Very cool. The hardest working President in history, full days from early morning till late at night, a schedule which ‘mere mortals’ could not endure. The overflowing plate of concerns which would give most people a severe headache. Many familiar memories there and many smile-provoking ones. Love how he tried to encourage the little girl at the egg roll to get going. He’s a gem.
You said it all, dotster! A wonderful, evocative video with words that perfectly matched not only the film clips, but especially relevant to President Obama’s Tuscon address which has called on all of us to change in the direction of our better angels. I don’t know if you compiled this video, chipsticks, but whether you or someone else, thank you. Take a bow!
Thank you so much Linda. Really sorry, I started out identifying all the songs in the videos but I forget sometimes! This song is ‘Change’ by Tracy Chapman. The one in the earlier post, ie
After 30+ years, I’m still in love with our VP. He and our president are the best CIC and VP I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen all of them since JFK took office in 1961. A little secret: I love men who are intelligent, compassionate geeks.
You two will have to add me to your list….nothing sexier than brains, but then you add the killer smile….honey, um,um,um…..LOL! President and Joe also make a great comedy team.
Kudos – I just now realized you make these videos. Wow. Thank you so much for all your hard work. I am wiping away tears as I watch this video. He never quits, it is just amazing. A wonderful tribute created by a wonderful blogger.

That first egg roll at the White House with him encouraging the little girl has always been one of my very favorites.
Sometimes I feel like he’s doing that for all of us – moving along side and encouraging.

Majii, that meets my standard for “sexy”. Heart, brains, humor and a killer smile. As always, no disrespect to our dynamic duo.
