1. I'll tell ya what. This Obama guy's got the family cow AND the magic beans.

This was smooth as it could be.

Was that Red Schoendienst in the bullpen jitney there?

2. Our President -

smokin'!!!!!!!!

He makes me proud ...................

6. He makes many of us proud

The man puts his pants on one leg at a time like the rest of us, shits behind his heals like we all do. Yep he's one damn fine man, one hell of a President to go with it.

7. He puts himself out there,

takes the challenge, and delivers. And he always does it with grace - even when he trips (just as we all do) - and style.

Mostly, I love having a President with such excellent manners and such respect for others. His Momma did a fine, fine job.

Look at his left hand in this photo, and tell me you don't fall in love with him, just a little bit......................

And, I'm not the only one who falls in love, over and over, when he gets it so right.................

8. And he's a young man......an Hawaii surfer guy......

9. Have you read "Dreams From My Father"?

I highly recommend it - not just as a window into a bit of what made Barack Obama the man he is today, but also as a damn gorgeous bit of writing.

He's got a huge talent as a writer. It's a glorious work. I loved it, and I urge you to read it. It's wonderful, a wonderful journey that you never even dreamed of taking .........

10. No, I haven't read it .......yet!

Look at her face and eyes. She adores him.
He treats her with tenderness and respect.
Toot would approve. :)

12. You haven't hung out wih the right surfers or you'd know n/t

[PearliePoo2]

13. Hey Hoot.....no way was I dissin' on surfers! Gotta love anyone who loves the sea!

Speaking of hoots. Just came in from outside and was listening to a pair "hootin' it up to each other...in stereo. Hooooot......hoot..hoot..hoot. Hoot...hoot ...hoot.

3. If anyone wonders why he had on a big jacket - they make them wear bullet-proof vests to do that

kind of thing.

4. Nice

Sign him with the Cubs.

5. Our president makes me proud. I may not agree with him all the time, but damn, he makes me proud.

At ease with the world's most powerful--and with the cheering throngs of us ordinary folk.

It feels good to be proud of my president again.
