[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

What great role models for families everywhere.

9. I believe that's it, they are not pretentious like the b*sh cabal,hell like

most repugs.

28. "Keeping it real."

I can't help but see this as the grounding of that family's emotional health. It's just terrific to observe.

[DrToast]

8. LOL...#11 no question

"Uh, Mr. President, we can have someone do that for you."

"Nah, I got it. I got it."

[Beacool]

26. My favorite too and deserves a caption.

Hillary, I brought you out to the picnic table to discuss a matter of uppermost importance. Hot dogs, ketchup or mustard?

:7

[Jennicut]

12. The 3-D glasses are cracking me up.

I love them all.

[Beacool]

13. Great pics!!!

Love the one of Hillary and Obama at the picnic table. Would have been even cooler if they were having a picnic, hot dogs, potato salad, sodas.

The pic of the girls and Michelle sledding is great. As is the pic of all them watching some movie in 3-D.

:D

[Clio the Leo]

14. This shot was taken in the same room where Bill and Monica....

.... well, ya know .....



I love Bill but this shot shows how much CHANGE really HAS come to the White House.

[NYC Liberal]

15. Hmm what about Bush and Gannon/Guckert?

[Beacool]

16. Clio!!!!

Shame on you girl!! I thought that it was probably the same room, but there's no need to go there again. Yuck.....

:spank:

[Uzybone]

21. oh snap!!

[Bankhead_ATL]

20. thanks she is cute

[TahitiNut]

30. My thought exactly.

:wow:

[Aristus]

22. I'm always disappointed by how bright the Oval Office is. I prefer "The West Wing"-style

mood lighting.

But the President...perfect. Better than Jed Bartlet because he's REAL, not a fictional character... B-)

[Clio the Leo]

32. lol, it's hard for a room to be dark when you have someone so luminous in it....

.... but I never cared for how dark the "West Wing" was.

[Aristus]

33. No argument from me about the President's luminosity.

B-) And another B-) for Michelle's luminosity!...

[progressoid]

24. With his predecessors...

President Barack Obama looks at a portrait of John F. Kennedy by Aaron Shikler



President Barack Obama looks at a portrait of President John Adams while waiting in the Blue Room prior to his press conference in the East Room 2/9/09.

[NYC Liberal]

25. Did they get that right? That looks like James Madison not John Adams LOL

[progressoid]

27. Hmmm...

Here's a close up



It certainly looks like this one of Madison:






I guess all these white guys look the same :eyes:

[NYC Liberal]

31. And the woman is Elizabeth Monroe

[TahitiNut]

29. THIS is the kind of President I voted for!! 100%.
