(is now a bad time for a photo thread?)

[Jackeens]

:hide:

Okay, let's get it out of the way: I'm a contemptible, mindless, brainless, dimwitted, hero-worshiping, Obama-loving imbecile who deserves to die a slow and tortuous death. And that, frankly, is being kind.

Right, that's done. Meanwhile, to all those on DU still fighting the good fight and attempting to give the fella some support in the face of unremitting bile-laden attacks, this if for you.....as the song goes, "don't let the b******s grind you down", and never forget how you felt that night. Stand by him. :thumbsup:

[DevonRex]

Thank you.

Bless you for trying.

:thumbsup:

[JayMusgrove]

4. There is never a bad time for photo's of our hero. But..

Now before someone tells me my hero isn't perfect, I'll say he's just a man, a human being, and we all really like that about him too.

Now can we remember where we were a year ago? And how far we have come in less than 3 months?

[Lisa0825]

5. Thank you, Jackeens!

This is SO exactly what I needed! :pals:

[blaze]

6. Never a bad time!

Thanks Jackeens!! :hi:

[Cha]

7. No, it's an awesome time for pics from Jackeens..

landing right in the middle of "Fuck You, Obama"..that thread is allowed to stand and one asking why the mods allowed the place to get like this is Locked.

[CakeGrrl]

10. Thanks again! #18 is great

You know who gives him the "Don't let the assholes get you down" support that's probably very much appreciated.

Oops...meant this to be a reply to the OP. :-)

[kaiden]

8. Thank you so much, Jackeens!

[Jackeens]

9. firedupdem, Top Cat, DevonRex, Scurrilous, JayMusgrove, Lisa0825, Blaze, Cha and Kaiden....

...unlike me you're not hero-worshipers, but you ARE my heroes! You have been subjected to nothing but venom these past few days, but your good hearts keep you going. You are GREAT people, I love you all.

[Cha]

11. Thanks, Jackeens..that's very

sweet. No way the anti-Obama crowd is going to take over this board.

[Kaleko]

46. A great song to go with your great collection, Jackeens:

12. I'd say it's a perfect time

Hard to believe how quickly people forget just what we have. Not me. Not by a long shot. Thanks for the pics. I thought I already had all the best ones ;)

You rock, kiddo. And don't worry. Too many of us worked too long and too hard to let any of the b******s grind us, or the President down.

[jenmito]

13. K&R! I've never seen some of these. THANK YOU!

:hi:

[nickyt]

14. Thank you, Jackeens! - I ain't forgot neither!!!

[Barack_America]

15. It's a night that I will never forget. I honestly still cry every time I think of it.

Including now.

[Adelante]

16. Blessings upon you, Jackeens

:)

[Brazenly Liberal]

17. It is never ever ever

a bad time for a Jackeens photo thread! And with all the carping and complaining and growing ignore lists, this is a breath of fresh air!

Thank you once again!

[Brazenly Liberal]

18. PS: K&R nt :)

:hi:

[Dinger]

19. Perfect Timing : )

And does anyone know where that picture of of the little boys on their dads' shoulders in Grant Park (I think) on election day (or was it inauguration day?). The little white boy gave his Obama sign to the little African American boy, and they held hands and smiled. An absolutely beautiful picture!

[gblady]

38. these boys?

[Dinger]

39. Yes, Thank You!

That gives me goosebumps!

[Spazito]

40. I LOVE that sequence of photos....

they say so much!

[Tarheel_Dem]

47. Thanks for finding that, gblady. Now I'm all blubbery again. (nt)

:yourock:

[babylonsister]

20. Thank you. Peace and love back at you, Jackeens. nt

[DKRC]

21. K&R!

Thanks!

:hug:

[CBR]

22. These are fantastic!!

Thank you!

[kid a]

23. I'll give a K and R to this! =)

[camera obscura]

24. Even when I disagree with Obama, I always like your photo threads

I can tell you put a lot of effort into finding all these pics & they're great to look at.

[horseshoecrab]

25. peace & love back Jackeens

Thank you so much. :hug:

And k&r too!

[Number23]

26. The first time I have EVER rec'd a photo thread

This one deserves it...

[BlooInBloo]

27. Just to forestall any such questions in the future...

It's NEVER a bad time for one of your photo threads.

EDIT: Ever.

[SpookyCat]

28. Always happy to see your threads, Jackeens .

I should reply more often to give you props, but know I always click on them and always enjoy them. Ignore the haters, they aren't worth your time. :hug:

I still get teary when I remember election night. Ah, what a great night! I'm a raging sentimentalist (read: wuss) so sue me! LOL!

[jkshaw]

29. Jackeens, I've always loved your picture threads, but also

your name. Does it have anything to do with Dublin? I remember reading a mystery set in Ireland in which Jackeens were Dubliners (I think). Perhaps I'm dreaming, but anyway I love your name.

[Jennicut]

31. Isn't she Irish? Thanks Jackeens!

Sigh. How quickly we forget, especially the fear that we might lose and it would be stolen or something. I will never forget that feeling.

