PHOTOS: Obama and Clintons at the Tubbs ceremony

[Thrill]

1. Sharing a laugh over the Palin pick, and sharing sad moments of Tubbs memory.

Great photos.

[musicblind]

2. I think she has a chance of being somewhere in Obama's cabinet

and I think that is awesome. Even MORE motivation to vote for him (though he gives more than enough on his own). I could see her as Health Secretary.

The next four years are going to be amazing!


Edit for typo.

[ronnykmarshall]

The next EIGHT years are going to be amazing!

[LonelyLRLiberal]

5. I sure hope so - she could fill any cabinet post with her knowledge and experience.

She needs to have a very high profile position - maybe SOS?

[Hope And Change]

11. Absolutely.I think Sen Clinton would make a great Health Secretary.

18. Oveta Culp Hobby's post from the mid-50s? I don't think so. Thanks, but no thanks.

Here you go...

16. She could but the Senate position has more visibility

If she moves to the cabinet it means she's given up running again.

[endthewar]

21. The real question is whether she will take that position

I honestly don't know. She might just prefer to stay as a Senator instead of becoming a cabinet member.

[Barack_America]

29. She can have it if she wants it, but she will have more power in the Senate...

And I think she knows that.

She's poised to carry Teddy's torch, and that's more of an honor than any Cabinet position.

3. Very nice photos

from a very sad event. I really like the two photos of Bill and Barack interacting. :7

4. Oh man.

Thanks for these wonderful pictures.

They made me all weepy.

23. You softie you .. me, too.

6. Awww, I love these pictures!

I think I was one of the bitter Obama supporters because I honestly felt betrayed by some of Hillary's actions because I wanted her to act with class and not go to certain places. But now I'm alright with the Clintons. I really feel that they're all friends because those smiles are the real deal. I think Stephanie Tubbs-Jones would have liked that they bonded during her reception.

7. I love the 5th picture of Bill and Barrack.

Clearly honest, sincere affection.

All through the primaries I thought that if Hillary weren't running, Bill would be Obama biggest supporter.

[Franks Wild Years]

25. I think for Bill Clinton...

...that the reception he received at the convention might have been the final bit of catharsis needed. I think he felt the love, so to speak, and realised that whatever differences were there during the primaries that his people still think the world of him and, above all, *need* an Obama win in November to stand any chance at recovering and then prospering.

[Bigleaf]

8. That's some serious fucking talent right there. Wish the event was a happier one.

It's nice to see them together.

[Thrill]

9. She was a very close friend of Hillary

I know its tough on her

[NJmaverick]

10. Great pictures and they show just how well the rift between Obama

and Hillary has been healed

[Captain Hilts]

19. "Politics ain't beanbag" and they all know it. They 'get' it. The folks on DU do not. nt

12. Hey, Barark let's have a President's Club fist bump.

[Hope And Change]

13. K & R!Thanks for posting!

[flamingdem]

14. Focus back on our excellent candidate and the Clintons support for him plz!!! nt

[MadMaddie]

15. Watching the funeral on CSPAN

It a moving service!

[Mike Nelson]

17. BEAUTIFUL!

I think something changed during the "negotiations" for the convention. They figured out how to make the relationships work for everyone. With the Clintons on board, it's looking more and more like a win in November. Biden certainly helped, too.

[elkston]

20. This is great! They're genuinely starting to look comfortable around each other. n/t

[endthewar]

22. Those 2 photos of Bill and Obama near the end are priceless

The one where he lightly taps him and then leans over to talk with him. :-)

[DangerousRhythm]

24. Sad circumstances, beautiful pictures.

Thank you for sharing these. It's nice to see the three of them together, unified. :)

[ObamaKerryDem]

27. Exactly. :)

Nice to see them all together, getting along..too bad it's at such a tragic occassion, though. :(

[Emit]

26. Oh wow, thanks for posting!

Wow, just wow. Very nice. My heart goes out to the Tubbs family.

Nice chemistry b/w Obama and the Clintons, too

[BlueStateGirl]

28. Wow. These pictures make me feel that it is all going to be okay

It's good to see Barak and Bill together.

Obviously wish it was a different occassion.

[GrizzlyMan]

30. Bill looks truly happy

Never thought I'd see the day. The funny thing is, in different circumstances they would have been great allies from the get-go, but I guess it's never too late.

[elkston]

36. I think that after hearing Barack's speech and how he's handled the convention...

he (Bill Clinton) knows that they picked the right guy. He will fight for the Democrats.

[FrenchieCat]

31. Together, we can make a difference....

[glitch]

32. So sad. K & R

Thank you for the healing pictures.

[K Gardner]

33. GORGEOUS pics !

[vanderBeth]

34. These are great pics

From such a sad event. The relationship between Obama and the Clintons looks dynamic.

[sniffa]

35. Great pix

Any idea who the standing-O is for in pic 4?

[Empowerer]

38. I think it was for Barack

At several points in the service, the audience gave him a standing ovation and the Clintons joined in.

[EffieBlack]

37. So beautiful how they came together to honor Stephanie Tubbs Jones

Even in death, she is having a positive impact on us all.

Rest in peace, good woman.

[Withywindle]

39. Kick and thank you.

I know Rep. Tubbs-Jones would be happy to see them getting along so well at last.

[quiet.american]

40. Thank you for posting! They all spoke so genuinely lovingly of Rep. Tubbs Jones. nt

Goodbye, Ms. Tubbs-Jones.
