Obama calms supporter, upset because brother stole his pretzel goldfish. (And photo of Wes Clark)
:rofl:

From Time magazine, behind the scenes campaign photos,
http://www.time.com/time/photogallery/0,29307,1855131_1791536,00.html

Caption:
Crisis
Backstage at the rally, Obama tries to calm a young supporter whose brother had taken his pretzel goldfish.




And just for fun, since I adore Wes Clark, another photo from that same collection:

1. Why can't Wes Clark be National Security Adviser?
I would so love to see him in this administration.

15. I'd like Clark for SecDef and Clarke for NSAdv.

19. he'd be great for that... not sure about SoDef
Edited on Wed Nov-12-08 06:52 PM by Essene
i only say that "im not so sure" simply because he has a history as a top tier commander and you want to make sure they'd fit with what's going on and have unquestioned respect.

4. I think he will replace Gates....as Gates will be asked to stay on
until Wes Clark is eligible for SOD. I think he has to wait till 2010....but could be nominated right prior to that.

17. Why does he have to wait?
Is there some rule about ex-military being SecDef or something like that to maintain civilian control?

24. SecDef requires being out of military 10 years
I think that's the number...

Would love FrenchieCat to be right on this! I want Wes in the Obama administration.

13. Clark is brilliant, he'd be outstanding in any job he's assigned to by Pres. Obama
well, almost anything. I think that pretzel goldfish crisis has no solution. I'm guessing the supporter's brother ate it. :P

3. I can see him saying to Wes there-
"Look, we have to find that pretzel goldfish, I gave my word."

5. FEMA Director?
Edited on Wed Nov-12-08 06:37 PM by The Traveler
That department really, really needs some help. It could be argued that would be an underutilization of Clark's talents ... if you are in a coastal city with a Cat 5 headed your way, wouldn't you feel better if someone like that were running emergency services?

22. I'd love if they'd get Russell Honore
Maybe symbolic, but he seems to have developed some expertise in this matter.

6. If Obama can solve the pretzel goldfish problem, he can solve the economic and Iraq problems.

11. It's been 20 years and we're still trying to solve the problem of imaginary
nails. My boys were pretending to build something with imaginary nails that I pretended to hand out. Apparently I handed one too many invisible pretend nails to one of them. They've been fighting ever since.

16. Nope, not kidding. Of course they've replaced imaginary nails
with things like who has the newest IPOD, but the nails started it all. :)

32. Awww, that's a sweet picture. I hope that boy's Mom got a picture to keep for him.
President-elect Obama really does care about children. He's so genuine, you can see it in his face.
