Bill Clinton came to my office and I got the pics to prove it

[hadrons]

We couldn't take any of him in the office (business visit), but outside was OK so I grabbed a crappy $10.00 throwaway camera and snap these pics (I'll post a few of the better ones and links to the others underneath because I don't want to max out the bandwidth)

[aintitfunny]

1. Look at all those smiling faces - so happy to see him! (n/t)

[Tight_rope]

83. Bill Clinton "US PRESIDENT FOR LIFE" n/t

[Lars39]

2. Good pics! Look at the smiles on those faces!

:)

[hadrons]

[madmax]

5. Great pics!!! Hellooooo Big Dog! n/t

[Wickerman]

7. wow

those are great - a good 10$ investment.

Thanks for posting.

[RebelOne]

13. Link is not showing up for me.

[coltman]

17. Thank you for sharing

Smiles that do the body good

[FlaGranny]

4. Wow, look at all the smiling faces.

Your pictures made me smile, too.

[Killarney]

6. Seething with jealousy!

I wish I was there!

[mopaul]

8. wow!...that gave me a thrill....thanks for sharing.........n/t

[jean]

9. You can feel his energy and the crowd's joy throught these great pics!!

[Vickers]

10. God, he's sooooooo unpopular!

/sarcasm

Cool pix! I too am jealous.

[ronnykmarshall]

11. Great pics!

That $10 camera really captured it well.

Look at all the people. All the smiles!

Must piss freepers off to see this.

[demnan]

12. Bill Clinton - the people's President

Always reaching out and needing that contact with people. That's what makes Clinton so special.

Good pictures - you captured a moment in history.

[Don_G]

14. Not One Frown In The Crowd

God how I wish we had a President again!

[booksenkatz]

15. Shrubby can't do that

... go among crowds that are not handpicked, right there on the street. And even if he did, there wouldn't be all of those wistful smiles (and horny girls edging over to get a pic taken with him).

I didn't like every single thing Bill did, but man, he was the best president in my lifetime and I miss the holy hell out of him. He could speak intelligently about just about anything, without notecards or scripts or earpieces!

Thanks for posting these pics, it felt like I was there!

[frank frankly]

16. what part of manhattan? great pics!

wow, does he look tremendous!!!

[DemOverseas]

20. Yes

He does look good. He just needs a haircut.

[Love Bug]

23. Bwahaha! Yes he does!

My first thought looking at those--"Boy, he sure has some big hair!" Looks like Ann Richards' hair! LOL

Actually, he looks really good. I'm looking forward to reading his book!

[Spazito]

18. Wow, those are awesome, Thanks!

bush can't go within 10 miles of the US public because he is despised and Clinton can wade in and the public loves him. Canada loves Clinton and despises bush.

[lanparty]

19. Eat that Bush ...

Just remember, if Bill Clinton COULD run for President again, he would WOOP your ass!!!!!

[Catherine Vincent]

21. Those are GREAT pics! The big dog is looking GOOD!

You lucky dog! Do you know what was the occasion for the visit?

[Suziq]

22. Magnificent!

Seeing these great pictures of Big Dog just makes me all teary-eyed!

Where exactly in the city were these taken?

:hippie:

[emc]

38. Brings back good memories

I stated to cry when I saw the pictures----this was a President

[cmf]

24. Look at that crowd

He still attracts throngs of smiling faces. I don't think Chimpy will ever see anything like that.

[Ripley]

25. HAH! Chimp never steps out of a building without

facing HORDES, THRONGS and BATTALLIONS of angry Americans holding up signs and frowning.

Yet, he can't see them because he is surrounded and shuttled to and fro like cloaked in SS officers protecting him from the HIGHLY possible bullet. (That was not a threat, just an observation of the hysterical overkill of security used around this bastard. In fact, I saw the Weather channel, THE WEATHER CHANNEL!!! explain how people should STAY AWAY from travel near Sea Island GA, because of G8.) Ack.

[Merlin]

26. How on earth DOES he do it???

This guy can be exausted, maxed out, sleepless, no matter. He always takes the time to go through the crowd -- the WHOLE crowd -- to shake every outstretched hand and look every well wisher in the eye; to offer a few kind words and a smile. What an incredible human being!

[AP]

27. There will never be a crowd like that for Bush.

[progressivebydesign]

33. Bush has crowds like that...

ONLY when they are hand-picked by Karl Rove's minions. The last time Bush was allowed out amongst the people without a handler, he uttered the infamous "who cares what YOU think?" to someone that criticized him. Bush has never set foot out in a non-hand-picked crowd since.

[Pepperbelly]

49. not quite altho I cannot argue with what you wrote ... instead ...

the crowds Bonehead generates spontaneously tend to be waving signs and shouting.

:D

[Raster]

62. gee-dubya has crowds, they're just held back in "Free Speech Zones"...

