  1. A precious moment of fun. Look at the broad smiles. Anyone, even a President can enjoy a moment, laughter, a smile and brighten the day for others.

    Thank you for sharing.

  3. President Obama is the most well-rounded, down-to-earth public person I know. The U.S and the world need to appreciate how lucky they are to have his talent and leadership at this time.

    The guy makes the task of governing seem effortless. What a difference one mn can make. Do you remember the last eight years? We spent most of them hiding or cowering from Bin Laden’s tapes. Republicans were peddling them because they benefitted them politically.

    Thank you for this website.

  5. O! To be Reggie Love!!! To be right there, witnessing this great man day in and day out! He is the luckiest man in the world.

  6. Im glad you still have the veto. use it well and often. To wipe that smug expression of the face of the new comeres. be nice about it though.

  7. Hey Mr Pres, “you’re a bbaaddd mama jama”, keep up the good work. You are making your Momma proud.

  8. I am very glad that President Barack Obama is MY president and very proud of his work, accomplishments since taking office and glad to be a black man!

  10. Colour doesn’t matter, we all bleed he same; red. Do people realize our almighty Lord Jesus wanted Obama to be the leader,HE IS DOING A GREAT ONE, of our country. He is such a loving, caring, honest, and sometimes misunderstood, and loves our USA. I would not like to have his job. Keep up the good work. MUCH LOVE TO YOU AND THE FAMILY, I pray for you,family, and our soldiers daily,,,,,,bernadine

  11. I am 80 years old and I have more confidence in President Obama than any other President in my lifetime. God Bless you and your family and Thank You for your service to our country and the world,

  12. Despite all the adversity he continues to rise above the storm. Truly he has to be ordained because America would have placed him their under any other circumstances. Therefore like David love for Isreal OBAMA is in the right place and time. To GOD BE ALL THE GLORY!

  13. How much we appreciate this man. He remains cool and loving while reaching out to give opportunity to all.
    Such dedication and intelligence must be why he has the ability to remain cool while sitting on the unimaginably hot seat of the Presidency.
    How much better to extend the peace option than sacrificing our or the worlds youth in mindless conflict.

  14. No matter what, he’s always on. He brings such grace, humor, strength and levity to this country. Wonderful to know that the most powerful man in the world, will take time to make us smile. He’s correct that the White House belongs to the people and I would hate to see it return to the few.

  15. I think president Obama is God’s sent to rescue America in terms of friction. Someone like him does not come so often. So, people should take him and his work serious. He is a good man with a good heart.

  16. Even as the right-wing and others continue to wage war on our President, I still have the audacity to hope. We have to fight the hype that is regularly seen and heard in the media, and we have to remind and/or inform people of the accomplishments that have quietly and steadily been made by this administration. It is important, it is imperative.

  17. I think these pictures are excellent and our president represents our country well. His conduct and his speaches are quite moving.
