What a lucky bunch of people.

They just seem such a good team.

Proud of our candidates.

1. Every time I see these now, it's like balm -- GOBAMA. GOBIDEN! nt

5. I dunno, I have a link that shows McCain is MUCH better at a photo-op

He didn't go to the Hurricane for a photo-op either - nu-uh - no way.

6. Good God. McCain looks like he's on some kind of sedative or something.

2. Those guys do so well with all those people..

...it would drive me nuts! They're fine folks but it would drive me bonkers. Tough job but they handle it so well. We've got a knockout ticket this time - VERY proud of them.

[Beaverhausen]

3. very cool. He's so at ease with them

4. OMG, LOL...poor guys...

they were trying to shovel the food in, and people wouldn't leave them be to eat! I know they were all excited, but come on....they need their food people!

10. the one lady seemed to block his plate.

I laughed and told my daughter that these people were pushier than I was. I felt sorry of them trying to eat. By the way was that a frog leg Obama ate when he took the first thing off a plate, or was I just hearing things?

[1corona4u]

11. Yep, It was a frog leg.

Actually, they are delicious. Like chicken, only juicier.

[rebel with a cause]

14. I have heard they are good but I have never ate one.

I have a thing about food that moves when you cook it. My mother, when first married at around 17, went to cook the frog legs that my father and her brother had just caught. When the frog legs hit the grease, they began to jump. My mom threw the pan and all out in the yard and told the men if they wanted those things cooked, they could do it themselves. So we never had frog legs in my house growing up.

Octopus also move when they are cooking. The legs appear to be trying to crawl out of the pan even though it has long been deceased. So I have turned down octopus also when friends served it.

25. Mmmm...frog legs

Tastes like chicken (really!)

[starroute]

13. I kept hearing "artichoke" and "artichoke spinach dip"

I think that must be what sounded like "frog leg."

[rebel with a cause]

16. No that was what they were dipping the chips and other

things in, including maybe the fried frog legs. Barack did better than I would have in that situation. I have a problem with people that get in my space. I can get close to someone but cannot stay for very long in their personal space or have them in mine.

7. Mad...thank you, thank you, thank you.....

I've been in Republican hell all day, and this is just what I needed before turning in. These guys must give the Secret Service a near heart attack everytime they wade into a crowd like this. I envy the folks in the restaurant, and Joe & Barack seem so at ease with the people. I love this ticket!

[madfloridian]

22. It's heartwarming.

[AspenRose]

8. Babies love him.

Babies are also very good judges of character

My gosh, I got exhausted just watching that! How they keep up the pace is beyond me.

[yellowdogintexas]

9. I'm jealous, I tell you jealous. Even with the sound off that was a blast

to watch. They are so relaxed and at ease together


I entertained a moment of fantasy that I am just having lunch in my favorite Mexican dive and in they walk....if only.

Well it could happen, the restaurant is like 2 blocks from the interstate in a quiet little strip center...

oh well we can dream can't we?

[Iwillnevergiveup]

12. Wading into crowds like this

I believe re-energizes Barack. He's wants to hear peoples' stories and they're telling them. Joe Biden is enjoying all this immensely, too - they LIKE people, and it shows.

[rebel with a cause]

18. Members of the working class tend to feel comfortable

with other members of the working class, no matter how high they climb in society. Barack and Joe both have that trait it seems.

[jennied]

15. So incredible!

[SeattleGirl]

17. What I wouldn't give to be in a restaurant and have Obama show up!

And Biden too!

Lucky, lucky people!

19. K & R

[diane in sf]

20. Notice how relaxed the baby looked while Obama was holding her--whenever Boosh

gets near a baby it starts screaming...

[gblady]

21. that was sweet....

I was amazed at how long he held her...and just kept talking with Mom.
Baby totally content to be in those arms...sigh!

[1corona4u]

23. Did you hear what he asked her?

He asked her what they did for healthcare...I didn't hear all of what she said, but I thought it was great that he asked. He wants to know what people are doing for it.

24. This is how we win votes!!! GOBAMA/BIDEN! nt

[bdamomma]

26. I would love to meet the both of them.

looks like they were well received and fed.
