1. Pres Obama with a Pink Tie? Maybe because he's in Kerry Land??

Never seen him rock that

[PopSixSquish]

4. Perhaps Because of the First Lady's Breast Cancer Awareness Event Today?

Both she and Jill Biden were there.

[politicasista]

[madmax]

Breast Cancer Awareness month. :shrug:

[Clio the Leo]

[Tx4obama]

[Clio the Leo]

3. HE'S WEARING A PINK TIE!!!!!!!!

OH MY GOODNESS!!!! I just died and went to Clio heaven!!!!! (In honor of the Breast Cancer seminar this morning no doubt!)

Who needs a robust public option, peace abroad, nuclear disarmament, marriage equality for all and a playoff system in NCAA football ....

MY MAN'S GOT ON A PINK TIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PopSixSquish]

You're So Cute

What happens if he wears a pink Oxford shirt and a pink tie some day? Will an ambulance need to be called?

[Clio the Leo]

now that might be overkill.....

.... only Jill and I can pull that off. :)

[pink-o]

26. I know. I love Clio too

:loveya:

[Clio the Leo]

:hi:

[goclark]

23. Love that story ~ first time I read that one nt

[madmax]

8. There ya go!!!

Male and female should support breast cancer awareness. Men get breast cancer, too. But, if they didn't they since they like the tata's so much so they also try to save them ;)

Yes, Our President Rocks!!

[Clio the Leo]

9. This is even more exciting than the NFL players and their pink cleats. . NT

[The Wielding Truth]

7. He's a hard working inspirational man. Thanks for the pic's.

[Cha]

14. This is so refreshing..so much better

than reading all the pissing and moaning over mediawhore dissemblance.

[applegrove]

15. Love it.

[PopSixSquish]

16. Ok. I'm Gonna Want That Suit Too

This goes on "My Favorite Michelle Obama Looks" list...

[bumblebee1]

17. I love that t-shirt .

I don't understand the equation on the shirt, but I love it anyway.

[katkat]

27. shirt

Navier–Stokes equations, govern fluid motion.

We don't see enough of Dr. Biden. And Michelle looks great, as always, but I would give a noticeable portion of my kingdom to see what she looks like without her eyebrows drawn artificially high, even better, I'll bet.

[Norrin Radd]

18. The Pres looks like Tron in that first pic.

[Sky Masterson]

19. Obama is such a geek

And I mean that in the best way.

I could see him wearing a shirt like this ;)

and Michelle..Thud!!!

She is freaken beautiful.
Great pics.. :thumbsup:

[eppur_se_muova]

24. Geek humor doesn't travel well outside of geek circles. ;^)

From an episode of Futurama, a banner above the altar of the Church of Robotology:

10 DO SIN
20 GO TO HELL

[I Have A Dream]

31. Ha!

:thumbsup:

:D

[JNelson6563]

21. Fabulous!

As always, thanks Jackeens. :toast: :yourock:

[CitizenLeft]

22. just wonderful

Your threads are one of the best things about DU. I'd say I love you and thank you every day, but then you'd get tired of me. So I only say it once every 2 months. :)
:loveya:

[phoenixriz]

25. Jackeens you always bring Joy when you post pictures

I love Michelle's suit. Notice that she is wearing the skirt with the sweater at the ceremony.

Jill is such a lovely lady the way she married Biden and adopted his boys after his first wife and baby girl were killed. She saved him. We owe her our gratitude because I just love Joe.

So thoughtful for our President to wear the pink tie. When I was young I cared for a man with breast cancer.

I gave my brother a shirt written in a math formula and foreign words. It been so long ago that I can't remember the language. It was accompanied by a card with the interpretation of the words. The interpretation was "If you can read this, you are overeducated." lol

Thank you, Jackeens.

beautiful women!

Is she waving at someone? I love the expression on her face. :)
