PHOTOS: President Obama & US Forces Korea

[alsame]

U.S. President Barack Obama is greeted by soldiers as he arrives at a hall to deliver a speech to soldiers from U.S. Forces Korea before his departure at the U.S. airbase in Osan, south of Seoul, November 19, 2009.

1. Thanks. Is he on his way home?

[alsame]

2. I believe so. South Korea was the last leg of the trip, unless there are

some surprise detours. Last week some talking heads were speculating that he would stop in Afghanistan on his way home.

[Clio the Leo]

3. Well that will just perk you right up.

Who needs coffee after looking at that?

[Schema Thing]

4. It's not quite open revolt, but by god it's close to it!

[Parker CA]

24. BWWAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAAA!!! I laughed out loud reading this after seeing the pics. Well done.

[treestar]

5. Looks to me like they are pretty proud of their President

And CIC. They have a good leader now. sorry freepers.

[tavalon]

11. What great pix-thanks! Our prez has some fans in Korea, it seems.

The smiling faces made my day!

[marshall]

12. A great photo op

I love the media age--we get to see so much so quickly.

[Thrill]

13. Man I bet the people who do his re-election ads can't wait

to get a hold of this kind of stuff

[Cha]

18. Let's hope

they do think it's the kind of photos that need to be seen with all that's been done for the Military including the Vets.

[HopeOverFear]

14. look at all the hugs!

[jenmito]

15. K&R just so I could scroll through all the pics again. Just the looks on their faces says so much.

They REALLY seem to like him-unlike those forced to stand and listen to BUSH speak.

[Hutzpa]

16. Those are actually genuine smiles and happiness

a far cry from * tenure.

[jillan]

17. Why aren't these pics all over the msm instead of the crowds lining up

to see that empty onion (jon Stewart - when you peel away the layers of that onion - there's nothing there - referring to Palin).

Seriously - isn't this more important? Support our Troops means more than a slogan on a bumpersticker.

[Cha]

19. Because the corporatemedia is Public

Enemy Number One against America.

[Cha]

20. Nothing like having President Obama

mixing with our Troops to bring out the sunshine.

[CakeGrrl]

21. Did Pretzeldent Bush EVER have

that many troops clamoring to take his picture or to look so pleased to see him EVERYWHERE he went?

I doubt it, but it would be interesting to see whether there's anything remotely close to the energy that President Obama generates.

22. Thanx for posting...

Those pictures made me tear up. The genuine happiness of the troops say so much, and notice the amount of digi-cams ready to capture a glimpse of our CIC, great post!

just hitting MSNBC now...
