I need help finding an image (or images) from today

[lizziegrace]

My mother's going through radiation treatments for cancer. She has 3 more to go (33 total) and missed the parade. What she is looking for is footage or images of Barack and Michelle walking back to the White House after the parade.

I saw it on tv but didn't record it.

She said she remembered an image like that from the Clinton inauguration and she thought it was such a wonderful image of the first couple making their way to the White House.

So if anyone knows where to find them, I'd appreciate it. I've looked around and not had much luck.

1. USA Today has some

But the links do not post the pictures:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/usatoday/3214001448/in/set-72157612787581054/ - is the best of them walking, IMO.

Sending my best wishes for your mother! I hope she feels better soon.

5. you have to delete the "?v=0" to post pics from flickr

it took me a long time to figure that out

[csziggy]

24. Thanks - maybe I will remember the next time I post pics from somebody else's Flickr account!

6. Thanks

she dodged a bullet for the second time in 15 years. Early detection is why she's still here.

I saw Michelle and Barack walking behind the viewing stand after the parade had ended (in the dark) and they had turned to wave. They were heading up the hill to the White House. That's what mom's looking for.

I'm sending her your links because she wants to relive this day. :)

What a day!

2. Did you want pics of them

out of the limo walking? I just saw a clip of them actually walking into the white house as "home", but I haven't found a photo of that yet.

4. Here are some cbs has

[lizziegrace]

7. The video of them walking "home" to the White House would be

perfect!

[vard28]

9. Let me poke around and see

if I can find it. I have had nbc on all day/evening, so I'll look there!

[lizziegrace]

10. That would be great

she wants to see them walking up to the White House entrance or close to it. "Going Home" as she put it, after the parade.

[vard28]

11. K, that's what I saw

I'm in DC suburbs in VA so it might have been our local news that caught it. But while you're waiting, check out THESE photos! There are quite a few different ones than I've seen all day! http://www.nbcwashington.com/news/us_world/Inauguration_Day.html

3. If you have a laptop

you can download Keith Olbermans Countdown from earlier tonight for free. Lots of stuff there about during the inauguration, including video of the parade.

[lizziegrace]

12. She could do that too (she's in 2000 miles away from me)

but after 30 treatments in almost as many days, she's too exhausted to watch long videos. I wanted to send her images and very short clips.

Thanks! :)

[Pierre.Suave]

13. well if she feels up to it

go to itunes and download the podcast of Countdown, all free.

edit: I also wish your mother the best, and a speedy and full recovery.

[lizziegrace]

14. Her prognosis is excellent

both cancers were caught very, very early. She's a poster child for early detection. I'm grateful she cared enough to have all those screenings done regularly. :)

You'd love her. She'd be a model patient for you.

19. Those are great!

How are ya doin'?

[VenusRising]

21. Great.

But getting sleepy.

How are you?

:hi:

[vard28]

25. Still tired as crap!

But I'm gettin' back to "normal" more every day.

[Aristus]

17. Boy-howdy, that's a fine looking couple!

How much is too much? We have an intelligent, engaged, hard-working President, who is also very handsome, and his wife, ferociously intelligent herself, accomplished and poised, is also a stunner...

I must be dreaming. :boring:

Anybody who wakes me up is gonna regret it! :hangover:

How are you feeling now, lizzie? Care for another dance before calling it a night? :-)

[lizziegrace]

18. Sure

If Michelle is getting through her day, I can find the energy for one more dance.

:)

So, what are we dancing to?

[Aristus]

20. "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes".

Which, just by coincidence, is the reason Michelle makes her husband take his cigarette breaks outside! :rofl:

"They-ay-yay asked me how I kneeeew,
My true love was trooooooo..."

What a night...what a day...I don't have the words... :hug:

[lizziegrace]

22. Nor do I

just :wow: and :D


Tomorrow I get smacked back into reality, but for today, it was nice to escape.

[Aristus]

23. Tomorrow, as the Japanese say, is a thousand years away.

Just enjoy the moment. I'm sure President Obama and Michelle are. Tomorrow, the real heavy-lifting begins...





Edited to capitalize 'Japanese'. Didn't want to be thought disrespectful.
