What an Awesome presentation of our dear President Barack Obama!! I have eagerly viewed every picture with joy in my heart as we know how very hard the President has worked to help make this country a much better place for all of us it’s citizens to live in currently. Although the era of today’s economy may not be the prefect model yet, we have strong hope for it’s future going forward with a good strong positive outlook. we are now retired Senior Citizens who have been empowered to stay the course and be as supportive as possible for us in these of the most economically challenged times but still we have a stronghold on our future together and among our fellow citizens who are choosing to support the President in his tiring efforts to help our economy grow in the most positive of ways possible. Thank you very much, Mr. Barack Obama, President of these United States of America for you do and have been doing for us as Seniors in this costly and depressed environment we suddenly find ourselves engaged in. Not that we hadn’t planned for this to happen in the apex of our retirement plans, but it is what it is, and we’re trying very hard to be the positive Senior role models for the future we can possibly be. That’s not saying we don’t have a bad day ocassionaly because we certainly do. When all there is to do is seeminly blame “the other guy” meaning our government, and go on complaining about our lack of money to pay for the ever increasing costs of my prescription drugs (who gave those pharmaceutical Companies their permission to majorily increase those costs anyway?? Not me, neither me nor my husband, who is Also retired and almost 70 years old now. Not a telephone call nor any letter through the US Mail not even an email did we receive about what was going to be our choice of the cost of my (wife’s) current drugs’ prescriptions. Nada! That said, I know very well, as we put our numerous Christmas gifts away and look forward to another New and hopefully happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year in 2011 we will be doing anything we possibly are able at this juncture to do to help you, Mr. President and staff to support you in all your wonderfully positive efforts to move our country in ways that will help to make a more loving and caring and less greedy environment. Thank you for all you do to help us!!
Fondly,

Two sharp men. What a role model for him and sooooooo many other youngsters.
Take a look, young America. Be inspired.
You can make something of yourself…pull up your pants, tuck in your shirt…comb your hair…learn to read, speak, write.
Find your skills, strength and go for a fulfilled life.
We will see this young man again. No doubt. He has been inspired.
He is all of the above and more ! I have the greatest admiration for him and his wife. Looking at these pictures makes my heart feel full of happiness. Thank you.
I am so impressed with Obama.Finally, a politician we can be proud of.
Mr. Obama, Mr.PRESIDENT, You are a DIVINE INTERVENTION. Thank You for your GREAT work.
President Barak Obama is the man for the job. A man of dynamics and perserverance. Mr. President we love you and we’re praying for you…
If God be for you, who can be against you! No weapon formed against you shall prosper!My God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory.I could go on and on but why? President Barak Obama is not in his position by happenstance,he is ordained by God. As we lift him up in prayer, we are being blessed by being represented by a man of God! There may be falls or slips due to our humanness but the outcome will always be upright because “The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord,and He is delighted in his way. Though he fall,he shall not be utterly cast down for the Lord upholds him with His hand” Thank you Mr.President and First Lady for stepping out of the boat!
God Bless
Thankyou, sincerely, for not only being willing to take on the most impossible job, but for being the hope,power, love ,perserverance,balance,change agent,and transformation this country and this world needs RIGHT NOW. I AM TOTALLY BEHIND YOU 200%. You stand for fairness, and what is truly needed and wanted and you make possible the seemingly impossible. Thankyou from the depths of my being! Yvonne Stumpf
Walk in his ways always, Mr. President.
How fortunate, our children get to see this, experience this and learn from this.
Our Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent God has purpose in whatever He permits. How amazing it is that He has permitted an Afro-American male to be the president of these United States of America. President Obama is not perfect and shall falter in some decision making. But he has a great big heart of compassion for the less fortunate. It’s most unlikely that his critics would ever accuse him of being selfish, cruel, greedy, or hateful. May God continue to bless The President of The USA and keep him safe (in Jesus’ Name).
What a great and inspiring photo! Thanks for posting this.
Solemn direction with inspiration is your banner Mr. President in these torrential times.
Angels unaware are all around you. It is truly a biblical continuation, the happenings all around us and in the whole world. Scripture, so fitting in these times, well describe all of your challenges, insults, disrespect, degradation faced each day. You are a divine Inspiration as God confounds the so-called wise and then makes them look stupid.
God provides another, and another Moses, Joseph, Stephen, and all those who sacrifice to bring about the best to inspire others to show life has real meaning to leave inspiration for good to others.
There will always be nay Sayers, those ascribing gain through filthy Lugar, those who are dependent on a party to guide them sell their sole to be manipulated, and lord overed. They are like robots without a heart of conscience to be what they can be, a person for all seasons. Instead they become a tool led by a systematic ruler that incurs ill consequences when you get out of line with their directives.
Awesome President… his outstanding service during this time of one crisis after another shows a man that has not folded under the hatred. He has risen to each one with grace and courage. His accomplishments are outstanding. Those who understand being the first in America… know just what it is like to cut through the bull and get the job done.
I agree with Vice President Biden.
