1. What a bunch of battle hardened terrorists.

Finally Obama will talk directly to his fellow secret Muslims.

On edit: Ok, they're not as secret.

5. Just the fact that they care enough to do this lifts my heart.

I love the change in attitude our president has garnered around the world. I heard a poll the other day that said worldwide Obama is seen as the most trusted leader by something like 50%. The ramifications of what he an accomplish because of that are staggering. Your pics are just one small example of the truth of that poll.

Thank you :)

6. Nice. President Obama's trips abroad are a mini-stimulus plan effect in and of themselves.

7. Apparently real leaders ARE greeted with flowers in the ME.

9. Can you imagine things from their perspective....

.... that the American President is coming for a visit and his name is "Barack Hussein." It's probably even harder to believe than it was for us. (in a good way of course.)
