(7,532 posts)Whenever any of those fake polls showing Obama as being an unpopular president are released, they ought to be responded to with pics like these. Not just with kids, but with adults as well. I'm an old man and I can say that this man is the most popular president EVER. He'd win a third term even if they re-animated Reagan.

(53,685 posts)The strain on the agents' faces is intense in that second to last shot. PBO going into crowds must be a nightmare for them, especially with the unprecedented number of death threats he gets.
