LOL....I was wondering about the miserable non-clapping guy..

[Jackeens]

I think he's Secret Service - from the Arizona commencement speech:



Same guy (on the right) as the one on the left here??:

[onehandle]

1. Good eye. That's him. LOL! nt

[vaberella]

6. Oh yikes, sorry!

[vaberella]

9. De nada. ^_^ n/t

[high density]

3. I'm sure he's happy to play dress up at his job today.

:rofl:

[DJ13]

4. The guy on the right?

Notice the see through coiled wire running up to his ear?

Yep, Secret Service.

I've seen him at other Obama events.

[lapfog_1]

5. The coiled wire coming out of the dress shirt neck is a dead giveaway. - n/t

[monmouth]

7. I've been watching him, he doesn't take his eyes off that audience..

He's with POTUS a lot...

[SoxFan]

8. The position of the hands

Lightly clasped, just below the rib cage...that looks like a Secret Service agent.

[Clio the Leo]

10. Yep, he's one of my top fav. baldie SS dudes.

He's usually the closest to the President when he's around a crowd....





His duties extend also to protecting the Presidential Blackberry...

[rufus dog]

11. I could kick his ass

Then he would turn around a break me in two.

[Parker CA]

12. Yep, he's always right by his side, or as close as he can get. What an incredible

job to have. Huge admiration for all of those men and women. That Blackberry came out of 'The Beast' piping hot lol. Great pic as it skipped off the pavement.

[Clio the Leo]

16. I just hope he doesn't snore when he sleeps.....

..... wouldn't want him to keep Michelle awake. :)

[Arugula Latte]

13. Hah! You're right.

Robot Dude is like Zelig. He's everywhere!

[Brother Buzz]

14. That is an SS dude and a career professional. He deserves an honorary degree

[Clear Blue Sky]

15. Secret service. He couldn't have been more obvious unless he was wearing a sign.

[firedupdem]

17. Yup...and I think we've fallen in love. I was feeling strong vibes

through the tv screen!

:rofl:

[PopSixSquish]

18. USSS Special Agent in Charge Joe Clancy

I posted his name in the other thread too. He's the agent who will go to the protectee in case of an incident (think about that for a moment)

[Thrill]

19. Thats the head of his secret service. He's been with Obama since the campaign

Goes everywhere with him. Even the basketball game

[Manifestor_of_Light]

20. I've seen a SS guy dressed up as college regent before.

My commencement speaker in 1979 was Lady Bird Johnson.
This was at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas.

I'm sure there were SS guys in robes as part of the Board of Regents onstage.
