[trotsky]

4. Love the one of him cleaning up after himself in the ice cream shop.

Yet somehow the Repukes thought they could tag him with the "elitist" label? LOL

[rebel with a cause]

20. I cracked up at this photo.

I just read an article today that said that he couldn't stand ice cream since his first job of working at Baskin Robins. Seems he could stand it enough to eat a good size cone of it. :7

He supposedly hated wearing the pink polo and brown apron and hat. Imagine a teenage boy hating that outfit. ;)

30. that photo reminds me of my dad, he did the same thing.

This man in the White House would get my full respect

[lunatica]

5. I love this photo!

[Tesibria]

[lunatica]

7. Here he talks to a Gold Star mom

[eppur_se_muova]

41. Contrasts so nicely w/Bu**sh**'s treatment of veterans and survivors ...

remember that crack about "don't sell it on eBay" ?

[lunatica]

8. He wore holes in his soles for the second time

[Kaleko]

9. That brought tears to my eyes.

Thanks for posting. Great find.

10. A rare moment for Michelle and Obama after campaigning separately for a week

[flygal]

38. that's my favorite image

[ColbertWatcher]

11. And keep clicking it! Great stuff, thank you! n/t

[ACTION BASTARD]

15. The shoe one is powerful.

Stick that in Palin's face.

[ColbertWatcher]

22. They're all really great photographs. I liked the one with Michelle in the diner.

And the one where he cleaned up his own damn mess in the other diner!

After having run, owned and worked in restaurants for 6,000 years, this photo speaks to me.

LOL!

[tilsammans]

35. Ditto, from this former restaurant worker

Yes, that pic speaks volumes about the man.

:dem:

[annabanana]

12. What a GREAT collection!..

The man just doesn't take a bad picture . . . .never seen a single one.

[Joe Chi Minh]

13. Wow! What fabulous photos. That is some photographer. Quite moving

some of those photos. I got the feeling those bodyguards would take more than a few shots for him, too.

[lunatica]

14. Michelle makes sure he's presentable just before he announces his candidacy in Springfield, IL

[Vektor]

16. Obama has such a great smile.

It just really lights up a room.

21. Biden - close second

[lunatica]

23. Yeah! Biden's smile is great!

[Vektor]

29. Oh yes, agreed.

Our candidates are dapper for sure!

[rebel with a cause]

25. His chuckle makes you smile inside.

I loved having him come here before. I look back on it with real nostalgia.

[lunatica]

17. Catching a quick nap on the campaign bus somewhere in the US

[143tbone]

18. Wow. Thanks so much for posting. n/t

[NightWatcher]

19. thanks for the link. Damn he's so "human"

[rebel with a cause]

24. The second picture looks like a rest stop here in SI

which is north from here, but who knows, much of Illinois looks similar along highway #57. A lot of flat farm land here. The middle of the state is the flattest, we have some small hills the further south you get.

One time traveling through Pennsylvania, I asked the name of the mountains we were traveling through. The gas attendant laughed and told me that those were hills not mountains. True story, and it tells you what we consider hills. Our hills are mere bumps in the road to those from other places.

26. Kicking for the evening crowd

[WillieW]

27. Thanks for sharing. Wonderful photos, thank you

I loved the one where Obama is comforting a mother who had lost her son in Iraq. Very touching. He showed true emotions. God I love that man.

[malaise]

28. Fabulous

The children are amazing as well - just watching them watch Obama brings tears to my eyes.

[BrklynLiberal]

[Mnemosyne]

33. The one with the moist tear track down her cheek...

Thanks for sharing! :hi:

[NYC Liberal]

34. I love all of them, but I just laughed at this one in particular:

Two staffers had just passed this site and done two pull-ups. Not to be outdone, Obama did three with ease, dropped and walked out to make a speech. Missoula, Mont., 4/5/2008.

[snot]

36. i hope so much

he can live up to even half of my hopes. not even in terms of accomplishment: i'd be so happy if just in effort.

[Hekate]

37. Wow. Thanks for this. nt

[Justice]

39. Thank you. Tremendous. I love that each photo sets the scene.

[barbtries]

43. Thank you for posting

I cried when I saw quite a few of them and I still have goose bumps. It's hard to believe I have lived to see another (soon to be) president that inspires and brings out the best in all of us.

[AzDar]
