PHOTO Phew, a friendly face.

A combination picture shows U.S. President Barack Obama waving to his younger daughter Sasha as she welcomes him home on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, May 14, 1009. Obama was walking from Marine One following an overnight trip to Arizona and New Mexico and Sasha was standing on the Truman Balcony.

1. What a prick that guy is.

I mean, really. Acting like a human being and a model father when he should be singlehandedly repairing all the country's evils NOW, dammit.

The nerve.

:sarcasm:

Cute picture.

6. Must be pretty to cool to HEAR the chopper blades...

... kinda the quivalent of hearing the garage door open when was a kid. :)

7. Yeah - Daddy's home!

[TahitiNut]

8. She's my favorite Obama and they're all terrific. She's just a total winner.

Jam-packed with cute ... huggable ... that kid's got moxie and just bubbles over with life.

9. How absolutley

heart warming is that!

10. Is Sasha is worse than Cheney yet?

;)

[polichick]

11. Sometimes Sasha looks so exuberant (like here) and sometimes...

...so very serious. Interesting kid!

12. Maybe she's just been getting her six year molars or something

She certainly looked a little cranky and out of it around the time of the Easter egg roll last month, and people here were wondering if she was finding life in the spotlight difficult. But now she looks as exuberant again as she was back in January -- and she was the same way sitting with her grandmother at the poetry slam. Her whole demeanor just seems far more relaxed.

So I vote for either teeth or a spring cold. I think that in general Sasha is going to be as perky and enthusiastic about life as her mother.

13. You just can't make this up!

Look at that joy on Sasha's face! She is so happy to see her Daddy -- and he's pretty happy about seeing her. Was there ever that much delight in each other expressed by the previous residents of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue? Not even Xanax could induce a smile that radiant.

14. She's got a sweet smile! n/t

[psychopomp]

16. She's absolutely beaming

What a cute moment...kinda weird that it's being caught on camera(s) for all of us to admire.

[bigwillq]

17. Nice pics!

:)

Sasha is so cute!

[Phx_Dem]

18. Well that just made my day. What a DOLL!

Sasha's cute too. LOL. She's so adorable I could eat her up with a spoon.

I need a Bo fix too. Soon.

I'd like to know who told the Obama family they could get a dog and then hide it away from us. WTF's up with that? ;-)

:hug:

20. I woke up this morning thinking about these photos.

We haven't had an "American Sweetheart" for a while. I nominate Sasha. Oh wait. How about Malia?

[AspenRose]

21. They can share. Co-sweethearts.

They're both wonderful!
