4. Love seeing him all up in it. It's important for the Gulf to know he's there for them.

5. Sure. Obama is a good looking sociable human being. But

he still working for the corporations and the elite. They are his bosses.

13. I don't know...the guy in the first photo with the shades, far left looks pretty intense

14. Omigod! Look at

those angry crowds, that aloof and distant President! (We really, really need an irony glyph)

Actually, I like it that it many of the pics the Secret Service guys aren't particularly visible.

15. Did he eat anything this time I mean after all Drudge had such a

hissy fit that he sat down to eat with the people. I guess Bush didn't because he didn't want to get dirty. Remember shaking hands and wiping his on Clinton's shirt. In that action you see the "I know I'm better than any other person" mentality. And it showed. That's why most people don't care for him.

16. This is such a radical departure

from the way George H.W. Bush interacted with Alaskans during the EXXON VALDEZ spill. HE NEVER SHOWED UP!

[maxsolomon]

23. to be fair, there aren't many alaskans to interact with

valdez isn't the gulf coast in terms of populace

[Blue_In_AK]

24. Of course.

But the Prince William Sound fishermen and villagers were no less impacted. Alaskans are Americans, too.

[maxsolomon]

25. you are, my cousing is, and all my friends in Juneau and Anchorage are

but sarah palin is questionable!

[Blue_In_AK]

26. You have a point there.

[GeorgeGist]

17. Thanks for the distraction ...

for a moment there I forgot to notice that the people weren't angry.

on edit: There's always hope he'll do better next time.

[Liberal_in_LA]

[daggahead]

[Scurrilous]
