1. What is going on in that first picture?

:rofl::rofl:

[Sabriel]

3. I believe it's the Hokey Pokey

He's putting his right foot in, he's putting his right foot out....

After all, that IS what it's all about.

[trusty elf]

46. Do you know the "Shakespearean" version?

:D

O proud left foot, that ventures quick within
Then soon upon a backward journey lithe.
Anon, once more the gesture, then begin:
Command sinistral pedestal to writhe.
Commence thou then the fervid Hokey-Poke,
A mad gyration, hips in wanton swirl.
To spin! A wilde release from Heavens yoke.
Blessed dervish! Surely canst go, girl.
The Hoke, the poke -- banish now thy doubt
Verily, I say, 'tis what it's all about.

[Beaverhausen]

53. LOL!!!

:rofl:

You made my saturday morning!!!

[Sabriel]

64. Heh. I have to share that with the class.

Nothing like Shakespearean fun to start off a class.

[trusty elf]

66. Here's a bit of palindromic silliness for you.

:silly:

[Jackeens]

4. He's hurdling any obstacles put in his way!!! n/t

[SheilaT]

10. I'm also wondering about the first picture.

Why do those two women in the background look like half-sized humans? Or is the Barack Obama figure a cardboard cut out larger than life size?

[charlie and algernon]

13. it's the hobbit effect

it's the same thing Peter Jackson used in the Lord of the Rings. he'd have Gandolf stand way ahead of Frodo and the hobbits to make it look like he was much taller than them.

[RubyDuby in GA]

20. 1 Minute Dance Party?

Like on 30 Rock?

[AyanEva]

32. LOL

I seriously thought he was dancing at first.

[AwakeAtLast]

35. Leaping....um....short plants in a single bound

:D

[cherokeeprogressive]

58. He's able to leap tall flowers in a single bound. n/t

[democrattotheend]

2. One of my coworkers saw Michelle leaving Georgia Brown's today

That's where Michelle is in the last picture...leaving Georgia Brown's, a restaurant a few blocks from the White House. I'm so bummed I wasn't there!

[Cha]

7. Wow, ya'll are in

the thick of things!

[elleng]

39. THANKS for that!

Never been there! Nice to see that they're spending time together. Who is the other woman? One of their staff, eh?

[xenussister]

47. The other woman: the wife of the mayor of Washington, D.C.

Michelle and Jill had lunch with the mayor and his wife (Adrian and Michelle Fenty) at Georgia Brown's. There are more pictures here:

I love that color on her, and her shoes too.

Love Joe's facial expressions!

[elleng]

49. I don't think I've seen her;

No, I have in a picture long time ago. Don't think the 3d woman looks like her. PS, she 'just' had a baby.

edit: guess it is fenty's wife. THey've got twin boys, and new baby girl.

[charlie and algernon]

5. awsome, we've got a new *facepalm* pic!

[mikiturner]

11. Yep

[Jennicut]

24. LMAO....that is the funniest pic I have seen in a long time

so many macros possible from one pic.

[charlie and algernon]

27. here's another

[Phx_Dem]

63. ROLF. Too funny!

[ecstatic]

21. my thoughts exactly! nt

[BattyDem]

29. A double facepalm!

:D

[Bucky]

6. Saving the world should not be this much fun. But what's up with THIS picture?

Is Biden doing his McCain impression from the debates?

[Justyce]

14. DeNiro impression.

Are you talkin' to me? ;)

[Jennicut]

25. Joe Biden makes the funniest faces ever, especially when tthe Prez is

not looking!

[PatSeg]

59. No, he has his tongue in his mouth!

[KittyWampus]

8. sorry for being superficial but that color looks stellar on Mrs O.

[rvablue]

12. You're not superficial...you're just

experiencing some lightness and glee after the hell you've (and all of us) have been through the past 8 years.

And I love the color(S) too! All those different blues and she's mixed them flawlessly.

Love the splash of color from the pink gloves sticking out of her pocket.

And I think First Lady O's first contribution to fashion trends will be the belted, open cardigan!

Woah!, guess I had a lot to say about this outfit, but I'm just loving this change!

[alsame]

17. I love the colors too. Blues and purples are my favorite on

her. But she always looks gorgeous:)

[PylesMalfunction]

19. Word!

"You're not superficial...you're just experiencing some lightness and glee after the hell you've (and all of us) have been through the past 8 years."

We're all loving the sunshine. And yes - she looks gorgeous in that color!

[Raine]

45. Yup, I'm so loving this!

I always look to see what Michelle is wearing and she always looks just TERRIFIC! :-)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. These two make me so damn happy!

