Obama: Center of attention

Tim went to the embassy Meet & Greet with President Obama this evening. As I mentioned in another picture this morning, I refused to go due to what I felt were insulting security measures for American citizens who are serving with the US Embassy in Saudi Arabia.

Anyway, this was one of the pictures he got. There were closer ones, but I liked all the cell phones in this one. I’m surprised people were even allowed to bring them in, I mean they could have been dangerous...

Heaven forbid anyone hold up a DSLR - they're not allowed in many places but a cell phone - no problem.

The photos taken will be a historic moment for themselves and their families in years to come.

Interesting that there are no abayas !! You, in one, would certainly look threatening :) !!

odd the ruling politician would be considered under threat from his own citizens...standing back in protest was a good option...Tim did well, effectively capturing the celebrity worship of our times..
