CAMP DAVID, MD - MAY 19: (L-R) British Prime Minister David Cameron, U.S. President Barack Obama, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and European Council President Herman Van Rompuy make their way to participate in a group photo during the 2012 G8 Summit at Camp David on May 19, 2012 in Camp David, Maryland.

Great weather here today.

4. almost perfect

. . . could feel and smell summer in the air for the first time, even with our persistent breeze we've had for months now.

24. That is refreshing. And Obama changed the theme from austerity to growth. Good going, Mr. President!

[MineralMan]

2. For a second, there, I though Obama was making "bunny ears"

in that last photo but, no such luck.

5. No... a second round of humiliation from an American president would seem just a bit over the top.

14. Me, too. Or he was patting her on the head. Silly vision.

17. I had the same thought!

9. President Obama looks to have struck up a good relationship with the French president

16. Nice. I'm feeling good all over again.

Maybe actual ideas are being discussed rather than President Sarkozy's favorite topic. Himself.

21. That site makes my 5' 9" self feel not so short, anymore!

I'm in Upper Midwest uber-tall Norskie land, so I'm short compared to most men around here!

Ahma-nut-job is only 5-2? no wonder he has issues!

8. After 8 years of embarrassment,

it's nice to be proud of our President once again.

15. 8 long years of having

yet another Bush in the White House.

For that pain that we had to endure -- now we have a smart, kind, good looking
President ~Get Out The Vote!

22. Bush Was such an idiot......

Repigs have nothing to do but make him look bad, any kind of ..IST marxist, socialist, hopefully, if there
is a god he will be kind enough to let them disrobe before he sends them all to hell so their white hoods
are not permanently melded to their briquette little brains....IMHO.

10. I like the rolled-up-sleeves look

...and the lack of ties all around. Nice pictures!

[bigtree]

12. All the guests but new French President Francois Hollande dressed casually

. . . with open collars and blazers.

"Francois, we said you could take off the tie," Obama said, ribbing him.

Hollande smiled with a look of protest: "For my press..."

Obama responded: "For your press, you must look good."

19. When is someone going to change the name of Camp David?

It was named after Eisenhower's useless grandson.

Why not name it after someone who actually did something for the country like General Smedley Butler?

[freshwest]

23. I suggest you create an online petition to correct that grievous error.

At least it wasn't named after David Koch, was it?
