2. He truly is a President of the people, even if it gives the Secret Service migraines.

14. The look on the face of the agent in the lavender tie, first shot, says it all.

6. FOX NEWS: Obama Having Fun. Does this mean he's a communist Nazi Muslim?

 

They'll find some way to trash him for this. The kids had the opportunity of a lifetime. We don't live in a "Forrest Gump" world where "and I went to meet the president - again."

Everyone enjoyed that, even the SS agents.

11. I'm sure or last president would have told them to pull over too.

You know, in a fast manner, followed by quick acceleration and swerving to splash them all.

12. Well...

Considering this was the guy who insisted that wooden walkways be constructed so he wouldn't get his shoes dirty, I couldn't see him stopping to visit with the unwashed masses AND get wet.

15. no, he wouldn't

He would just have his car do a quick swerve to splash them all and laugh as he rides away, dry.

13. Is that a new watch?

He typically wears a Jorg Gray that was a gift from his Secret Service detail, as his dress watch. Other than that, he has a Tag Heuer that was a law school graduation gift.

The watch he's wearing in these photos is one I haven't seen before.

18. Isn't it awful the way people just can't stand Obama!
