I haven't seen these pics before: Caption: Michelle Obama keeps warm wearing her husband's jacket as
they ride a freight elevator with staff and secret service en route to one of the inaugural balls.



On the Today Show website - "White House photographer Pete Souza captures the momentous days surrounding President Barack Obama’s inauguration".

http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/28814847/displaymode/1107/s/2/

There is one of Malia taking a photo of her Dad in his tux before he and Mom go to all the balls also.

1. I love that our President and First Lady are so openly affectionate.
That's so refreshing. They are a great example.

They look so good and so loving together.

36. Yes, indeed. Their obvious kindness, love and respect for one another
brings on tears of joy. I know, sappy, but true.


Peace :thumbsup:

2. I love how in that pic of Malia taking a pic of her dad
and Sasha jumping around, one SS guy is standing there smiling.

It's not too often when you see a SS agent smile.

3. I wanted to post that pic but I don't know how to copy them from a slide-show.
The freight elevator pic was also on the MSNBC website so I was able to nab it there.

Malia's photo's are the ones I'd really like to see - but hopefully never will unless she wants all of us to see them. :)

8. I think you have to copy it and then upload it to your photobucket account.
Too much work for me :)

I'd love to see Malia's pics.
Maybe one day she can publish them. she'd make a fortune.

19. You changed your name too?
It's going to be so hard to know who anybody is anymore :(

About corona - I don't know what she is up too.
She always cracks me up. I wish she'd come back.

21. I'm glad you kept your regular avatar. It makes it really hard to recognize people when they change
their name AND avatar at the same time.

24. Yeah, she helped me with my sig that
will be back in a month when the new name change has transitioned.

I did change my name..I was waiting for Skinner to call amnesty after the Inauguration. I wanted to use my real name in honor of our new open Government and President Barack Obama:fistbump:

20. And I love that she took pictures of the whole weekend just like any other proud child would.
It shows you that they may be extraordinary people, but they're also just like everyone else and have been able to maintain a sense of normalcy and realness.

39. And I love that Malia had changed into comfy clothes - a hoody,
pants and sneakers. They are going to let these kids be kids.

11. The Obamas will almost certainly be the most photographed family in history so far.
And they almost can't take a bad photo! I ALMOST hate them for that.

27. Reggie Love is next to Marvin. Reggie and Marvin are together a lot - with Barack.
Edited on Fri Jan-23-09 11:35 PM by Pirate Smile


Here they are playing with Barack's pumpkin. :D



Just like Marvin was Kerry's body man, Reggie is Obama's.
