youngest daughter Sevita. She's adorable!

[rebel with a cause]

It just says the photos of her are unavailable. :shrug:

[alsame]

[roguevalley]

30. I love people's faces when they see him. He's a kind man and

understands the transformative power of being kind to others.

[Catshrink]

31. I've always admired the First Butt.

Damn fine.

[HopeOverFear]

43. ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!! @ "First Butt"

I'm stealing that one.

[JanusAscending]

44. Phew!! Can't argue with that ....at all...!!

Be still my heart!

[rasputin1952]

6. Could anyone even imagine bush being so...

human?

It is a pleasure to see the president as a real person!

Imagine, going to the golf course, (or anywhere else) and seeing the president up close...that young boy who caught the president's attention will keep that experience for the rest of his life, up close and personal...:D

[goclark]

7. Now that is a vacation ~ a time to really relax

and enjoy your family and friends.

He earned that vacation ~ does he ever sleep?

Recall the vacation photos from Crawford -- fake like the Turkey in Iraq.

Love the photos.
Thanks

8. You know what's so great about #'s 4 and 9?

That child doesn't care if there's a public option or if there is torte reform .... she doesn't know what an Olympics is nor does she care if they're in Chicago .... she could care less about Iran or Afghanistan.

She just knows she has an awesome Unca.

[Jennicut]

9. The Prez's niece is adorable! These kids gravitate toward him.

Also, Hillary and Joe are SO not paying any attention.
And wow, Obama is in great shape. :)

[a kennedy]

10. That one of Joe and Hillary is just the best.....I just started laughing

out loud when I saw this one.....it's great. Thanks for all of them.....

[MissHoneychurch]

11. Regarding pic #2

ever heard of Monty Python and the "Ministry of Silly Walks"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqhlQfXUk7w&feature=related

Watch it and you'll understand :D

[Jackeens]

12. LOL, excellent comparison!! But I still don't get "puts a little body English"!!

:shrug:

[MoJoWorkin]

13. A follow-through motion of the body....

as after bowling a ball, in a semi-involuntary or joking effort to control the ball's movement

[Jackeens]

14. Ah, thank you MoJoWorkin - never heard the expression, my education is complete!

:toast:

[MoJoWorkin]

15. I learn something new everyday, too---especially on the "internets" LOL

I knew this one from being around for 64 years, but thought I would give you the dictionary definition, as it is always better than mine.

[Cha]

28. Yeah, an American colloquialism..another example is

when playing pool, you might put some English on it(you can imagine what that entails) to help the ball go in the right pocket.

[riverwalker]

16. I love my President

I still get the "am I dreaming this?" too good to be true feeling. The last 8 Bush years were so traumatic and nightmarish, there is a collective PTSD effect.
We are safe now, we are really safe.
I love my President. Four beautiful words.

[mscuedawg]

18. You took the words from my lips...or fingertips...

I love my President! I respect my President! I would love to be in the same room as my President...to spend a few minutes in his presence.

Its GREAT to have that feeling!!! :hug:

[mscuedawg]

19. Jackeens...you have outdone yourself! These are fabulous!

Thanks for sharing...much needed smiles from dreary, rainy Ohio!!! HUGE :hug:

[Jackeens]

21. You're welcome mscuedawg!

Hello from rainy Dublin!

I think all of these were taken by the official White House photographer Pete Souza (they use some other photographers occasionally), the man's a genius, I love his work!

When you have time have a look through the White House Flickr site, beautiful stuff!

:toast:

[mscuedawg]

24. Awesome!!!

Can't wait to check that out and share! Thanks so much! :loveya:

Is that Dublin, Ireland or Dublin, Ohio?!?!? ;-)

[Peacetrain]

20. I set #4 as the wallpaper on my desktop.. I LOVE it.. Thank you Jackeens

[Jackeens]

22. Love that one too Peacetrain, it's a beaut!

:toast:

[vaberella]

23. So I'm superficial!! Why is the White House overrun by hotties?! Dear God Almighty!

I mean I can't handle it. Between the Staffers and the SS---I'm speechless--this is not even mentioning my President and VP who are hotties in their own right. All of them are sexy men with power (and needless to say money or at least moderately okay when looking at Biden). I mean I can't handle it.

Ugh and the White House parties too much. Lazy bums!! :D :D :D

[Princess Turandot]

26. He can't come out and say it..

but somehow, I bet Pete Souza et al thank God every day for the change in 'scenery', so to speak!

[HopeOverFear]

27. I know right? HA!

[Hutzpa]

29. I like that second photo

it's dying for a caption, how about it.....

[PopSixSquish]

The swinging up in the air is such a Dad thing...

[HopeOverFear]

45. All Hail the Presidential Badonk.

[Joe Chi Minh]

46. "Gawd love him" (Joe Biden), as his mother used to say. "He's a terrific guy.

And he's good at his job, too!!!!"

[DWilliamsamh]

47. The President has got some UPS! (N/T)

[Wetzelbill]

48. Biden is always making somebody laugh

He must be a really funny guy.
