1. Damn he's one cool mutha

[skater314159]

51. Shet yo' mouth! nt

[FrenchieCat]

2. Gonna be one heck of a President!

:patriot:

[Georgie_92]

3. Sure will be!

[wileedog]

4. Powerful image

[Cha]

8. So Powerful!

Potent.

[me b zola]

50. Love them all...

...but that one, by far, is my favorite. :thumbsup:

[Samantha]

58. I wanted to cry when I saw that photo

It is simply beautiful, and it speaks for itself.

Perhaps it is my age that makes me think the following, and those here younger would not agree, but in my lifetime, I never expected to see this Country make the progress it has obviously made since the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. Yes, we have a distance to go. Yes, not everyone here has traveled as far. But, as I said, in my lifetime I never expected to see this much progress as this photo has captured. I am thrilled that this young man can look up to Barack Obama and think to himself, I shake the hand of the next President of the United States.

[ariesgem]

66. That one is my favorite. nt

[LiberalAndProud]

70. Breathtaking.

[silverweb]

72. That's my favorite.

A perfect picture ... the lighting, his expression and his hand on the boy's head -- above all, the look on that young fella's face.

I want to see that young man again in 10 years. There's no doubt in my mind that this moment will have made a difference in his life's course.

Barack Obama is an awesome new role model for young people, who sorely need one.

May he never weaken on his chosen path.

May he never fail.


GObama! GObama!

[Cha]

5. Obama's young supporter is all dressed

up to meet the future President of the United States of America! :patriot: :bounce: :kick: :party:

[VolcanoJen]

13. Wouldn't it be interesting...

... if that young man, forty-odd years from now, uses that photograph in his Presidential campaign?

[Cha]

27. Yes, it would,

indeed, Jen:)

[Muttocracy]

46. :-)

[Hutzpa]

61. Your sig line

is very telling and thats very evil, its not going to happen
just to let you know.

[Muttocracy]

62. Huh? My sig line means I wanted President Biden but like Obama better than Clinton

Is it better for people not to express which way they're leaning? How is that evil? And what is "telling" and what's "not going to happen"? Whatever you're trying to let me know I'm not getting?

:shrug:

[Hutzpa]

63. Been a long day n/t

[Muttocracy]

65. so you have a rough day and call me evil and won't explain it? hope you feel better nt

[Bodhi BloodWave]

67. i think it was as simple as missing an ; so it read: Biden is the best choice of the remainders n/t

[Muttocracy]

68. ok, I can see how it might be confusing and I'll repunctuate, but telling, evil? nt

[blonndee]

14. Awww. That is SO sweet. I love that picture. Maybe my favorite so far. n/t

[Muttocracy]

6. "Alex Brandon" is one great photographer! nt

[ginnyinWI]

45. beat me to it

His photography is striking. And he's also got a great subject to work with. :)

[Crazy4sea]

7. A Picture is worth a thousand words...

These two are very moving

[Willo]

11. I totally agree

[gateley]

21. Beautiful and moving. nt

[Strelnikov_]

49. Yea, the one with the kid is a classic n/t

[skater314159]

52. They are very moving...

... this kind of imagery is what America needs after the last eight years!

:dem:

[BklynChick]

9. the look on that boy's face... whoa.

[libnnc]

10. I drove past the Coliseum this morning around 11

and folks were lined up around the building to get in. I had a ton of work to do at school and couldn't stop...now I wish I had.

[RememberWellstone]

12. What a nerd

He looks like a big, goofy math dork from high school.

[Alexander]

17. You just had to shit all over a positive thread, didn't you?

What's the matter? Can't find anything nice to say about Hillary?

[KAZ]

25. Now you know how Bigtree felt when some shat on his positive threads.

[democrattotheend]

Oh come on...that wasn't so mean

I might say something similar and I am a supporter.

[RememberWellstone]

36. It's an opinion

Was'nt even racist (God forbid) and it was humorous if you think about it. Tall, lanky, goofy with a deep baritone voice. Just humor. Sort of like Erkle on that sitcom, funny guy.

[skater314159]

55. Yeah, cause like Urkle is the ONLY black nerd...

... which makes your attempt at an "explination" racist.

