Just wanted to share this with our group

[marym625]

I have posted this in threads a couple times but never in an OP (that I can recall) Moving pictures from one device to another and thought I would share

That's me he has his hand on

[Omaha Steve]

1. Well the Cavers won't believe it

They swear your Marta.

[marym625]

4. heehee

That's hilarious!

[yallerdawg]

23. You should post your pictures in Obama group!

You would get a whole 'nother level of fans!

You Democrat you!

[marym625]

28. I'm a Democrat alright!

A socialist Democrat by today's definition. Thanks!

[Snotcicles]

2. Looks like he was enjoying your presents. nt

[marym625]

5. I didn't give him anything!

I swear!

We had a nice chat. About 10 minutes. Don't remember a word but I have another picture with me where he's laughing. It's all good!

[Snotcicles]

7. Looks like the smile you gave him was all it took.

[marym625]

8. awe, thanks!

[Snotcicles]

11. LOL, presence, duh I'm a dumbass. nt

[marym625]

19. I just assumed you were kidding

It's all good!

[Snotcicles]

24. It is funny. Your no briber are ya? Hey Prez how about giving us something on overtime rules? nt

[marym625]

35. LOL!

I don't have anything I could bribe anyone with. Not unless $5 would do it

[Snotcicles]

38. $5 hmm, we'll see if we can't get ya a couple ATV's for your local swat team. nt

[marym625]

40. LMAO! Probably!

[SoapBox]

3. Wow!

That's pretty cool.

Closest that I've been to a President was seeing Air Force One (Clinton) at JFK, waiting to take off. And the back of Jimmy Carter getting into a car, on the ramp at Hartsfield.

You actually touched a President.

[marym625]

6. That is still pretty damn cool!

I flipped off bush and he looked right at me

Not that many people, in the scheme of things, have seen a President in person

[virtualobserver]

29. Post Presidency?

either way, you have courage.

[marym625]

36. nope

2005 counter inauguration

[virtualobserver]

49. Then I stand in awe of you....

I would not have had the courage to do that.

[marym625]

53. It was easy.

He had already started the war in Iraq and I had a few relatives either there or about to go. So it took no courage. Just anger

[daleanime]

78. Of which we all had plenty....

he give us enough reasons.

But please tell me you have a picture of that.

[marym625]

81. I wish

I really wish I did. My sister was with me and got the camera out too late. Happened too quickly

[mmonk]

66. Would love to see a picture of that.

[marym625]

69. Wish I had one!

The counter inauguration was great. They sure did mess with us though. Kept people as far away as possible if they knew why we were there. Which was usually pretty obvious

[Scuba]

87. My esteem for you continues to rise.

[marym625]

93. Thank you, Scuba! That means a great deal to me!

[BrotherIvan]

9. That's amazing

Definitely a keeper.

[marym625]

10. Thanks!

It is definitely a keeper. Was pretty awesome.

[BrotherIvan]

12. Flipping off Bush is also a badge of honor

Wear it proudly. Now go get a picture with our next future president!

[marym625]

13. wish I had a picture

Of when I met President Carter, VP Mondale or astronaut Col. James Irwin. Have a picture of my dad with the latter but I was just a little kid.

[BrotherIvan]

15. That is impressive

Living in LA, it's pretty hard to get that close access, or maybe I'm too lazy to sit in traffic. I never really see presidents as everyday people because I have never met one. I think it's cool to see them and get a read for them. I have met Pelosi a few times, and well...

[marym625]

17. That's pretty cool, meeting Pelosi

Even if we don't agree on politics, except for a few Republican Presidents, it's cool meeting powerful people.

I met Carter and Mondale because a friend of my dad's (my dad was in politics) in the village we lived in, was Mondale's sister in law. I was friends with 2 of his nieces and campaigned for both. Lucked out.

[BrotherIvan]

70. Nice

I met Pelosi just after she had become speaker. Let's just say none of the poors at the event fell in love.

[marym625]

71. LOL!

Could have been worse. Could have been Boehner!

[Triana]

14. You gotta print that up and FRAME it!

Both of you look GREAT!

Congrats!

[marym625]

16. That's not a bad idea!

I have very few pictures up and none of me. Didn't even think about it. Thanks!

[Dont call me Shirley]

18. You're beautiful inside and out, marym625!

[marym625]

20. awe! how very sweet!

Thank you very much!

You are as well, I'm sure!

[Dont call me Shirley]

25. Thank you...

[historylovr]

21. Very cool!

My in-laws met Jimmy Carter when they were flying back from visiting family in France. The closest I ever got to a head of state was when my co-worker and I briefly left the ATC tower and waved down at German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, who waved back. (It was a quiet afternoon, save for that one arrival.)

[marym625]

30. Those are both cool!

I just got really lucky.

Did they, your in laws, get to speak with him? I think he's one of the best people on the planet

[historylovr]

37. Yes, they did.

President Carter was going through the plane shaking hands and talking with everyone before departure. I agree; he really is.

[marym625]

39. WOW!

That's awesome!

[passiveporcupine]

22. I'd give anything to meet Obama

It's wonderful. You are so lucky!

[marym625]

31. I was. no 2 ways about it!

[Fla Dem]

26. Lucky you, and to get a great picture as well! Must have been a while ago. No gray hair yet! nt

[marym625]

32. my friend snapped 2 pictures

I like this one the best. Yes, was from 2008 I think. Living in Chicago helped.

