Those poor Secret Service guys ...

i once misbehaved on a ropeline. they did not shoot me. i will always owe them that.
(wasnt really a capital offense, but, hey, car backfire? i'm not here.)

...and they'd have all of us believe that everyone around the world hates this man!

I talked about how if I were president, I would "disguise" myself (so that I was still easily recognizable) and go to a gun store of an insane right-winger and inquire about discounts for massive orders before calling it off when one of the "in disguise" secret service agents with me accidentally called me, "Mister President," instead of the agreed-upon, "Bob." You know, just to freak them out.

It's kind of like the story I heard of Bill Murray going up to a diner in a restaurant and eating some of his french fries while telling him, "No one will ever believe you."

As president, I would disguise myself (a little bit better) and join in the OAS and whenever someone yelled something, and the crowd yelled back, I would continue yelling after everyone else finished. "The bum needs to go! He turned me into a Newt! Bring back, 'Arrested Development!' Why can't McDonalds always have the McRib on the menu?" until people finally turned to see who the oddball was, and they realized it was me, the president. The weenies would pee themselves.

TlalocW

and buns in packs of eight.

Probably a first? What a great man!!

released later this year. The story is about the Benghazi catastrophe and how, if Shrek had been elected, the dozen-plus U.S. embassy attacks and 9-11 attack under Obama's watch since 2001 would never have happened. It also hints that the Obama administration caused the War on Grenada, too.

in the best ways possible

Wouldn't it just be wonderful to come face to face with him or any member of his family like that. I would be so thrilled, I'd just be speechless.

The woman who thought he might be wax.... LOL.

...he would likely be melting at this time of year in DC.

Loved living in the DC area, but damn is it hot there in the summer.

makes me smile

Awesome thing him to do

and everyone in the video is clearly getting paid handsomely for this.

Oh and the president obviously doesn't care about the veterans, or benghazi. Which would be the fox headline.

He seems a little sad to me. Less buoyant. Who can blame him. I think the VA issue really weighs on him. And here it is, Memorial Day.

Don't understand the low popularity rating. But short of having a(nother) dotty liar in the White House (Reagan), I don't think Americans will EVER have high popularity ratings on their President again. It's what we do.

"Don't understand the low popularity rating."

...not enough Americans are fully aware of our checks-and-balances system, and they may develop unrealistic expectations towards a President who has had to deal with a hostile Congress virtually his entire Presidency. If some people don't get what they want quick enough (such as jobs), they tune out and/or start misdirecting the blame. I've heard some even on here claim that Obama wasted time when Democrats held a strong majority in both Houses in 2009, but during that very short period was actually when he was able to get the most stuff done (compared to the last few years).

President flees White House. President abandons duties.

(Just imagining Fox News taglines for this story.)

...running down my cheeks, while my face is turning green with envy - not a pretty sight.

He is such an admirable man and human being.

can't help but wonder what you're like to people in RL.

judging by the first response you got.

They keep harping about his approval rating but they don't count that a LOT of that is disillusioned Liberals who would like him to do MORE.

Riiiiight.

I had the good fortune to see him in a small venue when he was running

for the Illinois Senate in 2004 -- He blew the room away on sheer charisma.

Regardless of what anyone thinks of some of his political choices, PBO

is very likable -- He's funny, charming, and very good looking.

Great video.. makes me smile every time. Thank you, MohRokTah

What an awesome president!!!! No one, and I mean No one, will ever match his charisma and true care for the American people.

so much.

President Obama is only the commander in Chief to the Armed forces of the United States; for everyone else he is simply the President.

Sematics, but yeah.

NOT A ONE OF THEM would have had the courage to face the POTUS. NOT A ONE.

Brwawaaaa!

So relaxed with peeps.. "Sorry, I messed up your run.." "that's okay.."!

Thank you, MohRokTah!

Heh.

I remember the thrill. I'd be even happier meeting President Obama. Those folks have a great memory

To have been alive during his administration as opposed to have only been able to read about as with JFK. While he has not done all that I had hoped for (reducing the Patriot Act footprint/accountability for Wall Street) he is still the best President during my lifetime, his down to earth caring, compassion and empathy for our country and it's citizens are second to none for the office he holds. Thank you Mr. President for showing America what it means to be human first and President second.

I'd like to sit in a quiet room and have a meaningful conversation with Obama. But I'd probably be too tongue tied to speak. Just walking along and meeting him like this would be so awesome!

And he is a lovely man. I'm not sure there is any better way to say it (credit to someone above me).

I would have so many things to say if I were in that quiet room but am afraid the words would come out like duh..duhh.. uh, umm and, so why is that Mr. President?

I'm really conflicted with Obama. Such a nice guy, it seems, yet I have a very hard time reconciling why he does/allows some of the things he does (Net neutrality and Wheeler, the Wars, Gitmo, Drones, Data Collection, Snowden, etc, etc, etc.). Sure, I understand he only has but SO much power when we have things like voting in the House and Senate, but gee wiz.

I met Clinton impromptu and shook his hand in DC in the middle of the street while I was lifted up by my Mother onto her back to get a good view - I was probably 6 or 7. I Didn't really grasp who it was and why it was important at the time but I never forgot about it and can remember his face in that memory clear as day. It was only some time later that I grasped what had happened. Congrats to those who met President Obama, a fine day to be remembered regardless of your views.

for a coup.

I know I'm going to be nostalgic for his era in the White House. He's really something special.

and remains interested and curious about average people's lives. I don't think we're going to see Obama take up painting or other solitary pursuits when he leaves office.

Thanks for posting this - fun to watch a President clearly enjoying himself.

running up on the President like that.
Did you see the SS faces , one you can see is reaching for his weapon

I'm glad to see them vigilant. They were ready to go in the blink of an eye if they had to.

Yeah, he owns the neighborhood. Those little teabag pissants couldn't take it away from a big dude like that.

I love seeing him grind their face in dog shit, with smile and charm.

I'm sure there were snipers in place as well.

These things aren't done on a whim.

Every detail was probably planned for weeks.

It was great to see him interact with people, though.

I've had the distinct honor and privilege of meeting BHO in person, and he's a genuinely NICE man! I first met him (and Michelle) at a county Democratic Christmas party in December 2005, during his primary battle for the US Senate seat from Illinois. I was so impressed that I became one of two (out of 35) precinct committeemen in our county to support him in the primary. He is intelligent, engaging with a 'warm' personality that too frequently isn't apparent on camera.

capture Obama when he walked to their massive encampment?

can't walk out of the WH and talk to folks anytime he wanted. We've created too many crazy people in this country.

I will say, President Obama does seem to get out and speak to people in factories, restaurants etc. fairly frequently.

What a lovely video!

LOL

I don't remember another President in decades who walked among his people in this way

and two
This was a not so subtle 'fuck you' to the American spring fucktards.

Great video. But every time I see Obama like this I get more disappointed. The man could have been an all-time great but he got wrapped up with the wrong crowd. Maybe he always was in that crowd. I don't know. He still has time

Did you know the left was really disappointed in FDR, much like they are disappointed in Obama?

Obama will go down as one of our greatest presidents. He is certainly the greatest president of my lifetime.

Very difficult to protect a president in that kind of setting, especially one who is hated by the right so much.
