1. My Brewer sure looked grump in that picture.

7. Yeah she did, but she had to take some close talking and a kiss from Obama.

:rofl:

I love this. When these piss-ant puke govs and whatnot have to play second fiddle to the big man.

10. That's how she always looks. n/t

[MindandSoul]

11. Yes! did you notice her body language in that first picture?

Totally closed, totally resistant! Totally pouting!

12. I wonder

if those were the first Black hands she has ever shaken?

2. Thank you, Kadie

I gotta find a handkerchief. I got something in my eye...

[Drale]

3. Bet she went home and sat in the shower

mumbling "not clean" over and over, because a black man kissed her.

5. Oh please...is that necessary?

I take these photos at face value: 2 leaders in pain, coming together despite political differences, who both care deeply about the same thing - the best for their constituents and country.

9. i am going to go with.... connection and "maybe he isnt so bad"... perspective. nt

4. Brewer looks uncomfortable

6. Everything in Arizona is brown. And if it ain't already brown, they paint it brown.

Just an observation from a few years living in Phoenix.

13. Phx is NOT all of AZ

15. I know, but I love that line.

I've been all over the state. Bisbee to Kingman, Yuma to the Four Corners. Froze in Flag, and I played Johnny B. Goode on the south rim. Lots of miles. Canyons, forests. Well, a lot of that is brown too, especially if you lump green in with brown.

Maybe I should put this in context. When I was in Arizona, I taught many PhotoShop classes. If I was doing rendering, it might go something like this, "Let's draw Arizona -- it's really easy, because you only need three colors, blue for the sky and yellow for the sun, there are no clouds, and everything else is brown..." etc.

We do the basic background. I then add layers for mountains, canyons, trees, or maybe a cactus, desert flowers, a bird. I color it red. Waterfalls, and rivers. At least it's a different blue. :)
