Just a gorgeous family, all-around. :D

[But....]

[dhpgetsit]

5. I think Hillary might agree.

[closeupready]

6. That second photo - YES! That's the one where I think he looks as good as ever!

And by the way, how do we post photos, exactly? I don't understand how that's done.

22. Go to Photobucket and get a free account

http://photobucket.com

then upload the images you want to use. After the images are uploaded you can copy them in four different ways which you see under each image. You click on the one that starts with <IMG...> That copies the image. Then you simply paste it here. As long as you don't delete or move the image in photobucket it will remain in your post.

23. Excellent - thanks!

:hi:

[dhpgetsit]

25. How I added those

Right-click the image and click Properties.
Windows displays a property sheet with information about the photo.
Select and copy the url.
Paste it into the post.

If you use a Mac, ask someone else, I'm clueless.

7. I'll second that

it will be soooo nice to have him to look at instead of that toad that's been squatting in our White House destroying our country for eight years.

[closeupready]

10. So true.

:hi:

[Sebass1271]

8. he def is a handsome HOT MAN!!

:loveya:
WHAT MAKES HIM SO SPECIALLY HOT IS HIS INTELLIGENCE.. he has the whole package... and that SMILE!!
that is a million bucks smile i must say....

[closeupready]

9. "The whole package" - yep, you nailed it.

:loveya:

[zippy890]

12. love those photos with Barack & Hillary

they both look great

:dem:

[DangerDave921]

13. Because looks are what we want in a president

Hey, Sarah Palin is a pretty woman. Qualified? Ummm.

Sorry, I just bristle at these threads. It only feeds the RW talking point that the country's infatuation with Obama is based on his looks, his cool, his attitude, his celebrity, etc.

I asked me nephew why he was voting for Obama and he mentioned his charisma and his aura. Way to wow me with your analysis and acumen. Sorry -- voting for the pretty candidate is just plain silly, no matter what your party affiliation.

[But....]

14. Sorry...

just mixing in some fun with your serious:blush: our bad.

[closeupready]

16. What are you, a nun or something?

shees.

Can we have a little fun once in a while?

[ailsagirl]

18. We sure can!! He's a fox!!

:bounce:

[The Hope Mobile]

19. "voting" that way IS silly but being able to recognize that someone

has a lot going for him in every arena is a different thing

[ailsagirl]

17. He could be a model -- he's very graceful and dignified

I know that's not the most important thing but certainly the icing on the cake!! :loveya:

He's loaded with charisma.

[Critters2]

20. The other thing about these photos that makes me feel good is

how gracious Hillary has been. I have no doubt of her support for her party's nominee. She's been great at rallies for him.

They both make me proud to be a Dem!

Oh, and yeah, I said in a post last week that this is the closest I've ever come to having a crush on a politician.

[lynettebro440]

21. Seen Obama in person

about 30 feet away and he is drop dead gorgeous. and michelle and the kids are beautiful too. they all came to des moines iowa on may 20th, 2008. that was my daughters birthday and we all witnessed history..he is hot...

[FLyellowdog]

24. I lust in my heart for him. Is that a sin?

Too bad.O8) NOT!

[dhpgetsit]

26. LOL

My mom thought John Kerry was extremely handsome in a "rugged, Irish" way.

But yeah, I admire Obama for many reasons. I can't say I "lust in my heart" for him, but if I leaned that way I probably would. No crime or sin in that.