[Jackeens]

89. Hi jkshaw

You are spot on! Jackeen is slang for someone from Dublin, where I live - I couldn't think of any other username when I signed up, so Jackeen I am! You certainly know your Dublin, well spotted!

:-)

[NYC_SKP]

30. Sweet! Thank you, I really needed a Jackeens thread today!

:hi:

Recommended!

[FrenchieCat]

32. Thank you.

that's for all of the "are we there yet?" folks without patience.

[Aristus]

33. Right with you, Jackeens. Barack Obama is STILL my Presidential man-crush!

Here are some pics of my happiness:

Election Day:



Inauguration Day:

[AZBlue]

34. THANK YOU!

You brought tears to my eyes and filled my heart with joy.
I've bookmarked this to return to in the future.
As always, thank you for your wonderful photo threads.
:hug:

[cboy4]

35. Here's a photo of me reacting to you losing your internet service

lol

[Spazito]

36. Perfect timing, absolutely perfect!

Love your sense of humour as well. Get the gripes out right off the bat, lol.

I have to say I had never seen this photo before:




Holy crap, that is an awesome photo!

[Joe the Liberal]

37. That was truly a night to remember........

Kinda like that scene out of Star Wars Return of the Jedi, right after the empire was defeated. :rofl:

[Fire1]

41. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Always enjoyable!!!

:hug:

[Kaleko]

42. The German newspaper headline in pic # 21 says,

"Obama's Triumph Moves the World".

People forget that Obama really has moved the whole world a step closer to realizing we are one.

[newview88]

43. Thank you thank you thank you!!

I was starting to lose hope for DU. Thank you for bringing something other than hate and MSM bull to the site.

[Tarheel_Dem]

44. Jackeens, you know exactly what we need, and when we need it. Cheers to you....

:toast:

[gblady]

45. From the final debate.....Lest we ever forget......(graphic warning)

these were our choices....












(hope this wasn't too much of a downer in this joyous thread...
but I think this site needs a reminder of how extremely lucky we are!!!)

[firedupdem]

50. Thanks for making me laugh! What a dufus mctongue is! I would

be a sick woman if he was running this country. Michelle was rockin' her dress!!

[Withywindle]

54. Blargh! We dodged a bullet!

I will never forget that McCain't "air quotes" moment - he put them around "women's health" or "the health of the mother."

Because that's such a joke to him. :puke:

[SemiCharmedQuark]

63. "Dick Fingers!"

[goclark]

48. Keep them ccoming! We love our President and your photos

are the best ever!

[xenussister]

49. Peace and love to you too.

I don't know what this is in reaction to because I don't read any of the critical posts. I figure they're all just by freepers trying to agitate so my eye just scans looking for your posts and for informational posts.

[BattyDem]

51. Thank you for this!

:hi: :toast:

[Dinger]

52. I Like The Pic Of The Soldiers,

and all the rest too, except dick and bu$h of course. I remember that I kept waiting for someone to puch dick down the steps in his wheelchair, just like in the movie "Bad Boys," (Sean Penn).

[mecherosegarden]

53. Thank you, thank you, thank you ! N/T

[Withywindle]

55. Thank you, Jackeens - I think these threads are *always* appropriate.

I want to say, yes, yes, Rudy, I will never forget how I felt on 9/11, nu uh.

But I think remembering how I felt on 11/4 is even more important. Anger and fear are thin gruel. Not nutritious. They're like trucker speed pills - they can get you wired to do a job in the short term, but they are not much in the sustainability and long-term survival department.

Now, joy and hope, you can live a long time on those. They'll get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no joy.

[Hekate]

56. Thank you, sweetie, I needed that. This place has gone mad, but you made me smile.

:hug:

[Undercurrent]

57. Maybe I'm just a silly old gal, but

taking this little walk down memory lane made me cry all over again.

Thanks!

[namahage]

58. Thank you for these.

I know I can count on one of your threads to remind me why I keep coming back.

Bless you, Jackeens.

[SeattleGirl]

59. Not a bad time at all, Jackeens!

And may I say, the Obamas are fabulous huggers!

Sigh.

I'd love to be hugged like that.

[lamp_shade]

60. What a beautiful spirit-lifting essay. Thank you Jackeens. Thank you.

[PatSeg]

61. Awww

Perfect timing! Thanks.

[indimuse]

62. WOW!

Fantastic shots.Although #25 put me off....


Thanks so much. :) knr.

[SecularMotion]

64. Thank You Jackeens for the great photos

There are too many people on this message board working hard to squash the good feelings portrayed in these pictures. They are attempting to re-direct the anger for Bush administration toward Obama.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

65. etched in my heart and spirit forever!

[tilsammans]

66. Thanks, Jackeens!

We are still MUCH better off than we were before.

And hope is still here, IMHO. :patriot:

[Mira]

67. Thanks, I needed that

[jeff30997]

68. Great pics! It gave me goosebumps!

Gee,those two look creepy on this one:



They look like stereotypes of villains in a Bond movie.And Dicky reminds me of Dr Strangelove:

[lavndrblue]

69. Thanks for this!

We must remember why we voted Obama into office instead of listening to all the so called pundits. I back him 100% and believe he will change American and the world for the better.:kick:

[theblasmo]

70. Needed That

We live in dark times, but hope still shines through.

