[Sanity Claws]

5. Great photos!

But check the caption for #24. That's Bo, not Michelle, and he and Barack are not waiting for anyone. Haha.

[Jackeens]

6. Blush. Wackiest caption muddle in the history of caption muddles!!!

:blush:

[babylonsister]

7. Wonderful-thank you! nt

[MarianJack]

8. OH MY GOSH, #9!

Thanks!

[pnorman]

9. This is among my all time favorites!

I imagine that iconic one of Bush and that squawling baby had been cherry picked. But has ANYONE here ever seen a "good" picture of him and a baby? Now O'Bama on the other hand......

pnorman.

[Jennicut]

10. Very adorable.

:)

[Enrique]

11. I like #28

the look on his face, I wonder what's in the NYT that day. Maybe a prediction that his stimulus plan is doomed?

[gblady]

12. I love that look....

on his face.....he is obviously getting a kick out of what he's reading.

[SadeMN]

13. I Love #15! n/t

[tblue37]

14. This caption ticks me off:

"OMG: Michelle and Carla discuss the moment when Michelle put her arm around the Queen, a breach of royal protocol."

If freaking Buckinham Palace says it was not a breach of protocol, then why are American reporters so determined to call it a breach of protocol? Besides, Queenie hugged Michelle first.

[Jackeens]

16. Yeah, I thought it was an odd caption too....

...apart from its inaccuracy it strikes me that that was a private conversation between Michelle and Carla - should a photographer given 'behind-the-scenes' access be using what they hear for a caption? :shrug:

[Patiod]

25. I think the caption is kidding about Carla's expression......nt

[Hekate]

15. #16 The girls with Grandma & the Butler: it puts me in mind of a book about DC's black community...

... that a friend gave to me on a visit there 10 years ago. Whenever I see how much out-and-about Michelle Obama is in Washington, I wonder if she has read "The Guide to Black Washington: Places and events of historical and cultural significance in the nation's capital" by Sandra Fitzpatrick and Maria R. Goodwin.

My old friend that I stayed with worked with Maria, and Maria gave me a copy. It makes for fascinating reading, as it is full of historical information about how the nation's capital is and always has been essentially a black city. It's not that the Obamas wouldn't know that, but Barack is from Hawai'i and Chicago and Michelle is from Chicago. This book goes way below the surface. I hope someone gave them a copy...

18. I hope so, too,

and/or her mother.

[JayMusgrove]

17. Gee, in #22....in Iraq.... how they manage to get all those soldiers to

act so enthusiastic, when we know all the soldiers don't like him????



:sarcasm:

[Lisa0825]

[Arkana]

27. The second one had me thinking that the guy was carrying the actual President Obama

for a split second.

[Flying Dream Blues]

28. They're all great! Since no one has mentioned the one with

Hillary, I will say I love seeing them looking so happy together. She's doing a great job and I think was an inspired choice.
Thanks, Jackeen!
