1. Great photo display. Thanks for posting, Clio !

[impik]

2. You can't buy such coolness

Or the hotness that is the cellphone picture....;)

Thanks for this lovely thread.

[Clio the Leo]

4. but....

... MOST normal cool kids dont wear their cellies on their belt. Sigh ... he gets a pass I guess. ;)

[impik]

5. Oh, honey, we focus on two different things in this picture ;)

[Clio the Leo]

6. And this one?

Reminds me a of a South Park episode.

[boppers]

8. Which one's Kenny?

I'd opt for the big O, as every attack against him fails to stop him.

[tomm2thumbs]

11. and here he is talking about Boehner

3. Green Tea/Vanilla swirl...where can we get that here in the States?

:D

7. The US media truly sucks; thank you for these, and I have not

seen any of them anywhere. Why was this trip so unimportant, except for the criticism? Stunning photos!

[jberryhill]

9. Practically all news about the trip was crowded out

By non-stories about a comedian and a full court press on why he wasn't knee-jerking in response to tax cuts that expire automatically

[Clio the Leo]

12. Well, one thing that became clear...

... (from their Tweets) about half way through the press got REALLY tired. On their six hour flight from Indonesia to Korea, all they had to eat was potato chips and candy because the company that brought the food didn't show up in time (they left early because of the volcano.) ... Their hotels sometimes were cramped and dirty. .... now, they're all very fortunate to have the jobs they have, but you can imagine ANYONE would be exhausted after all of that.

10. K & R n/t

14. Lovely collection of pics!!!

I always like the ones with children. They all look so happy to be around Michelle.

Poor Cristina Fernandez, she just lost her husband, the former president of Argentina.

:-)

15. Very nice work--particularly since the media mostly ignored this trip.
