5. It is really good to see two leaders so obviously comfortable in
their own skin, with each other and with people in general.... GWBush*'s obvious insecurities and personal discomfort just made it painful to watch him...

39. Jackeens go back to the town hall about Rapid Trail and do another picture
thread. You will see similar results.


One of the big factors in America's first quarter recovery is that they are going to see that their leaders are relaxed and not panicked.

43. Naw.
I surely expect that if things don't work out with Joe, Obama has Sarah Palin primed to seat in his seat.

Then both Sarah and Obama can "high five" as they cheer "Drill baby, Drill".

Both their smiles convey genuine mirth! Biden's actually smiling - not the Snidely Whiplash grin of Darth Veeper. And Obama's grin isn't the nervous "OH Shit!" snicker of Dippity Dubya.

I thought it was standard policy to never have the President and VP out together in public.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy seeing them together.
