1. There is a pic I didn't see that I saw on TV

I think Obama was oversees and he was sitting outside and he looked so peaceful. I'm sure secret service was close, but they weren't in the picture. They must have more pics in the magazine.

2. I think you must be right. It was a great photo.

The article on Obama's First 100 Days is not yet online. It was written by Joe Klein.

3. I just went through these myself. Some spectacular pix I'd never

seen before. Highly recommend everyone take a gander.

I liked the ones of him studying the pictures in the WH, and the WH butler chatting with the girls.

7. Yes. The one below is one of my favorites.

4. I heard about these pics on TV, thanks for the link. Not sure why I'm crying as I flip through them

.. guess it's still hard for me to believe, too !

5. "Mom always says. . .

Don't throw the ball in the House!"

What fun!

6. I am so proud he is my President

Great Pictures thanx for posting.

"He often spends several moments in silent reflection before making a decision."

10. Here's my fav......

Wouldn't you just think that if the President (well, a typical one anyway, not Barack Obama) if he wanted a chair moved, he'd push a button and call in an aid to move it? lol



.... and yet there he is, totin' a chair.


No ...... wait, THIS is my favorite! I'm about to the point of tears!

Some of you may remember me complaining about this before. This photo show B*sh in the Treaty Room with his nasty dirty shoes propped up on what was US Grant's cabinet room table, the same table where the treaty ending the Spanish American war was signed. It's a piece of furniture that could just as easily be on display at the Smithsonian....



(Bush is shown here with Condi, they are no doubt plotting to destroy America at this very moment)

Anyway, what a difference a day makes.....



... not only has he moved the table, he's sitting at in a manner that gives it the respect it deserves .... and oh yeah, he's READING!

[Jennicut]

11. LOL. Love that he moves the chair himself!

What a guy.
And he treats the White House with respect.

Love this photo:



Wonder what the girls are asking the WH butler?

[Clio the Leo]

12. "what do I do with THIS spoon over here?"

.... is what it looks like to me. :)

[Jennicut]

13. I'd ask if I could have ice cream....every night!

[Clio the Leo]

17. Which would last about five minutes, until your mama found out. :-) NT

[Botany]

20. That is Michelle's Mom there on the left .....

.... with the, "ah, girls don't play me now," look.

[firedupdem]

14. When i was that age, I would have been asking..

"may I just have a cheeseburger and fries? no veggies please"

[Froward69]

15. these two nail it for me...

I do not know exactly why, but they do.

this one more so... as if JFK is warning Obama of the stresses and perils.

[islandgirl808]

16. absolutely love those pics

in every single one, it's as if you can feel the emotion at that very moment. i esp. love the ones with the FLOTUS and the girls :).

18. "Behind-the-Scenes Photos"

These are presumably photographs published by Time which show something not seen in photographs published by Time.
