Oh my God, it is Obama: Mom takes photos of ex-POTUS holding her baby in Alaska airport (look at that kid's face!) https://apnews.com/e8c2a84d70bf4481b0406ee3562c4417/'Oh-my-God,-it-is-Obama':-Alaska-mom,-baby-meet-ex-president
An Alaska mother is cherishing cellphone photos she snapped of her wide-eyed 6-month-old baby in the arms of former President Barack Obama.
Jolene Jackinsky was at Anchorage International Airport on Monday looking for an airline when she ended up in a waiting area for private flights where a man she thought looked like Obama was sitting.
As I got closer, I thought: Oh my God, it is Obama, she recalled Friday from Newhalen, a small Alaska village where shes vacationing.
Obama then walked up to her and asked Who is this pretty girl?

(18,402 posts)It seems these days that it's only babies and the occasional glimpse of our former president can make me feel there's still some good left in the world.
Ex-Potus is accessorizing well, with the Under Armour sweater and the smart watch!

(9,245 posts)And I DO mean our LAST President (because I don't think we'll ever have another one elected by the people).
The baby girl is ADORABLE! I love her hat. Little hug magnet!

(58,724 posts)I indicated to him that if, in fact, you plan to keep your dark hair, then you have to start dyeing it early, Obama said to laughs.
You hit a certain point, Obama added to the chestnut-haired prime minister, when its too late. Youll be caught.

Watch: President Obama protects wedding ring as he shakes hands with public
GREENSBORO, N.C. One of the jobs of the leader of the free world is to shake hands with the public. A lot of hands.
For President Obama, that means taking additional precautions and we don't mean by using a lot of disinfectant afterward.
The video shows the president approaching a rope line at the airport here in Greensboro, where he is spending Tuesday at a town hall-style event on race and a campaign rally for Hillary Clinton. After leaving Air Force One, Obama walked toward a small crowd that had gathered to welcome him on the tarmac.
Watch as Obama, who recently celebrated his 24th wedding anniversary, deftly takes off his wedding band and slips it into his pocket before shaking hands.