[Richd506]

71. K & R

[SeaLyons]

72. K&R

:kick:

[Enrique]

73. you didn't need the "hide" smiley

this thread is as well received as all of your photo threads, which I enjoy greatly.

K & R. :kick:

[tomm2thumbs]

74. K&R Thanks for posting

[azmouse]

75. Thank you for the beautiful reminder of that time...

I'm glad I don't have my makeup on right now. I'd have mascara running down my face along with my tears.

[Boudica the Lyoness]

76. Keep them coming.

I can't get enough.

[Orsino]

77. Hope has its uses.

It's what keeps us keeping on when we might despair. Inspiring photos might not mean much in the long run, but they are always welcome.

It's also good remind ourselves that even if the Obama Administration can't stabilize the nation, and even if we experience some sort of total collapse, they are individually and collectively better than any corrupt fools we could name in the * regime.

[Froward69]

78. Damn it now i am misty... I am

trying to be mad at him...

[otohara]

79. I Look Forward to Pics From Europe

where I hear he is still beloved and not being blamed for everything wrong with the world.

[graywarrior]

80. Yay!

Yay yay yay yay yay!

[road2000]

81. Bless you for this.

When I recommended just now, I saw this thread needs just five more votes for the Greatest. Come on people, now!

[fedupinBushcountry]

82. My daughter was in Rockefeller Center

and took a few pics.

Obama wins.




Virginia turns blue





My daughter's caption for this picture:

"You would have thought that we won a war, maybe we did."

[Kajsa]

83. Thank you, Jackeens!

It's nice to have an intelligent, sane man in the Oval Office.

:) :D

It sure beats the megalomaniac who was there for eight very long years!

:(


:kick: and R!

[canichelouis]

84. How soon we forget where we were, not so long ago

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHWByjoQrR8


It's a new day...


I woke up this mornin' feelin' alright
I've been fightin' for tomorrow all my life
Yeah, I woke up this mornin' feelin' brand new
Cause the dreams that I've been dreamin' have finally come true

It's a new day...

It's been a long time comin'
Up the mountain kept runnin'
Songs of freedom kept hummin'
Channelin' Harriet Tubman, Kennedy, Lincoln, and King
We gotta manifest that dream
It feels like we're swimmin' up stream
It feels like I'm stuck in between
A rock and a hard place
We've been through the heartaches
And lived through the darkest days
If you and I made it this far well then
Hey! we can make it all the way
And they said no we can't and we said yes we can
Remember it's you and me, together

It's been a long time waitin'
Waitin' for this moment
It's been a long time prayin'
Prayin' for this moment
We've hoped for this moment
And now that we own it
For life I'm 'a hold it
And I won't let it go

This is for our fathers
Our brothers, our friends
Who fought for freedom
Our sisters our mothers
Who died for us to be in this moment
Stop and cherish this moment
Stop and cherish this time

It's time for unity
For us and we
That's you and me, together

I woke up this mornin' feelin' brand new
Cause the dreams that I've been dreamin' finally came true
Yeah, I woke up this mornin' feelin' alright
Cause we weren't fightin' for nothin'
And the soldiers weren't fightin' for nothin'
No Martin wasn't dreamin' for nothin'
And Lincoln didn't change it for nothin'
And children weren't cryin' for nothin'

It's a new day!

[TygrBright]

85. #24 is one of the most beautiful photos I think I've ever seen

What a face...

I'd love to have a hi-res print of that one.

admiringly,
Bright

[Joe Chi Minh]

86. That's what I love about DU. And the Irish. They never lose that little extra human touch.

[Dr Fate]

87. I still feel this way. n/t

:hi: :kick:

[jwirr]

91. Thank you as usual.

[PlanetBev]

92. Greatest fucking post, Jackeens

Everytime I feel a little down, I'll go to Daily Kos and play Jed Lewiston's masterwork "A Night to Remember" It beautifully sums up the joy of that magic night, November 4, 2008. After eight years of misery, the elation was beyond description.

[madmax]

93. I'm in the club! I LOVE Obama!!! k&r n/t

[liberal N proud]

94. Number 17 is just freaky

Looks like you are zooming in real fast

[nevergiveup]

95. That was the greatest night ever!

Your timing was perfect. It has become very dark and depressing here at DU.

[Suprk]

96. Thank you, just what I needed

[Kind of Blue]

97. From one contemptible, mindless, brainless,

dimwitted, hero-worshiping, Obama-loving imbecile to another, Thank you!

[Jackeens]

98. ROFL Kind of Blue, love ya!

[Catshrink]

99. Agreed. Jackeens made me cry again.

I still love him...

[vaberella]

100. It's NEVER a bad time for a PIC thread. #25= EPIC FAIL.

Hahahaha!!!

[newview88]

101. It's the perfect time
