19. What a difference a President makes...
The troops didn't look that happy with the last guy.

I hope Obama is heading home. I've been so worried about them both, but it turns out they are showered with love and enthusiasm. Bless their hearts.

What a great feeling to know they are our First Couple!!!

6. And as wonderful as those photos are.....
.... they dont even begin to capture the enthusiasm like the video does, which, hopefully, will be online shortly.

9. Thanks! This is like watching the news but without hearing the
bubbleheads making their inane comments.

There's something about #9 that I really like, but can't pinpoint what.

30. Maybe it's the way his arms are set up like Lincoln in the memorial?
And that he appears to be listening to someone.

17. Great photos, as usual!
The ones with President Obama hugging/shaking hands with the troops are very moving. Thanks once again, Jackeens, for all your efforts to find and post these pics.

21. Get the troops out of Iraq and bring them home
It's great that the President went to Iraq, but the only troops that he saw should have been the 10 or 20 on guard duty at the embassy.

The troops should be out of Iraq and home where they belong.

Out Now!
