What is it about the President, that allows him to blend in so well, when he's in group pictures with a bunch of little kids?

He's like E.T., it's like he kinda looks like them, but there's something just a little bit different...barely enough to notice. Adorable!

And did you see the pictures today of Ms. Obama getting HATED on by a group of young women being presented with an award? They were showing their hatred with tears, hugs, and big smiles!

I do not dislike Obama.
But we can do better than NSA spying, drone strikes, non-pursuit of wall st criminals,
privatization of public schools, and equivocations over cannabis, among other issues.

I voted for him, but I refuse to close my eyes to whole sad reality
of "Centrist" Democrats.

Love is trust, respect, appreciation. Love is not automatically bestowed upon a person, it must be earned.

There is love in all those pictures, and there is nothing wrong with that. It should be celebrated.

I think we should keep this in mind. It's not that the RW's policies are well-intentioned but ineffective... they specifically say that they want life to be harder for everyone and disastrous for many. We should not forget that.

Although I must admit, I MIGHT not be the only person in the world willing to take a bullet for him.

I think if anyone ever did try to harm him, the crowd might tear such a person limb from limb. The Secret Service could find themselves outmatched. I know a prison sentence would be the last thing on my mind.

President Obama is not perfect, and would be the first to tell us so. With the tea partiers taking over Congressional Republicans, it is no small wonder that he has not accomplished all that he had promised. However, he is our President and was reelected and deserves RESPECT. I voted for him, I like him, and I will continue to defend him against hate mongers. I'll bet none of these people were "pre-screened", as in the disastrous Bush era.

87. GREAT Pictures... BUT I Do See One Problem Here
Sun Mar 9, 2014, 02:47 PM
Mar 2014

Most of the pictures shows "younger" voters and I'm not so sure they will be enthused enough to vote in off-year elections. The Democratic Party doesn't seem to have a strategy in place, or one that I know of, that will get them motivated!

Then of course you have to deal with demographics. South versus North, rural versus urban, etc. Then there's another HUGE problem I see too. From everything I've been hearing the Democratic Party isn't going to focus on the mid-terms very much, just trying to get people to donate money for 2016!

Not much time until the elections will be here for 2014, and I live in Florida and I'm not hearing very good things about changing the House in any way. Losing the Senate on top of not winning the House sure doesn't seem like much work is going to get done.

Repukes picking up more Senate seats & keeping the House will only make Repukes more OBSTINATE! And OBNOXIOUS!
JMHO
