4. Isn't it nice that our President can go outside without the angry crowds of furious protesters?

It's been eight years. Wow. This is what it is like to not be embaressed by your President 24/7/365.

6. I can't believe people were rubbing his head! WTF?

You can't touch the Queen, but you can rub the head of the President of the United States? Yeah, no.

17. Great pictures! We went to Praha for our honeymoon back in '88. It is in my opinion

the most beautiful city in Europe. So nice to see President & Mrs Obama get such a warm greeting! I hope this is infuriating bu$H.
