You asked a while back when the other website stopped posting the pictures and someone else showed me this one. Lots of pictures, links and videos.

I have been to that site before. They do a great job of posting current photos and videos!

It seems to me like these photos I find at yahoo news load a little slowly, do you notice that too?

Thanks again.

After that vulgar, lying display in Florida this week, how refreshing to see our President showing his deep appreciation to our hard-working troops.

that reminded my of something I noticed lasst night. Even delegates last night were not clamoring with extended hands to shake Mitt's!

Democracy Now (today) showed altered MSM tape coverage of Mitt's arrival in the convention hall. They MSM edited out him shaking hands with David Koch! Really. People definitely were not going crazy to shake his hand....unlike what we see above for the President.
