Default I shot the President.

Not with a gun...with my camera. I covered what is probably George W.'s last visit to central Pennsylvania as President last week. 12 hour day and a ton of Secret Service bullshit to deal with. Major pain in the ass...but I got a few good pics.

I'm no fan of this guy's Presidency...but his speech was pretty good. He made alot of jokes about himself and his decision making. I'd like to get a beer with him.


On with the pics:

















My view of POTUS:








White House Press Pass:


All my Presidential press passes:

Way to go either way Marko... but you passed up your chance to make history... could have taken him out or at least thrown your purse at him.

Thanks man. I'm not a fan of politics in general...but I've covered quite a bit of it this year.

I've got a good story for my nephew in a few years. He was just born a week ago...and on the same day I took his pictures, I took the Presidents picture.

Probably b/c they are hosted on Facebook. And throwing anything was not an option. I had to be escorted to the bathroom by Secret Service.

Nice work Marco.

Any idea how many more stops there are on the Magical History Tour?
