There's no doubt in my mind those two men share a mutual respect for each other and for human decency.

1. So glad Justin has Obama to lean on. So glad Obama is planning to be an

activist ex president.

[Alice11111]

42. He's trying to keep the country from permanently going to hell is my guess.

because it would be more his nature to play br the unwritten rules.

[YCHDT]

2. Sigh ... the smart people picture ... sigh ... jus gotta stair at for a while

[bdamomma]

3. Two great minds together

that's diplomacy right there. Nice picture.

[babylonsister]

4. Tonight. I love this.

I REALLY love this. President Obama's counsel can't hurt. This is unchartered territory.

[Barack_America]

5. Whoa. I think I just swooned there a bit.

What are they drinking? I suddenly feel a bit "thirsty".

Who's the 3rd menu for? Was Macron in the toilette?

[world wide wally]

17. Looks like they finished that round of wine

[xxqqqzme]

41. First thing that caught my

eye is the glass of bourbon. Then the wine glasses. Nice evening

[nycbos]

26. Trudeau's wife maybe?

[lunatica]

33. There are actually four menus there

Obama's is on his left, so the other two menus must be for the wives.

[ailsagirl]

49. .....

[GallopingGhost]

6. Unsolicited caption

Trudeau is saying,

"What were you thinking, moving out of the White House and letting that guy in? You should have changed the locks!"

[boston bean]

7. Justin Trudeau is mh heart throb

[SunSeeker]

8. Dayum.

[Brainstormy]

9. hot. seriously.

know I should have something more serious and intellectual to say, but those two . . .

[3catwoman3]

21. Those two men are seriously hot...

...and seriously intellectual, so I think you stated it perfectly, and with admirable efficiency.

[sarge43]

30. Hot, scary smart and ... decent.

Yes.indeed.

[Alice11111]

43. Yes! I would just die when I saw Obama dancing w Michelle,

and his expression.

[Nwgirl503]

10. Fangirl sigh.....

[Doreen]

11. Oh hot damn!!! Eye candy.

Intelligence together. Yumm yumm. I want me some...Uhmm...I am going to go take a very cold shower.

[MontanaMama]

12. I feel calmer just looking

at these two. Remember what it was like to wake up and not have a freaking panic attack about what fresh hell had been unleashed while you fitfully slept during the night? Hey Twitter people!! Tweet this pic to FF45!!!! Send him over the edge. Your country needs you.

[blue-wave]

13. Beautiful Pic

and judging by the comments, President Obama received an enthusiastic welcome in Canada. They love him there.

Raging tweets from the current White House at 3 am.

[Tetunot]

14. Four Menus Only Two Seated...

The other two menus are for the M&M's Merkel & Macron. I'm good w/that.

[Cha]

15. Why Yes I do.. Mahalo, LonePirate!

[smirkymonkey]

32. Oh, what I wouldn't give to have an intelligent, decent, handsome, statesman-like

man back in the White House again!

Just look at these two hunks and compare them to the disgusting republicans - what a contrast!

[Cha]

46. Here's to getting rid of the uglyl republicons

sooner than later.. so our beautiful Dems can show the world how it's done.

[Grammy23]

16. Quick! Hide this so tRump doesn't see it.

He might blow a gasket at seeing it. Oh, never mind. Let's have it made into a poster and hang it up in the tRump family dining room. Or better--- in his bathroom. (Ain't I the naughty one, says Bugs Bunny?) Maybe tRump will go on another Twitter rampage. Heh, heh, heh.... he is such a jealous heart.

[Upthevibe]

19. It's calming just to see them.Please let me wake up and let this all have been a horrible

nightmare....

[herding cats]

18. Two good people who care about the world and our futures.

This gives me a small bit of hope.

[Lucinda]

20. Love it.

[Justice]

22. Wish their time in office had overlapped more

[Saviolo]

23. Somehow every picture of them looks like a GQ photoshoot

And I'll never not paste this picture of them and Nieto:




Fantastic. You can feel genuine mutual respect and camaraderie.

[erronis]

37. That is how leaders should look. Not like our current orange slime-mold.

Didn't mean to insult slime-molds!

Why is it that despots around the world are fat, greedy, stupid bastards?

Oh, it's because those bastards are the only ones who want to be despots.

And the USofA has one.

[Saviolo]

38. So frustrating...

Especially after that friendly, goofy handshake they all did together:




I just can't imagine one of the roughly grabbing and shoving anyone out of the way for a photo op, or even doing that gross "alpha-male" handshake that is Trump's favourite.

[erronis]

39. Love that second picture. Real people, caring about their countries and the world. Thx!

[AngryAmish]

24. joy

[NastyRiffraff]

25. Lovely

Two smart, good looking guys. Love them both!

[ailsagirl]

50. Love those guys!!!

[get the red out]

27. I am shallow

They are both so good-looking!

[Alice11111]

44. Really, shallow or not.

[NastyRiffraff]

51. Then I am too

Both of them are seriously hot! Yum.

[tallahasseedem]

28. I need a poster of this...

To stare at while the world burns...

[Scurrilous]

29. K&R

[Gothmog]

31. I miss having a real POTUS

[Amaryllis]

34. Do you think they talked about how to handle Trump?

Yeah, I know O is limited in what he can say to foreign heads of state, but still...I would think it would be very helpful for them both to have a kindred spirit to talk it over with.

[lunatica]

35. Thank you!!

I really needed that!

[treestar]

36. Wonder what they are talking about

Obama is the one listening in that shot.

[Alice11111]

45. Well, we know it isn't golf or their sex lives or grabbing ass

It's the world. Politics, w a few DT jokes, I assume

[treestar]

48. So true. I'd love to hear they DT jokes

Might also be about their kids!

[Alice11111]

58. Yeah, I thought that. I wish I could here the DT conversation.

I talk w friends about my kids. Barack is breaking w tradition to try to mitigate some of the damage to our reputation.

[Soxfan58]

40. There is too much cool in that pic.

[bucolic_frolic]

47. If these two guys can't fix it

nobody can.

[BigmanPigman]

52. It reminds me of other photos with the Pope and with Merkel.

Relaxed, sincere, NORMAL! I miss "normal".

[Caliman73]

53. Awesome picture.

There is so much to read into that shot. Two younger men in powerful positions, looking so relaxed and casual. The eye contact and mannerisms show a confidence and mutual respect in both, like they are buddies, but also has an air of seriousness.

Whatever concerns I had with some of President Obama's policies, I always had a strong sense that he really cared about the welfare of all of the citizens he was working for and in general for all of the people on the planet. I get that same vibe from Trudeau.

Now, and I know this is biased, when you compare something like this photo, with anything taken with Trump in it, you can tell how fake and forced everything is with Trump. He has utter disdain for everyone but himself. There is never any joy in Trump's face, never any real emotion, just always a contempt and fear.

[annarbor]

54. Love these men!!!

N/T

[trentwestcott]

55. SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

[Tarheel_Dem]

56. I don't know how to post this video, but the restaurant staff and fans outside were thrilled.
