		<description>Let&#039;s just hope that this time Mr. &quot;wet behind the ears&quot; realizes that it is not polite to have loose lips after such a meeting and refrain from blabbing stuff to his staff that can&#039;t keep their mouths shut either. It is so unpresidential.</description>

		<description>Proud American: Do you have schizophrenia or are you bipolar? You trash President forever then you post that this is a&quot; Great picture of FIVE great men&quot;!! Then continue to trash him in the rest of your posts! I am patient with stupidity but not with those that are PROUD of it as you are! Nothing will divide this nation more than ignorance,and nothing can bring us together more than an educated population of which YOU are not!!</description>

		<description>Please pray for TCM, he spent his entire life thinking his Dad was a band of brothers and it turns out he Dad was in a band with drunks.  I&#039;m sure that has to be a horrible feeling for the little Idiot, and would explain why he&#039;s so bitter and hateful.</description>

Why didn&#039;t you run for President ????  You had your chance !

Only a handful of people wanted the job and they ran for office.   Obama won the majority of the votes.

		<description>Funny that W has the grey hair and Daddy doesn&#039;t.

Why is Obama wearing a blue tie and not red?

Obama looks the best and considering he&#039;s worked harder in the past year than all of the others put together.

Looking forward to the hope and future of the USA!

Thanks to all who were good and smart enough to vote for Obama.</description>

		<description>I agree with PY and KB. I may not agree with everything any of these men has or, in Obama&#039;s case, will do, but it it is a pretty awe-inspiring thought: Only a handful of people know what it&#039;s like to be a president of the United States. Whether you like them or not you need, to some degree, respect the office a bit. 

I do not like G. W. Bush&#039;s policies and I believe his administration must be called into account, but I think the shoe-throwing incident was terrible and unfortunate. And, to his credit, G. W. Bush seemed gracious and sincere in his comments to Obama. Anyone living in this country right now has a stake in whether or not we succeed. As citizens we need to both respect the office and criticize the policies as we see fit.

Finally, enough of the polarizing rhetoric from all sides, citizens and politicians alike. Let&#039;s give each other the space to discuss and disagree respectfully.</description>

		<description>TCM and WELCOME, Give it a rest! Bush has caused all the carnage...Obama&#039;s gonna have to get a big shovel to undo all the damage. What are you so afraid of? A black man? Job creation? Ending a nonsensical war that caused far more deaths than 9-11? Honesty in the Justice Department? Accountability? No torture of anyone? A return to fiscal responsibility? Someone who says what he means instead of &quot;So what?&quot; Methinks you both protest too much.</description>

		<description>Okay, I know this picture is the snap shot of the year for sure, however, it was also a bit revealing too.  Mr. Obama, from what I&#039;ve read, was the one who suggested the luncheon to Pres. Bush at their initial meeting after he won the election.  I think Mr. Obama has an ambitious spirit within.  It was a cunning move.   It was a political move for him.  Of course the other president&#039;s are going to play along.  They belong to a priveleged group, so naturally they should enjoy the accolades.  But don&#039;t be too awed.  Mr. Obama knows what he&#039;s doing...he&#039;s in the driver&#039;s seat.</description>

		<description>Yeah, he wants him to succeed, but can&#039;t let his family use the EMPTY Blair House, easy to secure, for two weeks. Instead, let Obama waste taxpayer money by staying in a hard-to-secure hotel for 10 days, move into Blair, then into the White House. Bush, you are a piece of work.</description>

It&#039;s been pure luck that we haven&#039;t been hit again.</description>

This has nothing to do with &quot;you just try being president for one day...&quot;  It&#039;s the simplest thing in the world to know that things like torturing people or holding them without due process or lying to justify a war that will kill thousands upon thousands of people (ours and theirs) and WRONG.  These things are no-brainers....so is Bush.</description>
