Obama Overseas Trip Behind The Scenes Photos (SLIDESHOW)

President Obama's first major trip overseas has been over for almost a week, but some of the best photos from the eight day extravaganza came out today on the White House's website. These snaps are behind the scenes and capture some private moments between the President and Secretary of State Clinton, the staff on Air Force One, Obama's personal aide taking notes and the first couple talking to the Queen of England.

haha the picture with them taking off their shoes to go into the mosque, i remember a later pic of everybody's shoes.....­guess who's were the biggest? lol for life. i love our president on so many levels.

The caption should be; Rahm states, "you better say what I want you to or you're dead fish - I want it so that they can't even see my lips move when you talk".

Love Prez and Team! Team of rivals..ri­ght! Hillary is HOT and in charge! I know Prez Clinton is jealous! You know he want to be in the game; I guess he is by taking those dates to assist her in getting rid of her debt! Love these pictures; Smart and Power is a great picture which requires no words!
Finally, Reggie, Reggie! Got to love it!

Hillary is not in charge; Rahm is. She is hot only if you like cackling laughs and huge hips.

I love candid pictures like this.

Very cool photos. I loved Reggie Love when he was at Duke.

[CitizenFarmer]

When he was at Duke; was he one of the people who helped try and convict the Lacrosse players in the press?

I'm a woman whose almost 6 feet fall, but for some reason I find Rahm totally sexy. I like that edge. Plus he's a ballet dancer. Heh.

Go to your room!

[Seven7s]

You dont like Rahm. You like his power and influence.

[montecarlo408]

Please. You don't know me. I just recently dated a truck driver, and I have three degrees. I like Rahm's machismo. Plus, do you have any idea what ballet dancers are capable of?

[bobbiisadukefan]

I have to agree, I am 5'11 and I find him totally sexy(Rahm)!

[leah32]

Translation: you don't like Rahm, and you refuse to believe anyone could possibly disagree with you. Talk about arrogant.

[CitizenFarmer]

And he has a shiksa and two great kids

[seachild]

[Aline Binette]
