What a beautiful First Lady.....hey Mr. President...those shoes have put a lot of miles on them.

A great shot.

God Bless you and keep you safe.

CONGRATS on your win.

Back to edit this...WOW....a lot have been here since I first commented. THIS image has to be one of my favorites that you have posted. I'll bet we see this on EXPLORE FRONT PAGE.

The look on both of your faces.....PRICELESS.

MY THOUGHTS FOR THE WORLD TO SEE....and hopefully put their 2 cents to it...

Love it.

I like how they call Barack an "elitist" look at the bottom oh his shoes! Compared with hundreds of thousands spent on Sarah Palin

Man...those worn out soles are a real testament to the hours and days and weeks of effort President-elect Obama has put into this campaign.

I am sure he is not going to let up even one bit, because the real hard work starts now.

Salome's View says:

Dear Mr. President,
You don't know how good it feels to address you this way. I have waited forty years, since Bobby Kennedy, for a person as yourself to come along and lead this wonderful nation. It chokes me up with joyful tears to know we have a man with integrity, patience, wisdom, kindness, thoughtfulness, sympathy, empathy, depth, and courage to lead this nation to the level it not only deserves, but is by birthright, set forth by a group of future sighted founding framers. At one time, Mr. King, Jr. and Mr. R. F. Kennedy set forth on a path to leading this nation to a much more wholistic future. They were stolen from us. Now, I see that future on the horizon again with you leading the way. I know you won't let us down. You will surprise your "nay-sayers" and may even have some surprises for those of us who support you. There is a tremendous amount of work to do and those soles on your shoes will become so much more worn. But, Mr. President, you don't walk this journey alone. We the People will now walk arm in arm with you on this path.