...and they're certainly not smiling and wishing him well. gee-dubya's handlers would NEVER let him get close to a crowd that wasn't handpicked by rove or some other handler.

[Catherine Vincent]

28. I was about to post that I do see 1 lady not smiling in the crowds,

but then I realized she was a SS agent! The big dog has a female SS agent. How cool is that! Also do you notice one of the SS agents (the one with the glasses) is smiling in quite a few of those pics. I thought they were trained to look serious all the time.

And the last 2 pics you can see the crowds still smiling and talking. Clinton's presence leaves them with smiles galore.

[ACK]

29. I should dislike Clinton as a Progressive but I cannot help but

Like the man and admire him. It was not all roses but I would trade all the idealism I have for eight years of relative peace and prosperity right now.

[hadrons]

30. The pics were taken last Friday near Union Square area ....

its 5th ave near the lower midtown-Chelsea-Village area ... he's a really big guy (surprised by that) and his hair is really white (like someone said Ann Richards white) and he could use a little sun

but he was super friendly, he just walked to the crowds, smiling and shaking hands and the crowd was freeper-free

[Catherine Vincent]

31. Freeper-free! LOL! I like that.

Yes, his hair is almost too white and his skin may need some sun but he still looks good in my book.

Thanks for the pics. Made my day, no...my week, heck the month!

[justjones]

55. I betcha some freepers WERE there....

they just couldn't resist Clinton's charm...no one can ;-)!

Freepers secretly want to BE Clinton or are in love with him, both the Freeper women and men, that's what feuls their passionate hate.

The thin line between love and hate, penis-envy, whatever you want to call it, they just need to admit it....Clinton is THE MAN!!

[newyawker99]

32. Great pics!! Thanks for sharing them with us!

:thumbsup:

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

34. Thank you

My daughter and I hope to see him on his book tour, (we met Hillary on her tour last summer). I'm sure we'll be grinning like the crowd if we have that opportunity. Thanks again for a day brightening moment! MKJ

[myrna minx]

35. This needs a kick.

Thanks for bring a smile to my face. :hi:

[kodi]

36. boy if those pix don't make you want to repeal the 22nd amendment!

.

[AspenRose]

37. Wow.

Makes you happy and sad at the same time.

Sad because I wish we (collectively, as a country) could be as happy as the folks in the crowd were.

[PaDUer]

39. Link to others?

Thanks for posting these pix, they're awesome! Would you please post the link to any others you have?

Clinton IS so loved and brilliant. How I wish he could run for president again since we have an imposter in the WH.

[in_cog_ni_to]

40. <sigh> I miss him.

LOOK at how HAPPY everyone is to see him! Look at that crowd! He must REALLY piss off the idiot-in-chief with being so loved and admired everywhere he goes. The chimp is hated...everywhere HE goes. Thanks for posting these...they're GREAT!

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

41. Screw bandwidth! Can you make them even bigger?

Good on ya, Hadrons...thanks for sharing them.

[Gin]

42. U-Go Hadrons......these are great pics..I felt like I was there...Bill

Clinton won't you please come home? You are missed.

[John_H]

43. Media: Reagan loved. Clinton Reviled. Shyeah. Right.

[sadiesworld]

44. Having a moment of euphoric recall here!

Thanks for sharing...
:hi:

[AspenRose]

45. Afternoon kick

:kick:

[kimchi]

46. Exactly what I needed: thanks for making my day!

Oddly enough, I dreamed last night that I went to a book signing, and got a picture of him with my daughter. Please, Goddess, let it be so someday!

I miss him, too. A lot.

Look at all those people who hate him! (snarf)

[Lisa]

47. for a $10 camera ... those are AMAZING pics

You are some photographer, hadrons! Awesome!

[Mandate My Ass]

48. Lucky dog meets Big Dog

Thanks for sharing your pics. It sure does seem like he
genuinely likes people and that the feeling is mutual.

[Catherine Vincent]

50. Let's give this a kick for the evening crowd!

Looking good, Bill, looking good!

[MusicTVstar]

51. great pictures

:) thanks for sharing

[VOX]

52. Absolutely terrific pics!!! Big Dog has left the building!

That's what a **real** president looks like! Excellent job -- good heads-up work with the camera.

Thanks, and congrats! :toast:

[CoonDawg]

73. He is, without a doubt...

A FREAKIN' ROCK STAR! I love how people still line up to see him. I did notice he was awfully close to that young brunette in a few of the shots...:evilgrin:

[lancdem]

88. In the one photo, she's dialing her cell phone

"Oh my God, Bill Clinton is standing right here!"

[PretzelWarrior]

53. what city is that?

just curious. I don't know if he'll be in Portland.

