5. Barack is some kinda handsome...yes he is...and smart too. pheww!

[whathehell]

7. He's a babe...!

[JuniperLea]

30. I love him!

In my house, "I love him!" is the appropriate response to the phrase, "He's a babe!"

:)

[trueblue2007]

33. Gosh he sure is. I wanna be his wife !!!! LOL

[goclark]

35. Yes he is some kinda wonderful to Ms.goclark

:loveya:

I attended a Rally at USC before he decided to run for President.

The lawn in front of the library was completely packed.

I was standing about 1/4 of a football field away from him and it was some kinda wonderful!

When he walked out on the steps the crowd that was calm went WILD!
I mean WILD! Young ladies started screaming like it was Elvis Presley!

Ms. goclark was screaming like I was still a student there -- I could not help myself.LOL

He is just so handsome and so confident yet so low key and sensible when he speaks --it was magical.

[Fleshdancer]

9. She looks like an actress

beautiful skin, beautiful smile.

[AzNick]

12. A little bit like an A.A. Sandra Bullock

That's how I see it

[bigwillq]

26. Looks a bit like Janet Jackson to me (nt)

[gmoney]

10. looks like a wax museum

the lighting is just... odd

[AzNick]

11. Tons of flashes going off at the same time

Since the advent of DSLR, photographers are not limited to a roll of 36 or 100 (with extra magazine) and now can take literally thousands of photos.

[TeeYiYi]

13. Unintentional I would guess, however...

...did anyone else notice the cop's middle finger?... Weird.

TYY

[Manifestor_of_Light]

14. LOVE Nancy's loud scarf. Very cool.

[CTyankee]

31. I covet that scarf! I want it, I do! I have just the outfit it will go with...nt

[SDuderstadt]

15. She's actually looking at Clyburn...

notice the eye contact returned by him.

[4lbs]

16. She might be fantasizing about being Michelle for a night.

:silly:

[omega minimo]

17. "lady cop"

why mention her gender? is she "the little woman cop"? you didn't mention her race. she's the only cop in the frame.

how about "officer' or "cop"? it's very simply and not hard to do.

:thumbsup:

[AzNick]

19. Nya nya nya whatever

Seriously that's it? Because I said "lady cop" you're giving me all sort of nonsensical grief?

[omega minimo]

20. it's very simple and stated clearly. you can do it if you try. not that complicated.

"you're giving me all sort of nonsensical grief?"

Not at all. Even gave you a thumbsup. Your attitude indicates you don't WANT to respect the officer as an officer -- gotta diminish her cuz she's female.

Look at the other comment/s here about her "fantasizing about being Michelle for a night." Sexism is bigotry like any other.

[AzNick]

24. Seriously, maybe I dig the "lady cop"?

You're over reacting over two words put together.

[Brickbat]

34. Some of us lived through a time when "lady" or "woman" before a profession implied that it was

unusual, remarkable, or even wrong that a woman could do or would want to do that particular job. It was seen as diminishing the job title and implied that there was a possibility the job wouldn't get done as well. Because of that, the terminology jumps out at us, and we object to it.

[AzNick]

36. I see.... but I meant to be instead respectful

I hate the term female, which I always think should be given to animals only, maybe because I'm French and "femelle" is always put before an animal.

The opposite happened when I called an AA woman a lady "of color" which got her eyes to pop out as if I had used the "N" word.

In French, "gens de couleurs" is actually a nice P.C. term to designate non-Caucasians.

[omega minimo]

39. No you meant to comment on her gender rather than her profession

Why specify it at all? As the poster explained, as i explained, it diminishes her as an officer, a professional, minimizes her presence.

Several on your thread seem fixated with projecting sexual innuendo on the scene, so maybe that's all some people can see.

[AzNick]

42. And the fact I find her attractive :)

[Brickbat]

40. I understand what you're saying.

The alternative would be not to give "cop" any modifier whatsoever, unless it has a bearing on the point you're making. I don't think it did have a bearing on what you were saying here. Thanks for listening.

[Kablooie]

18. Cute cop.

And I could do a word play with 'cop' here but she's police so I won't.

[Skittles]

21. gorgeous

[Number23]

22. She is too cute! And definitely giving Obama "the eye"

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

23. She'll get hassled today

I'm sure the photo is all over the walls at the Congressional Cops' Doughnut Shoppe this morning.

The halls will ring with wolf-whistles.

:hi:

[NOLALady]

25. Finally,

she can look at a president and feel proud.

[spanone]

27. sweet.....she looks proud of her President

[JuniperLea]

28. Clearly she thinks he's one dreamy dude!

It's rare when googlie swoonie eyes are caught in a picture like that! But when they do, you can see the truth shining from them!

[malaise]

29. She loves her President

That's beautiful.

[Scurrilous]

37. Kick

:thumbsup:

[blondeatlast]

41. Lotsa (justifiable) proud in that pic. The cop, the Prez, Madame Speaker...

That is a treasure. Thanks for sharing it..
