It's amazing having these two represent our country on the world stage.

1. Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:bounce:

[roguevalley]

21. she's making little dresses and full skirts chic again. I love her style.

[MannyGoldstein]

2. Finally! A President Who Can Stand Tough...

...against unanimous European disapproval. Who do the Europeans think they are, telling us not to give billions to bankers!!!

[Schema Thing]

5. that's not the message coming from Europe

at least get your criticism correct.

[Frustratedlady]

3. Wanta bet Merkel just told Obama of some idiotic trick Bush pulled...

on one of his visits (or, all of his visits)?

He had to have been the butt of jokes from many of the leaders.

What a contrast.

[a kennedy]

14. yeah, didn't * wink at the queen one time???

I heard that on the Joe Madison show this morning.......just so happy we've got a beautiful, and smart couple representing the US and us. :patriot:

[bdamomma]

16. or she is saying don't rub my shoulders!!!!

[Webster Green]

4. Quite a contrast to the chimp groping on foreign heads of state..

..and generally acting like a drunken idiot. :thumbsup:

[Trocadero]

6. The Obamas are beautiful

[CBR]

7. Yes they are! I am proud.

[azmouse]

8. All Americans should be proud.

:patriot:

[Cha]

9. I thought of representation

like this during the primaries and the general and just kept workin'!

[applegrove]

10. I'm proud and I live in Canada!

[MadMaddie]

11. Americans are breathing a sigh of relief that our President

and the First Lady will not embarrass us when we go to bed at night. We don't have to wake up the next morning and wonder what the hell did Beelzebub do now....those days are over.

[mecherosegarden]

12. Beelzebub, LOL!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Arugula Latte]

20. Beelzedubya

[FrenchieCat]

13. We are blessed! Finally!

[butterfly77]

23. That one is my favorite...

[bdamomma]

15. thank goodness hopefully our credibility is coming back

now we have to put the criminals like Cheney in prison, they are still out there.

[Pacifist Patriot]

17. *sigh* I really want her arms and her sense of style.

She is just spectacularly gorgeous.

What a contrast to Shrub et al. eh? Angela definitely does not look like she wants to dash from the room now that the U.S. president has arrived. The last time I saw a photo of her in the same room as George Bush she looked like she wanted to bolt and he wasn't anywhere near her.

[gristy]

18. The Queen looks terrific!

Michelle's looking good too.

[grace0418]

19. Angela Merkel must be so relieved that she's not going to get an unsolicited backrub.

Of course getting one from Mr. Obama is a very different matter than getting one from a coked-up chimp. Not that Barack would ever be that classless.

[Solomon]

22. She's probably thinking. "damn, now I don't get one".
