1. Awesome, thanks. I love the last one.

[ColbertWatcher]

26. Agreed! That last one is amazing! n/t

[politicasista]

2. I love the last three pics

Can't wait until Barack and Michelle move into the WH. :patriot:

[Ned_Devine]

3. He's money, baby

and his wife is hot

[glinda]

30. I agree

she is very beautiful. Obama is hot. They look so very much in love. It would be really nice to actually see a loving couple and family in the WH.

[texpatriot2004]

4. Thanks for the pics. nm

[tridim]

5. I want to see a closeup of Obama's face while he was listening to Gramps blather on.

Great pics!

[CrispyQ]

6. I wish I could recommend this over & over & over.

The photo of the Obama's with the red background is beautiful!

[Adsos Letter]

7. Those last three are great...tho crowd seems to genuinely love him!

[Beaverhausen]

9. They are great. Did McSame stick around to get pics with the crowd?

:rofl:

[lumberjack_jeff]

13. Nope, but I hope he got to see it on TV

:rofl:

[Adsos Letter]

19. The Freepers are saying that there was a much larger, off-camera audience...

and that C-SPAN showed him working that crowd...even if it's true...no one else saw it... :D

[MissMarple]

8. Thanks, Kadie. Those are great pics.

McCain knows he lost. Cindy was stoic, at best. The Obamas....they are genuine and gracious.

[Kadie]

28. .

:hi:

[notadmblnd]

10. Look at all the undecideds he just got to vote for him.

McCain just walking out the door, not a good move.

[AllyCat]

11. Hmmm....lots o' pix of Obama, not much of McSame

McSame looked at That One though which is probably why he felt he needed to call him that.

[lonestarnot]

14. That thing had to take a nap.

[Kadie]

27. Mc* was out of there quick last night.

It seemed strange he left so early.

[malaise]

12. I watched them take those on Cspan1

Gramps left the venue to Obama. What an ass.

[magellan]

15. Obama is too centrist on some issues for my liking. HOWEVER

...one thing I'll definitely give him and his wife Michelle: they shimmer. Together or apart, my eye is drawn to them, their smiles, their spirits.

It's not charisma -- that's superficial, you've either got it or you don't, like good looks. Charisma is what BC had.

I can only define it this way: the Obamas are brimming with the joy of life and good will. It seems sincere, and I hope it is because that's what this country needs more than anything now.

Thank you for sharing these photos!

[tavalon]

25. What you said!

He is too centrist for me and yet, crisis may bring out something else. We'll see.

[BrklynLiberal]

16. It sure looks like all those folks enjoyed hanging out with the Obamas.

[tylerdee]

17. That's what success looks like.

[ann_american2004]

18. I love these pictures

you know what is awesome about those last three pictures? Those town hall people with Obama, posing happily for the camera? They are America.

[Lugnut]

20. Those last three are fantastic!

Senator Obama's warmth is so genuine.

[DrZeeLit]

21. Whoopeee... an Obama Love Fest! Hey.. Cindy...John... you can squeeze in over here... um... Cindy?

John? Cindy? John?

Oh, I guess they had a really really important furball to dislodge from their cat's throat right after the debate.

[Chichiri]

22. That Brokaw pic is just BEGGING to be captioned.

Any ideas?

[Kadie]

29. I just started a caption thread...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x4193685

I am sure DU will come up with some good ones.

:hi:

[Justpat]

23. Michelle is going to be a great first lady. n/t

[tavalon]

24. Did McCain skip out on the class pictures afterward?

[Suprk]

31. Thanks for sharing

I love the ones of Obama with the audience.
