Sure, theres always a certain level of excitement during a presidential visit. The motorcade, the prospect of a wave here, a photo op there, for a few brief hours being the center of the political universe.

That pic is disturbing. The blonde, hanging on like a ramora, is reaching up the angelic 0ne's red-white-'n-blue skirt? Say what?
Don’t miss the 13 stars representing the European Union.
Now B. B. King's cut will be in my head all night.
