1. Thank You Jackeens! I'm proud of my president! n/t

[robo50]

6. ditto... I think we need a separate forum just for Jackeens' pics

[busybl]

43. + 1

it'll make them easier to find

[roguevalley]

10. David Axelrod looks like a father. He saw Obama's promise first.

must be an awesome moment.

[phoenixriz]

17. Now I know why Malia kept wearing the Peace t-shirt and carrying the Peace bag

This is wonderful. In a way it is saying that the US has an adult in the WH now who doesn't have his fingers on the Nuclear Button.

Love Tutu. Thanks Jackeens. You are a winner.

[Bear down under]

51. Better than that

Any American President "has his fingers on the nuclear button". You now have one committed not to pressing it; and, moreover, to working towards that day when there will be no nuclear buttons any more.

I don't.

How des Jackeens get such great photographs?

[busybl]

45. I've been wondering that myself.

[WatchWhatISay]

see photo #21

[jkshaw]

13. Thank you once more Jackeens!

And, yes, WatchWhatISay, he does have gorgeous teeth!

[HopeOverFear]

14. He has such a goofy grin sometimes

lol but it's endearing.

[Empowerer]

15. I LOVE the photo of Bishop Tutu!

Obviously, the previous Nobel Laureates don't seem to believe that the newest member of the club has diminished the meaning of the prize.

But I DO wish the photographer wouldn't take pictures of the President when he's talking to me on the phone (#7) - our conversations are supposed to be private . . .

[GreenPartyVoter]

21. Yes, the Archbishop's joy was a delight to see. :^)

[Cali_Democrat]

16. Big Rec!

Thank you, Jackeens~

[nolabear]

22. Imagine. While many of us were arguing and snapping

at one another over whether he should have or shouldn't have and who's an idiot for feeling differently from us and how the media is either too liberal or too conservative and how he hasn't done what we want when we want and whether Rush-Bleeding-LIMBAUGH should own men or judge women, he and many, many others are working for a more peaceful, healthier, happier world. I think I need to go out and do something for somebody.

Thak you, Jackeens. A picture is indeed worth, well, you know.

[Bette Noir]

23. What a guy.

[Phx_Dem]

25. I'm just thrilled to death. What a great day.

[politicasista]

26. Congratulations, Mr. President!

Yes We Still Can! :patriot:


P.S. Thanks for the pics. :kick:

[Clio the Leo]

27. He KILLS me bounding down the steps....

... he's gonna fall and break his neck one day.

(I'm just jealous, I have a bit of a stair phobia lol)

[tomm2thumbs]

28. I can't even imagine these with anyone else in them - our Prez is the man!

and he's all ours - we be so lucky!

[fortyfeetunder]

29. This brought me to tears, Jackeens...

I can't imagine the emotions the President has over this, but if I were him, I'd go somewhere and cry!

[vaberella]

30. 9-11, 18-21---I love my President. Thanks Jackeens. n/t

[mzmolly]

31. It's wonderful that the rest of the world appreciates our new, sane President

as much as we do.

[onehandle]

32. Obama > Bush.

All of the Bushes put together throughout history including their Nazi-dealing grandfather aren't worth wiping his ass.

[BlueMTexpat]

36. Thank you so much for your uplifting picture threads, Jackeens!

I am so proud of our President! And what an inspiration for all of our young people!

What a shame that his parents and grandparents, especially his mother and grandmother who were both very important in his life, are not here to share this great honor with him! But I have to believe that they are all together now and applauding his efforts from a Better Place.

:yourock: :applause:

[voc]

37. Thank you so much

These photos show hope. Not only does he deserve it he has shown that peace is possible to the world.

[Historic NY]

38. TY again.

[TankLV]

39. Thank you, thank you, thank you - again! I am sooo PROUD of MY President...!!!

Great photos!

[Jennicut]

41. He looked like he was pondering so many things in the oval office

He is such an adult..who can smile and laugh too.

[busybl]

42. great pics

if you all could hark back to how we felt when he was elected, it's easy to see why he won this.
The whole world together felt the the moment. Pride, happiness and hope. I pictured people in other countries saying
those Americans, you never know what they'll do. Loved him then, love him still.

[NYC_SKP]

46. Being on "his team", I feel that this prize is a prize for all of us.

Thank you, Jackeens!
