Who was the guy standing behind Obama (to his left, our right) with the close cropped white hair?

[gateley]

I think he's a Senator or Congressman, but I can't place him.

[msongs]

1. FEMA director? nt

[Saturday]

2. No, the FEMA director is an older guy. nt

[Rosco T.]

3. for a minute I thought it was J.Peterman

(aka. John O'Hurley)

[DisgustipatedinCA]

6. I suddenly have the urge to eat a Snicker's bar with a knife and fork, and I don't know why n/t

[jsmirman]

24. Wasn't that Mr. Pitt?

God, the "memories" roll they did on Mr. Pitt when Elaine got fired was hilarious.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

25. Oops. Yes, it was Mr. Pitt.

I guess that leaves me without much of a point in this thread. Still, thanks for the correction.

[jsmirman]

27. Here's 28 seconds of hilarity

[sammytko]

26. wow - was just thinking that Bloomberg kind of looks like Mr. Pitt! n/t

[michaelslomo]

28. "Wasn't that Mr. Pitt?"

I didn't know Will Pitt was at the Obama rally. And I didn't know Will had close-cropped white hair.

[gateley]

8. Yeah, that's the one I'm talking about. Didn't he look familiar to you (once you

realized it wasn't Peterman )?

[OneGrassRoot]

19. LOL! Me, too. ;) n/t

[DURHAM D]

4. I think it might be the mayor of the town.

His jacket said "City of B...."

[dipsydoodle]

5. Errol

Incase your President wanted a cup of tea. He normally works for Brick Top so is used to the request.

Looks like Tony Soprano over his right shoulder.

[Indpndnt]

7. I thought he was a local official. His pullover seemed to have 'City of Brigantine' stitched into it

He gave the best, nonverbal responses to everything the President was saying! He looked very impressed and heartily shook his hand at the end.

[gateley]

11. Yeah, I was thinking he was a Republican I didn't like, so was surprised at the hearty

handshake. Then I thought maybe he wasn't who I was thinking of. Hmmmm.... Wonder which Republican I confused him with?

[Indpndnt]

17. And he kept glancing over in wonder at the other white-haired gentleman on our left.

That man's smile got bigger and bigger throughout the President's speech! They sure had the two perfect bookends on that screen. They looked very impressed and happy with the plans to cleanup and rebuild with support from the state and federal govt.

[slackmaster]

9. Steve Reeves?

[grantcart]

10. that is 'undercover' Cliffordu.

[gateley]

12. D'oh! I should have SEEN that!

[cliffordu]

20. I am not now standing nor

have I EVER stood behind anyone "just to the right"

This is all psyops, I say, propaganda!!!!

[gateley]

21. Like I wasn't expecting a denial from you, cliffordu.

Soooo predictable.

[cliffordu]

23. Feh.

Pthhhhhhh

Fafafafafafafalalala

Blarg, falala I can't hear you!!!!!

What canned goods?..

[ladjf]

13. If you mean the extreme right in a light colored rain coat, it was Sen. Lautenburg. nt

[gateley]

14. I WAS THINKING OF (that prick) JOHN ENSIGN!!!

[NNN0LHI]

15. Was he wearing a light colored trench coat and he looked like a mobster?

[gateley]

16. No -- I think he's been id'd as a mayor of a NJ town. I was confusing him with John Ensign.

[justiceischeap]

18. Philip J. Guenther, Mayor

[gateley]

22. That's the guy!
