2. I keep forgetting the photo post method since photobucket days.

His photo his in both links. Distinguished looking older, tall, slender black man. Looks like he may be a friend who works for her.

4. If you mean the man getting a kiss on the cheek, it's Dan Kildee (my congressman)

Let me rephrase that. My wonderful congressman, Democrat Dan Kildee, representing Michigan's 5th District.

6. He's Congressman

Bobby Rush from Chicago's Southside. Been in office for a long time. His office once arranged for me and my grandson to have a VIP tour of the White House.

8. How cool!

He looks super cool. He looked like he's a pastor with secretarial skills.

Thanks for helping me.

10. He's very interesting

Was an early civil rights advocate and radical and a founding member of the Black Panthers in Chicago. Radicalized but then got a Theological degree and became a political force in the Black Community. Only one to ever defeat Barack Obama when he ran against him for Congress!

11. It was great to see a face put to the name.

I now recall the Black Panther connection. And can see how he alone defeated Obama.

9. I know there was a congressman who is a minister and opened the new congress with a prayer.

Didn't catch the name. I am assuming you mean the gentleman with the clerical collar.

12. I thought it was the man who led the prayer. But it was Rep Bobby Rush of Chicago. N/T
