Breaking out of the bubble

I know I've been posting a lot of pictures lately. But President Obama finally broke out of the DC bubble and is "among the people" again. That always makes for some amazing moments.

As is usual, Chipsticks over at The Obama Diary is doing a wonderful job of chronicling it all. Bless you!!!!!

This one grabbed me big time. I'm still trying to figure out why. The idealistic scenery of the farmland. And then the invasion of this motorcade. It gives you a sense of the bubble that so constrains and often seems to frustrate this President.



I'll let the President himself tell this story.
