i hate pictures like that that are meant to make the candidate look humanistic. "look at the camera, shake hands, and smile" REAL ORIGINAL

Hello again Mr. Obama.

In a previous comment thread someone mentioned that this is a "sad attempt to win internet voters." My husband and I were just discussiong that, and we agree that the only way to reach the common not-so-political America (or Canadian in my case) is to get off the podium and walk out into the audience as you have done in tis picture, and as you have done by joining networks like Gather.

Good for you!!!

I couldn't give this pic a high vote especially from such a photographed man. But the image is powerful. Hope in old faces is a hugely rare commodity. These people knew king and they're seeing a second coming.

Also,,

look at the eye levels of those women

The one with the camera is just plain starring.

I'm surprised that pic passed the rigid scrutiny of the PC brigade behind all political US candidates.

Hello Senator. Now this photo looks more like the current Senator Obama, except you look fatter. You are not this hefty. Maybe the camera does add 10 pounds.

Appears he is slipping the woman a 20 dollar bill for a smile as they line up for a pose. Next in the photo line to Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton is being paid 10% for a charity event.

A win in Iowa, NH looking very good-a double digit lead over Hillary! Mmmmm, wonder what the naysayers are saying now??!

Obama won the Nevada union vote off the Clintons. That may well supercede his loss in NH. Unions and minorities are paper over rock to the womens vote :)
