1. It won't work politically I imagine, but I think Kerry would have been a great VP for Obama

but rightly or wrongly (wrongly in my opinion) Kerry has an elitist reputation. But what a great team they would be.

[Erin Elizabeth]

22. I still really like Kerry.

Is it ok to still really like him? I mean, take away all the untrue shit that was smeared around and you still have a really upstanding, honest, incredibly intelligent hard-working man who is a good leader.

He'd make a TERRIFIC vice president. Or really in any kind of advisory role--cabinet member.

I'll never forget reading about how he always leaves a twenty dollar bill on the pillow of the hotel room beds he stays in for the cleaning staff. Most people never think of doing things like that. But he never forgets to.

[AtomicKitten]

2. He's taking on the mantle seamlessly.

:D

[Erin Elizabeth]

23. Ah, you put it into words.

I had a hard time describing it. But it's like he's got this aura about him. Very competent, confident, statesmanlike. He looks and acts and talks and interacts with others the way you think a president should.

(Not like the current one--an emotionally retarded brain-dead baboon, which is what we have unfortunately come to be used to.)

[EFerrari]

30. He certainly is. He's exactly the right man for this moment.

It's amazing to watch, isn't it? :toast:

[Scurrilous]

3. K & R

:thumbsup:

[BlueCaliDem]

4. Wonderful photos. Thanks flpoljunkie. Obama is so down-to-earth human. That's why I like him. eom

[thewiseguy]

5. He had a workout in the senate building?

B-)

[Binka]

6. He Was Wrestling With The Pukes

[roguevalley]

8. such an elegant man. he doesn't take a bad photo

[Erin Elizabeth]

24. ARM wrestling!

And he won. Don't be fooled by the size of his arms, he beat them all.

[flpoljunkie]

7. Senators do have some kind of workout facility on Capitol Hill.

[thewiseguy]

9. I wonder how many of them use it.

[NashVegas]

10. What? He's Not On a Mule?

I'm surprised.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

12. Maybe he can borrow Hillary's dead horse.

[Connie_Corleone]

15. LOL!!

[Tarheel_Dem]

17. LMAO....

:rofl:

[Connie_Corleone]

13. You're pathetic.

[uponit7771]

11. The most camera friendly president we've had in a generation, he makes being prez look cool...

[Erin Elizabeth]

25. I can't help but be happy at the thought of that

as far as our relations with the rest of the world goes. It will go far to help, I think, when they see a man who actually ACTS like a leader should.

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

14. he's tired of those neck ties, I see

he looks a bit more rested. Glad to see that.

[me b zola]

16. K&R

Love them all. :)

[Tarheel_Dem]

18. Thanks fpj....I feel better now.

My favorite: This one will win awards.



:hi:

[Renew Deal]

19. Man he's skinny

You'd need 3 of him to make a Taft.

[Erin Elizabeth]

29. Four and a half.

Taft was some large lovin'.

:rofl:

[yodermon]

20. not sure about the t-shirt-tucked-into-sweatpants look.

wouldn't untucked look better?

[flpoljunkie]

21. On Obama, it looks just fine.

[Erin Elizabeth]

27. That'd be sloppy.

[Binka]

31. Indeed As He Is A SHARP DRESSED MAN!

Cue the Z Z Top!

[yodermon]

32. tucking in workout clothes seems pretentious and elitist to me

Guess i'll be voting for Barr!

;) ;) ;)

[Erin Elizabeth]

35. BWA!

[Renew Deal]

34. I prefer untucked

But I'm not running for president.

[indimuse]

26. What in the WORLD is THAT, in the black and yellow?

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

[helderheid]

28. Our next President.

[Tatiana]

33. OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!
