Passers-by line a street as the motorcade of US President Barack Obama passes by May 30, 2009 in New York City. President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama will be attending the Broadway show "Joe Turner's Come and Gone" at the Belasco.

what beautiful smiles

Once again the president is greeted by large crowds of excited people.

and the First Lady in town, pleased to have them as guests to their city, pleased to be downtown rooting for this high-profile couple to have a wonderful evening on Broadway.

When it's being done right, this is how it's done.

Yes, I am a proud cheerleader!

Enjoy your evening President & Mrs. Obama!

Your photo threads are always such treasures. I hope you don't mind that I routinely toss links to them on my Twitter, for broader circulation.

You are MORE than welcome to send the links anywhere at all - love ya!

:toast:

I look for Jackeens threads! They are wonderful and give me such a lift. I don't twitter, but I do pass them on! :-)

No, wait - those are cameras, aren't they............

you scared the shit out of me :rofl:

:yoiks:

:rofl:

:toast:

Loves our Prez :loveya:

:toast:

Those who cut them down without cause are simply envious ....

There is no more vibrant and exciting place to be than in Manhattan ... in Times Square .... On Broadway ...

After a 40 year absence (less two visits), I would hope to one day go back for good ....

xoxoxoxox.

when the world said NO TO WAR. Thanks for the pictoral reminder.

Your post pics juxtaposed to Jackeens gave me the chills. Welcome to DU. :hug: :hi:

It used to always be the angry mob.

Everything the president does is political; like staying on front page.

:rofl:

If it's just politics, you have some 'xplainin' to do.

:sarcasm:

Like the sarcasm tag is needed.

Ya know what?
Screw the Republicans.
One thing I have learned about Republicans, is that they are all wrapped so tight they have no idea how to have any FUN.
Every single one of them has a corn cob stuck up their ass, I swear.
They wouldn't be happy if Obama went to the freaking airport and rented a car from Hertz and DROVE to NYC.

"Oh! Why did he have to rent such a BIG car!"
"Oh! He rented a CAMRY! What he can't rent a 'mericun car?"
"Oh! his car had SATELLITE RADIO! He's an elitist and he probably was listening to Air America or the uncensored comedy channel!"
"Oh! he paid his tolls using a credit card! Probably a taxpayer funded credit card!"

ASSHOLES.

mint sweater...

It would be hard to pick them out in a line-up but I don't think that is her

see if I knew anyone..those luckies..what a way to spend a Saturday evening..immersed in history:patriot::fistbump: Stimulating the economy on Broadway:bounce:

POTUS and FLOTUS :rofl:

Hope it's something good.

Makes it easier to think of them there.

those people sure look awfully upset over his insensitivity to their economic pain.:spray:

smiles, the camaras and the joy!!

Great Pics as usual!!

GULP.

Again. ;o)


You sneaky. Good, but sneaky.

Hey-I'm nearby and I go in all the time. Believe me when I say, that I've never seen a crowd like that in this city.

But we've never seen a rock star president like him, either.

:P

I just *knew* this thread was gonna be filled with smiling people!!

I LOVE NYC!!!!

Thanks, as always, for the photos Jackeens! :hi:

:kick:

A bonus for Broadway!

and it was such a magnificent experience.

A friend of mine had an "Afternoon with
August Wilson" at her home. It was fantastic.

He talked about his life and then answered our questions about his Plays and stayed to socialize with us.

Lovely--- and I can't wait to see this play.

:thumbsup:

me of the evening of the election--a happy day for all (except folks were bundled up in winter clothes).

The Bidens will be there today (for something with the Dem National Committee). So much love for NYC from the administration.
