MT @dougmillsnyt: Obama reacts as he is greeted by a man wearing a horse-head as he walked the streets of Denver.

(81,466 posts)who'd give him mucho shit if they knew he'd shook the hand of that-black-guy-in-the-Oval-Office-who-(GASP!!!!)-isn't-the-janitor? That'd be my guess. A secret "D" voter who doesn't want his friends and roommates and neighbors to know?

Pool: As the pool started to leave, Obama suddenly got hot, sinking multiple shots and winning the game. "Did you record that?" Obama asked

In Denver, Obama played a little pool with Gov. John Hickenlooper. After a slow start, Obama won handily.

(3,014 posts)Went to Wynkoop for the first time in several years a couple of weeks ago....
they've removed their Shepards Pie served with hot beer bread from the menu.
They're most popular item for more than two decades....gone.
Why? The server informed me that they got a new chef and she told them that that kind of fair doesn't sell in Colorado anymore because people are too healthy.
I looked the server in the eye and said, "Then ask her why Voodoo Donuts has a line around the block at 3am and Pete's Kitchen has been busy since 1942.".
I refuse to go back until they return the Shepards Pie to the menu.

I would imagine, also, that walkabouts like this restore the President's faith in regular ol' civilian Americans rather than those making themselves out to be (and parading around in their cute little Army-Navy Surplus costumes) "enemy combatants" - more like "domestic terrorists". I'd want to be with the regular folks too, if I faced a barrage like that!

(26,648 posts)and only Republicans had anything to say and blah, blah blah. Just give me the weather and STFU. As a matter of fact, I'll look up my own weather and skip the right wing news bullshit.
Meantime, I'd sure love a chance to see the president.
bigtree
(86,005 posts). . . there is so much that isn't reported about this administration. It's almost criminal.
So glad you were able to see the Prez in his element. Hope you get your wish!