Niiice. :eyes:

[babylonsister]

18. You just dumped a big stinky here, so welcome to ignore. Not

necessary, and I didn't have to read that. Why ruin a beautiful thread?

[NightWatcher]

20. all I see above is "ignored"

it really cleans up the place

[SeattleGirl]

71. How right you are, NW

:)

[KAZ]

24. This one is just looking for attention. Ignore it.

[RememberWellstone]

37. I am hurt.

Probably beyond repair now, I looked so forward to being an Oompa lemming running towards the cliff with you guys. Guess it's not gonna happen now? Bye, bye, sweetie pie.

[BeyondGeography]

19. How did you get permission to appropriate Wellstone's name, anyway?

I've been reading your bullshit spew for the past several months and you're the antithesis of the man.

[RememberWellstone]

33. Right

Since when does "permission" be granted for someone who does not believe in Obama? You Oompas are wrecked.

[BeyondGeography]

38. I guess you need the sarcasm thingy, too

Wellstone would be appalled by you.

[RememberWellstone]

41. And you would know?

I have my opinions and I am sure Paul would agree with them. He is my hero to this day, so don't even go there.

[BeyondGeography]

44. In fact, he would say, "please refrain from using my good name immediately"

[KAZ]

47. You've never posted one thing remotely similar to his opinions.

[RememberWellstone]

48. Wrong

I totally disagree, that is exactly why I post what I do. I do not need to follow a crowd to be anything or get anywhere in life. Paul was believer in thinking for yourself. I intend on keeping that premise.

[VolcanoJen]

22. Sounds like what the Repukes used to say about Chelsea Clinton.

You should think before you post. Picking on a child???

[RememberWellstone]

39. Right

Thats it? I am now picking on a child. Come on, Obama is a big boy now, I am sure he can handle the vetting.

[VolcanoJen]

43. Oh? Your "math nerd" comment was aimed at that beautiful child in the photograph.

Unless you're walking your awful comment back... so now, Obama's the "math nerd"?

OK. Coolest. Math Nerd. Ever, then.

[MH1]

29. Shallow, much?

I'd rather have a smart "dork" running this country than frat boy or sorority girl, wouldn't you?

[Eric Condon]

31. Seriously? Is that what it's come to?

NERD?

Well, that's it. You've convinced me. We can't vote for a NERD! Clinton all the way! :sarcasm:

[Tatiana]

32. You stay classy! n/t

[george_maniakes]

34. yah, i'm not sure you want to be bringing up appearances my dear...

im afraid obama wins that contest hands down, no contest.

53. The high-school nerds usually end up ruling the world.

[skater314159]

54. What? Math dork is an insult?

Hell, I was a member of my school's Environmental Science Club, Mathletes, and Junior Engineering and Tech Society... and being a nerd is better than being a dipshit.

Pleeeez... trying to insult people's intelligence and advocating anti-intellectualism is best left for * and his crew.

:eyes:

EDIT - had to fix "advocating anti-intellectualism" - it was like a typing twister for my fingers :silly:

[sudopod]

56. You sure were great on the cheerleading squad

NOW GIMME MY FRENCH FRIES!

[DerekJ]

57. You .. Are … Jealous…

You .. Are … Jealous…
You Are Jealous NaNa .. NANANANA
:bounce:

You :bounce:
Are :bounce:
Jealous :bounce:

:rofl:

[scheming daemons]

59. You are exhibit A as to why America can't wait to dance on the Clinton political grave.....

...you're a despicable human being, just like most of your candidate's staff and supporters.

[mmonk]

15. Thanks for the photos post.

I saw the coverage on News 14 Carolina. It was great.

[babylonsister]

[ourbluenation]

40. great pics - do you have links for those? n/t

[MilesColtrane]

60. Cooler than the other side of your pillow.

Samuel L. Jackson wishes he was that cool.

[ariesgem]

73. Most definitely!

[msallied]

64. I love his shades! HOT!

These are my favorite pictures of him yet. He will be one hell of a President.

[TexasLady]

69. He's practically incapable of taking a bad pic.

photogenic, aint he?
