President Barack Obama at the 'White House to Light House' Wounded Warrior Soldier Ride on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, DC, April 30, 2009. The program helps rehabilitate wounded veterans and Obama kicked off the start of a ride that will take the bikers from the White House to Arlington Cemetery, before continuing Friday to Annapolis, Maryland.

1. Looks like he's having fun. You'd never know how much crap

he has to deal with judging by that smile.

2. his smile is tonic for our time

7. I love that smile and the man behind it.

What a refreshing change from the ugly smirk.

11. I remember Bush at such events,

looking very bored and ready to bolt at the first opportunity. Didn't have a sincere bone in his body.

[sarge43]

12. The only time Bush appeared sincere was when he was

bullying someone with a put down or talking about killing people. Otherwise he wouldn't know sincere if it snuck up behind him and kidney punched him.

[PatSeg]

17. That's for sure!

He was just an actor playing a role, but he was a very BAD actor and I couldn't believe that so many people couldn't see through him early on. Then again, a lot of people really like 'B' movies.

20. Remember when Bush joked at Walter Reed about how he was wounded too..got a scratch clearing brush?

[PatSeg]

22. Oh ick,

thanks for the memory.



What a clueless oaf.

[sarge43]

23. Oh yeah. At one with the troops.

I also remember the pictures of Marine sergeant whose face had been literally melted by a roadside explosion in Iraq.

Did I mention I loath Bush?

1 player at a time

10. Oh Mr. President I love you...She said :)

[Ocracoker16]

13. Obama is having a good time

It looks like everyone there is enjoying hanging out with Obama.

[Thrill]

14. Whenever Gates is with Obama. He has the biggest Grin on his face

I think he is one happy guy to be in the Administration.



Remember how happy he was clapping when Obama was speaking in NC.
