2. The "blue collar" shirt was a nice touch. :^)

[Cha]

8. Oh yeah! Doncha just

have to dress for the occasion.:D

[BrklynLiberal]

21. Did he have the Secret Service guys take off their ties too??

[JanusAscending]

3. He's lookin' KICK ASS in these pics!!!!!!!

GOBAMA! Hope he interjects some of this fire into his speech to the joint session Wed. :fistbump: Great pics, as usual Jackeens.

[lamp_shade]

4. There you are!! Oh... I'll take #6 with that fire in his eyes. Yikes.

[jaxx]

5. I love President Obama!

[otohara]

6. Grrrrrrrr

Fired up!


Hope like hell - he's READY to go, because those assholes on the right are determined MF'ers.

[PopSixSquish]

7. I Like the Way He Hustled Right onto the Stage

[livetohike]

9. He looks rested. He looks fired up!

And he looks so good behind the sign that says "Seal of the President of the United States". :-)

[Frustratedlady]

10. We have to keep the faith. About the time I'm beginning to weaken...

Obama comes out and restores my faith that he will knock another out of the park.

This is exactly why the Repugs can't stand him. They've never seen anyone they can't beat down or stop.

I feel so good about my vote for the Obama/Biden ticket. Yes We Can!

[hedgehog]

11. Who is the guy in the ortange shirt? Any chance he happens to be

a real plumber?

[Jackeens]

13. He's union member Charlie Dilbert (works at A&A Safety, installs road signs and concrete barriers)

[Pool Hall Ace]

14. I wonder if he has a pointy-haired boss?

GO President Obama! Fired up and ready to GO! :fistbump: :patriot:

[angee_is_mad]

12. That's one fine ass Black man right there!!!

Now he just need to "get er DONE!!!!!"

Fired Up and Ready to GO:fistbump:

[Fire1]

15. Van Jones ain't bad, either! n/t

[kayakjohnny]

16. That speech must've been electrifying...

...cause just check out the lady in the last pic. He's giving her some serious kilowatts there.

[Hutzpa]

17. niiiiiiice

:thumbsup:

[mopinko]

18. gee, maybe next time they could scare up a flag or two.

funny, i was at a ball game today, and they saw no reason to make note of the day. usually, they get a couple of folks in uniforms to drag out a big-assed flag like that for just about anything.

[Born_A_Truman]

19. Thanks!!

I watched his speech today. He had me in tears when he repeated the "fired up" story. I love that story!

Sometimes I still pinch myself when it hits me he was elected. It was a very, very long eight years.

[BrklynLiberal]

20. Ditto

[Tarheel_Dem]

22. He's looking more rested in these photos. Thanks for posting. (nt)

[Ian David]

23. ...

"Oh, fuck. I forgot to wear a flag lapel pin."

[bushisanidiot]

24. That's our President and I'm DAMN PROUD!

I caught most of the speech yesterday and he did an OUTSTANDING job.
Hard to believe AWOL Bush was even ALLOWED behind a podium and mic.
HAHAHA!
