(89,274 posts)well, i guess kids everywhere would.
but these remind me of i think the Obama trip to the UK and Michelle was a surprise speaker at some school and when the kids saw who it was they were so excited.

(36,974 posts)Pete Souza is the main White House photographer that photographs President Obama,
but Souza has a staff of other folks that he sends out to take photos when he can't be in two places at once.
Michelle Obama I'm sure has a photographer assigned to her to cover her events.

(16,254 posts)I think they are more comfortable with the common folk than the elite.
Can you see Mitt or Ann being this open and enthusiastic with children?

(28,151 posts)She looks healthy, radiant and completely thrilled to be there. She's out there representing us on the world stage and doing a superb job of it. Again.
And on top of all that, what a beauty! Even in work out type clothes she's got a glam thing about her. Some come by it naturally, easy to see how the President could be so obviously smitten.

(19,118 posts)Our current 1st lady seems genuinely warm and caring. So many other 1st ladies have shown up for these photo ops with kids and it has looked like, although they made an effort, like they were disgusted that they had to interact with commoners. Michelle Obama is a regular person who obviously enjoys the time she gets to spend with kids and regular people as first lady.
Laura bush did everything but hold her nose when she had to spend time with the serfs, or gasp even black people.

Trying to imagine Ann Romney allowing a female wrestler to pick her up almost made me snort pop out my nose.
Great pics and what an awesome First Lady!!

(14,881 posts)as does Barack,when with children. The kids clearly love them both. Such a sharp contrast of pix of Mittens with kids -- when he seems to take wooden to petrified wood, lol.
Lovely pics! Thanks for posting
