He looked so much like his mom.

I just needed a break from all the ugliness.

1. Thank you!

[Srkdqltr]

2. He does. I saw a pic of him with his mother's father and Obama looks remarkably like him as well.

Race is the biggest hoax of all.

3. I always thought he looked a lot like his grandfather

There's a picture of Obama with his grandfather on the beach I think. He was a very small boy at the time, but the adult Obama looked a lot like his grandfather back then. I love the expression on both his and his mother's faces.

5. This one...

[senseandsensibility]

6. That's it!

Love that picture!

[sheshe2]

8. It is a wonderful picture of them.

I spent a lot of my time hosting in the Barack Obama group.

I have lots of pictures.

38. He snd his grandpa have the same chin.

Malia inherited it as well.

4. Yes former Pres Barack Obama Does!

I find that a lot of sons in my Ohana look more like their Mom's. Mine certainly does.

Mahalo, she.. Beautiful picture

[sheshe2]

31. Yes they are Stuart.

It is great to see such a genuine smile...and the laughter. Good men.

[KS Toronado]

18. Looks like Kansas natives, like me.

[mcar]

20. Great photo!

And a lovely reminder of goodness and sanity. Thanks she.

[MLAA]

21. I'm proud to say to anyone who will listen that President Obama and I share the same 11th great grandfather.

Both through our mothers’ sides. He was a British Colonel named Thomas Bloomfield (1617-1684) who wound up in Massachusetts and ultimately New Jersey.

25. This removes some of the disgust about Alito

My poor brain was exploding earlier from Laurence's piece about Alito and this helped immensely!!

27. K&R

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

28. Who he?

You seem to have posted a link I cannot see.

[sheshe2]

30. Obama as a child with mom.

I posted the image not a link. Sorry you can't see it. It is a beautiful photo. Here is another source. Do you see it?

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

39. Yes, I can see that one. Thank you.

[sheshe2]

40. You are most welcome. 😊

[twodogsbarking]

32. Cool as the other side of the pillow, even then.

[debm55]

33. Ty sheshe2. What a beautiful picture.

[peacebuzzard]

34. this is beautiful...ty so much for this post.

[Danascot]

36. Does anyone else see

a resemblance between Obama's mom, Ann Dunham, and Anna Kendrick?

[peppertree]

44. You're right! She should definitely play Ms. Dunham in a biopic

You can already hear the Repug conniptions coming.

[Emile]

37. He has his mother's good looks.

[10 Turtle Day]

41. Thank you for all the photos!

A very good diversion from all the ugliness indeed!

[calimary]

42. And just when we need it.

Very proud to have voted for him twice, plus in the primaries.

[mainer]

43. Could he have thrived as well anywhere else but Hawaii?

The mixing of races there is so natural and accepted, that I'm sure it removed one source of angst and stress from his youth. Imagine if he'd grown up on the mainland. Would he have known such grace?

[William769]

45. You shine a bright light on all that is right in this world.
