1. This is really something

Standing there, no umbrella, just out there with the people in the rain. No one holding an umbrella over him, just a regular person. That it's more important to be with the people, no matter the weather.

6. Same here.

He has no problem getting close to people.

4. One would think somebody would have given the Obamas an umbrella.

7. It looks less sterile without it.

He's not afraid to get wet.

10. It's as if he has a gut feeling that the family members

are more important than his suit,tie, shoes and the rain and the clouds in the day.

I say again, what would GW have done ~

[goclark]

5. Amazing~ remember the photo of the one tear when his grandma died?

He is not afraid to get wet when he is meeting people that have cried many wet drops for their loved ones.

I can just see GW with a plastic sheet over his head and ten umbrellas with plastic boots and six raincoats.

11. I hope it rains buckets on Beck's 9/12 orgasm tomorrow.

12. Classy

WOW!

[kayakjohnny]

13. Yes, a whole lot of class and dignity.

The man has a great heart. And a sense of humility. And purpose.

14. thanks for posting

he looks totally engaged

contrast that to the props in the dimson's photo ops and remember that one incident where it seemed somebody stole his watch or he lost it?

Obama may be too center for a lot of us but god damn he is at least a real human being.

[Kadie]

16. Oh yes, the watch. That was something.

It is a big, welcome, change to have someone that really cares about individuals for our President.

15. The coach (Obama) takes one for the team (US), a little rain doesn't faze him.
