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.

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.

27. I know,
it makes me nervous. The more I see, the more impressed I am with the Secret Service, he certainly doesn't make their job easy.
