WOW. Check out this White House Gallery. "Behind the Stimulus Package"
Great Pics.

So much for no bipartisanship. They should show this pic, everytime the Repukes start whining.

Also its neat seeing him meeting privately with Conrad and talking on the phone to Republican Senators. Good Stuff

3. There is something very reassuring about watching
a real president at work.

4. An amazing set of photos, all with a purpose in mind
Obama is playing chess while the Republicans continue to play checkers. These photos show how the Senate and House Republicans were included and consulted; notice how the WH made a point of emphasizing Republican governors who support the stimulus package.
Obama is a great politician.

7. I love how they made it a point
to mention that the republicans were more interested in getting his autograph than asking questions about the stimulus plan.

24. Clamor for his autograph and vote against the stimulus.
Assholes. How many of those autographs are going to show up on eBay?

9. ABC News just showed the gallery on their broadcast....frankly it's a brilliant
move by the White House to show PROOF that they tried to reach out and got their hand smacked away by the babies in the GOP.

I hope a lot of folks see these!

18. The White House Museum!
Yeah! I hadn't been there since the election. It's wonderful to see that they've upgraded with President Obama's picture on the front page.

16. I love those pictures! This is my favorite
I don't know why. They're all great, but something about this...




I loved seeing the theater picture too (how did everyone fit in?) and this is the first time I noticed that picture of the Statue of Liberty on the wall. That's quite an interesting angle.

19. You beat me to it!
:rofl:

The furniture doesn't seem very Barack Obama either. I don't think he's changed anything except maybe the desk.

27. you know I think Obama can work in a box, he views the WH as
the peoples house. He is more concerned about the doing the work he has to do than his surroundings.

22. Arrogant lying Republican pieces of shit!
They are sooo phony, till it ain't even funny. They want to hang out with this cool smart new President, but because of who they are, they have to lie on him instead.

26. I think the Repigs heads should blow up when Obama's approval ratings
keep on going up, it is really them vs. us. The repigs have shown what a$$holes they are, and have always been.

29. Awesome. But.....please get rid of those blue chairs. Recover them or something.
I know there's a lot more other things to worry about but those chairs are hideous. ;-)

30. Does anyone ever eat the apples in the bowl???
I know I can hardly afford to buy them...so I'd hate for them to go to waste...now see....I would imagine that's about as important to Obama, as what desk he uses, or whether to change the carpet and drapes...the gov't is broke for crying out loud...spending money to redecorate when the room is perfectly ok...makes no sense to me...the most important point, is that...* is gone, and NO LONGER uses that office...fumigate it and then it will be fine as is....wb

33. Why does Obama always look like he's flirting when he's around women?
It's crazy. He's always giving these intense looks or when he kisses his ladies...it's always on the mouth. Meh...I wish I was one of them. :(