How about this: Two intelligent, moral men, doing their jobs competently, and still having fun!

Wow.

Great pics, my dear Jackeens!

Thank you.

:hug:

[underpants]

15. Joe is SO my father-in-law

the remarks as well

[tabbycat31]

16. I want Michelle's coat

[Sheltiemama]

41. Me, too.

Gorgeous. I think one reason we're fixated on her clothes is that she wears things we can see ourselves wearing. We can even afford some of them.

[Raine]

44. I just love to see what she's wearing

I know that people felt that way about Jackie but I was too young at that time to be interested.

[tabbycat31]

56. agreed

I have a coat now that one of my campaign groups called my 'Sarah Palin' coat (even though it's blue, a color the RNC dare not dress Sarah in).

I'll probably need a new one next year though since I'll probably drop a size. Michelle gives me fashion ideas and I like that. Better than Laura Bush.

[Hope And Change]

18. Wonderful pics.K & R!

[Barack_America]

22. That is my favorite color on Michelle.

And I like that she's going with less make-up for her day-to-day appearances. She's just as beautiful without it and makes me feel like less of a slacker, lol.

[senseandsensibility]

23. LOL, but seriously, I must know...

WHAT is going on in the first and fifth pictures? Anyone?:shrug:

[DevonRex]

26. What's Joe doing in #5 and what are they both reacting to in #9?

And I love the colors Michelle has on today. Thanks!!!

[chill_wind]

28. Love the uncanny Obiden pics--

# 3 & #9 especially. Joe publicly synchs and mirrors in his role extremely well. There's some synergy. :-) In this, Obama picked well.

[psychmommy]

30. michelle and jill always look great.

biden looks like he got our prez's back in pics 2-8. i love them together. i think he did make a good pick.

[Muttocracy]

31. I'm using a small screen and until I scrolled down I thought in pic 1

they were doing some crazy dance!

:rofl:

[AyanEva]

33. I love the third and sixth photos

[Clio the Leo]

34. YAY! Another classic Joe face to add to my collection....

[Beacool]

37. He looks like McCain after one of the debates.

I forgot which one of them it was, but he made a similar face. The pic was posted here and garnered many responses.

:eyes:

[Clio the Leo]

38. No no no, that is NOT a McCain face at all.....

... that is a Joe the Hottness face .... that is the face that will help lead us to a brighter day!!!











In short, do not question the Biden Mania .... it will NEVER do you wrong! ;)



So just GET UP CHAMP!!!! JUST GET UP!!!!! WOOHOO!!!!!

[Beacool]

40. Me thinks that Ms. Clio has a crush on the VP..........

:eyes:



}(

[Clio the Leo]

42. ... shhhh .... dont tell anyone. ;-) NT

[Beacool]

50. OK, your secret is safe with me.

;-)

[Jennicut]

57. The first one, what the heck is he doing?

I love his funny faces. :)

[PatSeg]

60. Those are great

He has the most expressive face I've ever seen. I hope he doesn't play poker!

[Aristus]

36. More captions:

"May The Lord bless you and keep you..."


"Damn! I make this look GOOD!"


"That was you, wasn't it, Joe?"

"No sir, that was you..."

:rofl:

[PatSeg]

61. Love that last one

You should put that on LOL.

[Raine]

43. All four of them like each other too

you can tell they have genuine affection and respect for each other. I'm so HAPPY and PROUD of this new administration! :bounce: :woohoo: :applause:

[skeewee08]

48. I luv how the Secret Service Agent is holding First Lady by the side#10

he better be careful President Obama mught have to open a can of whoop a**:-)

[Beacool]

51. It's standard procedure when the protectee is in a crowd.

You'll see them do it to all of them, the Obamas, the Bidens, the Clintons, etc.

;-)

[Catshrink]

52. Isn't it wonderful to see genuine smiles and joy?

Instead of constipated grimaces and zanax smiles? This is the real deal.

[Terran]

54. LOL at Joe--Master of Facial Control!

Gotta love him!

[CakeGrrl]

55. More great pix, thanks. Here's a HuffPo article about the meeting

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/darrell-west/inside-the-white-house_b_162594.html

Maybe they were stepping over those flowers to shake hands with the audience?

These guys are great - the make the Repubs look like jackasses every day walking the walk. They also happen to look great doing it - and they have the "fans" to prove it. You know that's driving the Repub asshats crazy too; it's too much for them to handle. :evilgrin:

[PatSeg]

62. Obama and Biden look so in tune

My favorite "Buddy" pic.

[Waiting For Everyman]

65. It never fails that the pics are great.

Thanks, Jackeens! :)
