I honestly try not to pay much attention to the first family. I've never been much of a celebrity follower and it feels oddly voyeuristic to me. I had not realized how tall and beautiful the girls were getting. What a lovely family photo.

Constantly playing with grace and class all while the racists shout slurs at him from the stands.

Class. Dignity. Self-integrity. Compassion.


I bet they have a lot of fun as a family!

All those qualities can not be faked. You see the love they have for each other, mutual respect as well.



PS~ that has to be the best picture ever. He's just shrugging them off.

However, the reason I love that picture so much is because of the slightly out of focus Mrs. Obama and the smile on her face. That is the kind of smile that melts a man's heart and makes his knees weak.

Mr. Obama is one lucky man imo.

Although I may not agree with all of his policies and decisions, I applaud him for the way in which he executes the office under some extremely adverse conditions.

I know behind closed doors they must feel the need to let it out, yet I doubt that it happens often. Why? Because of the love and mutual respect that they have for one another. That is a family that communicates and they do it well. Yes indeed, they have class. Some people think money can buy you that, they are wrong. It's what is in your heart and mind.

trying to anger and demonize this man, this Obama, that is the truth.

Not gonna happen, asswipes.