[ikojo]

54. So many happy smiling people.

The Big Dog still knows how to work a crowd. Somehow I doubt that * works a crowd like this. These people appear to be GENUINELY happy about being in the Big Dog's presence. They don't appear to be paid stand ins who so often appear at pug gatherings.

Is this in Chicago?

[Catherine Vincent]

56. I believe in NYC. Check post #30.

[patrice]

57. The faces in the crowd really are remarkable to see.

Thanks for sharing this happy experience!

[mountainvue]

58. I miss him!

Look how happy he makes people. He looks great!

[Carolina]

59. can we rewind the clock

and go back to the Clinton years. Gosh, the Big Dog is just the best. Thanks for this post; seeing Bill looking so good and sensing the glee of the crowd just made my day.

I have been nonstop cussin' and fussin' about Reagan, both Bushes, freepers, etc ... but with my boy Bill, the four-letter words are gone and equanimity returns.

[WLKjr]

60. Bill Clinton is a Damn ROCKSTAR!

just look at the crowd, they can't get enough of the guy! lol I wish I could have shaked that man's hand, I want to get his book when it comes out and get it autographed by him. Any one know how I could do this, PM me and let me know it would be deeply appreciated.

[left is right]

61. This is what a real 1st Amendment zone should look like

Bush always makes it seem like it is the SS that requires any gathering crowd to be miles away from the action. Clinton would be real unhappy if he couldn't meet the crowds and shakehands/hug and be hugged.

[dmr]

63. Look at all those truly happy faces!

They are showing real emotion. How exciting for you, I'm jealous! :)

He's looking good too. I just want to get in there and hug him to pieces.

Thank you for posting them, they put a great big smile on my face!

[Garcia]

64. Duuuuude! I'm SO JEALOUS

Clinton was my fave president. If only he could run again.

[SiouxJ]

65. Now there's a PRESIDENT!

Gawd I miss him!

Great shots! Thanks for sharing!

[BlueStateGirl]

66. Go Bill! Look at the smiles on those faces. They know a real

president when they see one.

[xxqqqzme]

67. why do SS have an

arm or hand on the back of the protectee? I have seen a couple of prezs in person and a hand is always in center back when in crowds.

[KC21304]

68. Probably so they can quickly shove the President down

or out of the way if they see a threatening person in the crowd.

[Oddman]

69. Fantastic!!

Thanks for sharing!

[Speck Tater]

70. It's just disgraceful

the sloppy way the people in that crowd are dressed. Don't they know how to show respect for an ex-president? ;)

</sarcasm>

[Bake]

71. Great pics! I wish the Big Dog would come to Jackson MS!

He was here last year to speak at Tougaloo College's commencement, but I wish he'd come for a general public appearance! I'd love to shake the hand of the last REAL President we've had!

Look at the faces in that crowd. Look at the Big Man!! He just looks better and better every day. Aging quite gracefully!

Bake

[Catherine Vincent]

72. I just love those pics!

What makes them so lovely is not just Clinton, but the crowd's smiling faces!

[Zookeeper]

74. Wow! Thanks, Hadrons.....

Great pictures, and I loved seeing them in sequence.

Looking at Clinton's face must have lowered my blood pressure. I had a moment of peace and nostalgia for my pre-Bushwah, pre-Iraq II, pre-impending draft, pre-Patriot Act, pre-31-kids-in-a-third-grade-classroom, pre-Enron life.

[Taverner]

75. WOOF WOOF!!!

Good to see the Big Dog again!

[WI_DEM]

76. good luck with the chimp getting those many happy smiling people

after he leaves office--or even before.

[Steely_Dan]

77. THIS GUY CAN'T TAKE A BAD PICTURE!

HE LOOKS GREAT IN ALMOST EVERY SHOT.

-P

[Steely_Dan]

78. THIS GUY CAN'T TAKE A BAD PICTURE!

HE LOOKS GREAT IN ALMOST EVERY SHOT.

80. What a beautiful man....thanx for sharing the pix -eom-

[newsguyatl]

81. that handsome devil

[Tight_rope]

82. Yup! That's him! Looking good too! n/t

[Catherine Vincent]

84. Oh I just love Clinton!

Big nose and all!:-)

[lancdem]

89. LOL!

[Tight_rope]

85. Send those pic's to every news media! Tellum we want him back!

[Catherine Vincent]

86. My daily a.m. kick for Clinton!

[arwalden]

87. Thank You For Sharing Those Photos!!!

[redqueen]

90. Thanks so much for sharing those

I didn't agree with many of his policies in office, and was upset about his conduct, but I gotta admit...

It's been a long while (almost four years, actually) since I felt even a shred of pride in connection with the office of POTUS.

Thanks for reminding me what that feels like. :)

:kick:

[redqueen]

91. Just 'cause

:kick:

[Kilroy003]

92. Is your office at the Gap?
