I would think that would loosen him up a bit. Maybe my friend did a mile more than him on the treadmill?

On edit, you probably know I am a Greenwald supporter, but I don't hate President Obama for what was revealed by Greenwald. I just pray he will reverse it. I still have hope because I still think President Obama is a good and decent man.

You are a good person Cooley Hurd

...even though he's not even 40 yet.

I thought he looked thinner. But that smile shows how tense he actually is. He's now an old pro; I don't think he allows much to get to him.

His smile says it all babylonsister!

I love the slice of Boston Stronger, er, Cream Pie~ i bet the Prez had a piece when he was here!

…. The president talked to the girls’ team first, then the boys. He tried to start a little trouble: “Can you guys beat the boys?” Obama asked the girls, and one said. “Oh definitely.”

…. Obama singled out one girl: “You don’t look like you’re in junior high school,” he said to a young girl, Julia, who is 9. Meeting the president, she had said earlier today, was on her bucket list. “Here’s a general rule,” Obama said. “When you’re 9, you don’t need a bucket list,” and the girls laughed. “When you get to be 52, then you might want to draw one up.” With the boys, Obama took a soft pass from one of the players, caught up to it and played with the ball for a couple of seconds (to oohs) before passing it back to the team.



Let's here it for the girls!

Thanks for the pie, freshwest~

I guess he got good news about Beau from MD Anderson. If there was cancer up in there, he wouldn't have gone home.

Yes I hope he had good news about Beau. I don't believe he would leave his sons side if it had been otherwise. That family has suffered more than their share of grief.

and grab a bite! He is looking thinner today.. but, hopefully he can put some meat on his bones soon.

Tomorrow he's giving his speech on the 50th Anniversary of MLK's "I Have A Dream".

"Thousands expected at march, rally honoring MLK's legacy, organizers say"

"Sharpton told the AP that Saturday’s observances are aimed to highlight key civil rights issues dominating the national conversation, including New York’s controversial “stop-and-frisk” policing tactics, which critics have characterized as racial profiling, and Florida’s "Stand Your Ground" self-defense statute.

Those issues along with unemployment, health care and education are what will bring Yvette Young to the march. The 52-year-old Virginia resident and vice president at the Urban League of Hampton Roads hopes her daughter, 14, will have a better life than she did.

"My life hasn't been so bad, but I grew up in the 60s," Young said, adding that she had to witness a lot of discrimination. "I hope for a much better road for her," she added.

Saturday’s march and rally come two months after the Supreme Court struck down a key anti-discrimination provision of 1965’s landmark Voting Rights Act, triggering a wave of new voting laws and rules in several states and prompting a chorus of criticism from prominent African-American leaders.

Speakers at the Wednesday observance will include President Barack Obama and former Presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, according to the event’s website.

And there's not a fucking thing he can do about it.

Obamacare. We'd still be in Iraq and the war in Afghanistan would not be winding the fuck down. It's definitely a struggle but one in which the President and his supporters are more than up for the challenge.

And, that's where you are.. in the Barack Obama Group.

Didn't know Neo-Cons were for voting rights, the morning after pill, equal sentencing, immigration reform, lower college tuition, UEB, SNAP, Head Start, health coverage on pre-existing conditions, expanding Medicaid and Medicare, jobs, abortion rights, alternative energy and all that other piddly stuff. Gee, I feel so much better. Guess I'll take a nap through 2016...

love those "neocons ". rofl

Somebody's "snoozing" but it ain't us.

Good post.. mahalo!

While his reach will always exceed his grasp under these conditions, it's not as if he's been helpless or ineffective. That's surrender talk. If he had been, the neocons wouldn't be so wild to depose him. So everybody who wants to complain 'there's nothing he can do about it' had better get off his duff and put his shoulder to the wheel. Otherwise such 'sympathy' rings hollow.

USA to launch a few punitive cruise missles at Assad's military assets.

I'm sure that's on his mind.

Look at all the weight he has carried as President. He still stands tall and proud.

He will face the decisions about Syria in his own thoughtful way. We can be thankful that we have a President that will make an educated decision. He will look at all sides, the good, the bad and the ugly before he acts. He will stand behind the decision he makes.

He's not a "rush to judgment" type. He has good staff, too--no Rummys nor Haigs nor Other Blowhard Assholes Who Love To Send Others To Die!

He doesn't have to be a "war President" like Bush to validate himself. We had enough tragic and costly war with Bush. I much prefer the Obama approach - thinking.

foisted onto Obama's shoulders, sworn vows by the Republican party to bring down his presidency, subtle racism, onslaughts and blame by his own political followers, blame for job loss, foreign relations and you name it.

NOT ME!!!!

is too cold! Obama's fault." "Wah, my toast is burnt! Obama's fault."

Gas has gone down! Obama's fault.. wait a minute.. no, he didn't have anything to do with that!11!

2016 if we should be so fortunate to get another Dem in Office.. Rinse Repeat Rinse Repeat ad nauseum.

Too bad that some people actually believe that!

Yet he smiles and brushes it off, then moves forward! His calm strength amazes me.

Thanks for that video.

the two newest Obama Biden ones. Love their Team!

Bless his "tense" heart!

BOG she

The "birther" BS that still goes on, the fake manufactured scandals, the racism...disgusting. And despite every desperate attempt to bring this President down he prevails because most people in this country know he is fighting for them. I think PBO can handle it!

BOG
peace

Love my president. Voted for him 3 times and would do it again!

Gotta run~

you did!.. "gotta run"

Appreciation is not just gratitude, or appraisal of a gift, it is an increase within one's own being. It is deeply transformative.

face illustrates nicely just how much I appreciate both of them!

Look at Joe's look in the bottom one.

He holds probably the most stressful job in this country. But I am confident that he is up to the task.
