1. Great pics, but you might want to add "dial up warning" to your subject line!

I am on DSL and these are loading slowly....

[Kadie]

4. I have noticed that too.

I found these at news.yahoo.com and they are slower than where I used to find pics. (the other place stopped hosting pics for public use)

The quality is nice, but they do load slow.

I might have to find another way of doing this.

[Cha]

15. Day Life stopped letting

people use their pics?!

Thanks for these Kadie! They're gorgeous~

[bigtree]

30. maybe get a photobucket account

resizing them there will eliminate the jpg or png ending you need to post here, however. I suggest taking the pics in on your computer that you want to post, re-size them in your personal photoshop (I use dell pictures, but there are many others) and upload them to photobucket and get your link that way. That's what I do.

[Kadie]

38. I will probably start doing this.

Thanks bigtree! I sure do miss daylife though! It was easy to navigate, and had a great selection of pictures.

[Drunken Irishman]

2. Might be the largest crowd yet of 2012...

[dballance]

3. Perhaps Romney needs to think about being popular 'cause Obama sure has him beat on that

And his wife queen Ann is not helping. I am quite certain if you look up "smug" in the dictionary there will be pictures of Ann and Mitt. Just makes me want to slap the shit out of them.

11. Annie is the successor to Leona "Only the Little (You) People Pay Taxes" Helmsley.

Leona left a fortune to her little dog--will Annie leave a bundle to her horsies?

[gateley]

5. What a beautiful setting! In the third pic,

there's a boy pretty much front and center -- gray t-shirt. I don't know why, but for some reason I find the expression on his face very moving and touching.

I'm happy to see that in the last pic, it looks like he maybe got to shake Obama's hand.

Wonderful pics as always, Kadie -- thanks again!

[MADem]

13. That little "Opie Taylor" kid on his dad's shoulders is the luckiest little shit in the pic!

What a great spot to see history!

[ailsagirl]

39. Wow, except for not having red hair, he really does look like Opie!

[MADem]

42. "Gee Paw, wouldn't Aint Bee just love to see the President?"

"She sure would Ope--she'd like to be swoonin' about now! Ah kin jus' hear her saying "Oooooh, AHHHHN-DY! There he IS! Isn't he HAAAAND-some?"

[renate]

16. wow, I bet you kick butt at "where's Waldo"!

You're right about the look on his face (I hadn't seen him and was glad you got me to go back and look), but I'm so impressed that you noticed him in the last picture, too--great powers of observation!

[BeyondGeography]

6. You listen to a few bars of Romney and you can't wait to hear real music

[Bernardo de La Paz]

7. "FORWARD" -- Good meme, good framing, consonant with four more years. nt

[grantcart]

31. Even got the angle that has the Church into it.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

33. Forward, not backward

[Iliyah]

8. Look at America!

And Pres O don't need his VP to get crowds huh R&R - LOL

[abolugi]

9. Yes!!

Its a wonderful sea of REAL Americans.
This is the "REAL" America, you unpatriotic rubes!!

[slor]

10. Chris Cornell was there?

My favorite singer. In another post, I saw that he was on the promotion flyer.

[Inspired]

27. Yes, he was! So was The National.

It was a fantastic event. Very large crowd and so inspiring.

[bluemarkers]

12. Are they welfare queens in disquise

those poor black people look an awful like middle class middle America melting pot....

Perhaps Romney was off base when talking about Obama's base? lol

















.

[NICO9000]

14. Now that's what modern America looks like!

Unlike the aged white folks at NaziCon 2012 this past week...

[Chorophyll]

17. Great pics! Beautiful! nt

[BrainMann1]

18. Go get them Prez!

[xtraxritical]

19. I saw a little bit of Romney giving a speech this morning and the camerman had to always be tight

on Romney because if he panned out the "crowd" would have been pathetic.

[Bluzmann57]

21. AMF

I ain't talking about the golf cart brand. And I'm just curious, did you mean "Filled with fools"? Because as far as I know, filoled is not a word. Either way, see ya!

[progressivebydesign]

23. "cumadin" means clueless on the planet Xoltar. n/t

[Bluzmann57]

35. Lol.

Thanks for clearing that up. I suppose I should study up on my Xoltarese. Or something.

[MADem]

43. It's a blood thinner commonly used after heart attacks. Guess this guy's blood was a bit

overly-thinned, which can have negative cognitive effects, certainly and cause premature death! It is also marketed as warfarin--in sufficient doses, it can kill.

It is a common ingredient in some rat poisons, as it prevents clotting--the guy wasn't terribly smart OR subtle. But then, they never are.

[ailsagirl]

40. The atrocious spelling is indicative of a troll

[MrMickeysMom]

22. This also resembles a great deal more.. Americans...

Americans hoping to move forward, I might add.

[progressivebydesign]

24. What? Young people and Seniors cheering on the President? But the Romney and the MSM sez no!

Gosh.. if you listen to Cryin/Lyin 2010, you'd think that the President would draw nothing but his base "welfare folks" and certainly NO young people (because they're all entranced with Lyin Ryan's abs and marathon record (oops!) And the seniors just LOVE Cryin Romney, or so they say.

But then I look at these pics and I see all kinds of people.. all ages.

[Graybeard]

25. Wonderful pics.

I love the church in the background.

And the picket fence.

**** America Supports President Obama ****

[JDPriestly]

26. Wonderful!

[progress2k12nbynd]

28. Biggest celebrity in politics for sure. nt

[BlueStreak]

29. Des Moines, Iowa, Pop 206,599

Looks like a fair percentage were at this event today.

[TahitiNut]

32. Urbandale, Iowa, Population 40,311 .... at least 25% of whom are there.

Amazing.

[BlueStreak]

34. Urbandale is part of Greater Des Moines

With a regional population well under a half million, this is an amazing turnout for an event 60 days before the election.

I have stopped arguing facts with the right-wingers who want to send me email trash every day. Now I am just sending them pictures of these huge crowds each day. That is really demoralizing to them. They never understand there are only 5% in this country who feel the way they do. when they listen to Faux and Limbaugh, they deceive themselves into believing they are actually the majority. These pictures are a stake through their hearts.

Bring on the pictures.

Romney has evidently already conceded Pennsylvania. He really can't afford to concede any more states like Iowa.

[Kalidurga]

36. Obama could have talked to an empty chair...

but, it looks like all the seats were taken. And he is too nice to have someone give up a seat.

[Jamaal510]

37. He's too nice to mock East Clintwood like that.

[ailsagirl]

41. I see people all across the spectrum... yet "those people" say Obama is a divider

Maybe they believe the more they say it, the sooner it will become true??

Crazy as hell


Obama =

[olegramps]

44. President Obama had a huge audience in Boulder, CO.

The Denver Post, more accurately known as the Denver Republican Post, showed a picture that was chosen solely to diminish the great turnout. It only showed Obama and a few attendees. Typical crap from a worthless rag. Their OPED page is dominated by crackpot right wing freaks. It is as Fair and Balanced as FOX and Pravda.

[a kennedy]

45. OMG....

Is that to much??? I LOVE THESE PICTURES!!!!! THANK YOU IOWA!!!!!
