1/6/09: Photographic Randomness

[Clio the Leo]

Lots of good shots today for me and my fellow political news photo junkies. Here they are, in no particular order....

[Pirate Smile]

1. The second one cracked me up - both the kids and the adults have their electronic toys.

[Clio the Leo]

3. ha ha, I just saw the little boys..... missed the big ones. NT

[firedupdem]

2. I have my Presidents back and so does this guy

[Clio the Leo]

4. I am CONVINCED....

.... he practices posing in the mirror.

Looking that cool sometimes takes a bit of practice.

[monmouth]

21. He makes Jeremy Piven look like an amatuer...LOL..n/t

[jillan]

5. C'mon Nancy - go ahead and gavel him.

[NYC_SKP]

7. LOL...

And Cheney has his regular look, like he's spotted a target and he's got a nefarious plan to take it out.

[Clio the Leo]

9. lol, check out the pic of "Cheeney"....

.. in Jackeens thread earlier "Cheney's Day at the Office" or something like that .... she's got a shot of him spiriting away some papers. Pretty funny.

16. I know just the picture, stuffing something into his vest pocket.

The wicked rat (take note my lack of profanity)!

6. GOSH DARN!

Those are GREAT pictures!

Was that Ted from above, he looks great!

The hands closeups, the bracelet.

I want a watch like Obama's!

Gol DANG!!!

[Clio the Leo]

8. I'm sorry SKP but ....

... I dont allow swearing in my threads. You're gonna have to change that to "gosh darn" or "gaaaaaaleee!" (Gomer Pyle style) :)

And that IS a cool watch .... I have this vivid memory of Clinton signing his first bill into law minutes after being sworn in 1993. Out from his sleeve popped this rubber watch. I thought it was odd that the President would be wearing a rubber watch.

A leather band is a good compromise between "too blingy" and "too sporty." lol

14. !

Funny you should call me SKP.... I'll tell ya why.

I lived in NYC for years, downtown East Village, Washington Square, that's the NYC part.

Then I returned to California, left the city.

The SKP come directly from something Barney Fife said in an episode of Andy Griffith.

What did Barney say? Andy, we got us an ____!!!!

[Clio the Leo]

22. lol @ you changing the post title.....

... I am proud of you, your grandmama would be proud of you ... and Jesus is proud of you! :applause:

10. my husband already googled for the information on that watch...

it's a gift from the secret service. He wouldn't tell me how much it costs! LOL

[NYC_SKP]

11. probably way out of my price range..

Had he bought it for himself, maybe not.

[firedupdem]

13. I don't know if this is the same one...

President Elect Barak Obama is the epitome of cool–at least as far as presidents go–so it’s not surprising that there has been much speculation about his couture. Front and center in that speculation has been “What the heck is that cool black chrono he’s wearing?” Tag Carrera? Panerai? Could it be that this POTUS with the populist bent has a watch that costs $12,000???
No.


It turns out that true to his democratic roots the president’s watch is a gift from his secret service detail. An inexpensive, but nice looking watch from the secret service store branded with the secret service logo.
The watch is the Jorg Gray JGC 6500 and is available from logomark but yours will not have the cool secret service logo on it.

15. I found a good link on his watches, here:

He owns a Tag Heuer and the SS gave him one from their employee store that was from this company: :

The article, with great pics, is here:

12. Did they ever find the missing birthday gift....

... the campaign lost last summer?

[Jennicut]

17. The little girls in the black and red dresses are very cute

The poor kids there at the capital today...its tough to stay still that long and be on your best behavior. I see lots of kids with electronic toys, gotta have something to keep them occupied.

[Clio the Leo]

23. Isn't that funny?

Next time, I'm gonna put on a fancy party dress and see if I can bribe one of them with a cookie to swap places with me. :)

18. Obama's hands...mmmmm n/t

[Beacool]

19. The pictures of the kids are so adorable!!!!

Rahm looks pretty hot in that pic.......
