved by his people-- except, perhaps, JFK.

11. Obama's ARE YOU IN line used by Rev. Rick Warren in 2005

to advocate for Christian Dominionism.

See http://www.talk2action.org/story/2009/12/4/134435/084/ for video and transcript.

Is Pres. Obama going to cart around Rick Warren this year like he did in '08?