[Hiraeth]

27. What a fantastic keepsake photo!!

I know you treasure it. It is a great photo. Thanks for sharing it, marym625.

[marym625]

33. Thank you

I wish I knew who that was in the middle. Would like to give her a copy

[Hiraeth]

76. Maybe, Try posting it on FB - who knows.

[marym625]

79. I actually did

Back when I used to Facebook. Nothing. But thanks for the thought.

Maybe she actually has it already. Or one day will pop up on some social media site. Ya never know

[progressoid]

34. Yeah, that's not something that happens every day!

Coolio!

[marym625]

46. nope. I was really lucky

[jwirr]

41. Very neat picture. Lucky Lady.

[marym625]

47. Thank you, my friend!

[jwirr]

57. Welcome.

[marym625]

59. I've been telling people, btw,

4 per jwirr for the four corners of the earth

[jwirr]

60. Yes. What we do here in the US effects everyone on the earth.

[marym625]

62. It's sort of mind boggling

I know there are people in the US that follow the politics/elections of many other countries. But on average, not so much. I only do when things are crazy. Lately, that's but pretty much the norm. But people in other countries watch us all the time. And for good reason.

One of my favorite protest songs is from France and it talks about bush, among many other things.


Keny Arkana - La Rage

[jwirr]

64. Wow.

[marym625]

65. Yeah, I know!

Someone here introduced me to her. That song is just mind blowing. Glad you like it

[jwirr]

67. This thing with Greece has really opened the world up us here on DU. So interesting what our

DUers can contributed to the understanding of what has happened.

[marym625]

68. so true!

And if Greg Palast writes about it, that's always helpful when looking for truth!

DU is a great source of information!

[hamsterjill]

42. A special moment!

Glad you got to do it! And glad you have a picture for a momento.

[marym625]

48. I was thrilled when I found out my friend got a couple pictures

Thanks!

[tazkcmo]

43. Cool!

I got to meet President Ford when he came to our football practice. It was unannounced and the team was floored as we were in the "poor kids" league where we rented our equipment and our jerseys were donated from schools that bought new ones. I liked it cuz we only had 13 kids on the team so I got lots of playing time. And President Ford was real nice.

[marym625]

50. That's very cool!

You don't hear about Presidents doing that too often!

[Sienna86]

44. What a great moment.

Very cool.

[marym625]

51. Thanks!

[mountain grammy]

45. Wow, very, very cool..

I would be so excited.

[marym625]

52. Thanks! Believe me, I was!

[dorkzilla]

54. Gotta ask you - is he as handsome in real life?

I met President Clinton when I was walking my dog in a park near where we both live, and he stopped me to talk about the dog (he was a gorgeous and GIGANTIC chocolate lab/Great Dane mix) and we chatted about 10 minutes. I can tell you after that I understood why he was such a hit with the ladies. Great looking, charismatic, the whole 9 yards. Obama seems to me to be that type as well (I think they have similar birthdates so maybe its a Leo thing).

When the man smiles, I swoon...

[marym625]

55. Yep.

Certainly would have hit on him if he weren't married. Knowing me, I was probably flirting.

Extremely cool to hear Clinton was so friendly. Glad you got to meet him!

[dorkzilla]

56. How could you not?

He looks pretty happy in the picture, so I bet you were beguiling him.

[marym625]

58. I don't know about that,

But I'll go along with it

I know I talked politics. I know I acted with confidence. But can't remember a word that was said. Inside I was melting

[MannyGoldstein]

61. That's pretty amazing!

The closest I ever got to a President was Bush Jr., I happened to be staying in the hotel next to his in Indianapolis. Damned snipers or whatever scary people that were on roof kept their eyes on me as I walked to and from the hotel.

You look like the sunny person I'd expect from your writing.

I'm envious!

[marym625]

63. ah! Good old Jr.

Thanks, Manny, that's such a sweet thing to say!

It was very cool! Doubt I will ever be that lucky again

[MannyGoldstein]

74. Perhaps you'll chat with Bernie at one of his inaugural balls

Wait... Bernie have an inaugural ball? I have a thought...

[marym625]

75. Do tell, my good man!

[MannyGoldstein]

77. For your amusement (or derision):

[marym625]

80. I think I have the perfect idea

[MerryBlooms]

72. Awesome.

[marym625]

73. heehee. Thanks!

[Depaysement]

82. Beautiful photo

Thanks for sharing!

[marym625]

83. Thank you!

[HappyPlace]

84. Wow!

You both look great!

Lucky you!

[marym625]

89. Thank you, HappyPlace

[raven mad]

85. I would have had my hand preserved in plexiglass............ or resin!

You are such a wonderful woman, and you got to shake the hand of one of the best presidents ever!

[marym625]

90. Awe, thank you so much!

LOL on the hand preserved! Would make it very difficult to do anything. But, I guess I could take things out of the oven without an oven mit

[lovemydog]

86. Great photo marym625!

Everyone in the photo looks great. It looks like you really made him smile. He's pretty tall, huh?

[marym625]

91. Thank you!

I just looked it up. He's 6'1" So, tall but not extremely tall. I'm 5'2 1/2" I don't think I had heals on that day but I might have. Guess it was a pretty short crowd

[merrily]

88. Nice! K & R

[marym625]

92. Thank you, merrily!

[artislife]

94. I would have loved to have been in your shoes

After it all, I still admire this man.

[marym625]

95. He was elected to the highest office in the land twice

Yeah, me too. Anyone elected into that office I am still going to respect.
