that, too.

3. "I have a question for the guy in the middle. Yeah -- tall guy with the ears."

"You mean The President?"

"Sorry. I can't read his name tag from here."

[Cha]

5. He's the

President!

[Buzz Clik]

6. His name card is a hoot.

It tickles me for a dozen reasons.

[sheshe2]

7. We can Make a Difference!

Yes we can.

Great speech he gave. "We have suffered to much pain to do nothing."

"We've got an obligation to take that step." From the look on the Presidents face at the round table, he sure as hell means it!

And ya, I too love his placemarker. The President. Oh yes, he sure is!

Thank you, Cha.

[Cha]

9. Yes, we do have an obligation and a

vital responsibility to take that first step and follow up with many more until our Kids are safer. And, all the potential victims of gun violence.

Thank you, she

10. Yes, I liked that one, too, freshwest..

that's why I had to get it in there. The Officers look really interested in interacting with "The President".

[freshwest]

11. That's THE President!

12. Al Franken

Al Franken, Top 10 IQ Senator's!! But I digress, to imagine this pic (the top one with Franken and Obama and Air Force I) being shown to the SNL writers in one of their writing sessions 30 years ago. (Oh, to be a fly on the wall for that!!)

[Cha]

13. As Jack Sparrow would say..

"Funny ol World", eh lobodons?
