11. That's the picture where I started to cry
This is the man we need running for office, to help restore our dignity around the world. This was an amazing tour for Obama - great job!

Such expressions of hope on all their faces. We NEED Obama as our President.

25. That's the one that blew me away as well
it's almost scary, too much expectation everywhere... too much thrown on his shoulders, he is almost bound to disappoint (no, this is not a criticism).

35. Yes! This is a beautiful, inspiring photo.

It embodies Obama's message of unity perfectly, and brought me to tears. It makes me want to work harder than ever.

8. The first thing that jumped out at me in the pictures was...
those three stupid potted plants in front of the podium, they look so out of place to me for some reason.

It looks like someone said "what do we do with these extra plants? I'll just stick them over here".

Is it just me?

15. I don't think so. It looks a little odd, all right. But it would have looked bleaker
without them. A nice touch in a homely sort of way.

16. I would say you are in a very small minority if that is your "first" impression of those photos.

34. Not really if you think about it
there are about 15 pictures and I am referring to numbers 3 and 4, pictures 1 and 2 were just him without the crowd for referance.

From picture 5 on I think "Holy crap! He is a rock star!"
I cannot wait to be able to vote for him again, but since I am in Texas I am afraid I will be in the minority.

44. When I see pics like this one


I think of the picture of W's crowd of soldiers that turned out to be photoshopped, with the same few soldeirs repeated all through the crowd.

Obama doesn't have to photoshop his huge crowds. They're for real.
