5. Imagine the pressure
He knows he doesn't have to do this just for himself, but for the future of the United States of America as well.

8. Exactly
He seems so poised. Its reminiscent of the Kennedy-Nixon debate in 1960. Kennedy let Nixon go out 2 minutes before him and stayed in the back room alone to compose himself. Incredible image.

with fears like the rest of us.

10. I can see the pressure...
And his resilience against it.

Great photo!

K&R

He realized what he had to do, and he was ready.

11. Great photo.
He looks like he's meditating or praying. Taking deep breaths. Listening to silence. Getting to that inner center, a source of calm and strength. (He's gonna need it - he knows it.)

16. Obama Within Himself
He is astute enough to realize and acknowledge his inner power. Rock on man. Just rock the fuck on. Thinking about McLame and how he comported himself before, during, and after the debate makes me want to barf. In this day and age that a reptile like McLame is even on the stage with Obama is FUCKING WRONG.
