Cool in the rain...

[montana_hazeleyes]

19. Damn HAWT in the rain!

[VOX]

29. That awesome shot in the rain is by New York Times' staff photographer Damon Winter...

And that particular capture won him first place in the National Press Photographers Association’s 2009 Photojournalism awards.

I have a print of it, framed with a authentic Obama-signed book page.

[suegeo]

42. You are either very lucky or...

Hard work really does pay off

[Hoyt]

[eleny]

[Butterflylady]

Compared to what we have now. Ugh!

[sarge43]

46. Yes, Barry and Joe were.

Oh. Right.

Barack and Michele certainly are. Two beautiful couples.

Miss them both.

[hibbing]

7. Uh..well...hello Michelle hubba hubba

[DesertRat]

8. My copy of Pete Souza's book of photos

Obama:An Intimate Portrait arrived the other day. The photos make me feel nostalgic and wistful.

[George II]

11. That's one of my favorites from Obama's eight years. And here's my ultimate favorites....

....from the campaign. That's Obama in the middle:

[lunatica]

14. Now I just want to cry

I miss them so much! I also miss the feeling of security. Of knowing we were in good hands.

[montana_hazeleyes]

20. lunatica, your post says it perfectly.

[DesertRat]

21. Oh, I love that!

[George II]

23. I've got to get my hands on that book of Souza's, too.

[DesertRat]

32. I ordered mine from Barnes and Noble

It's really a wonderful collection.

[TNNurse]

9. Thanks for sharing.

I just wrapped the Pete Souza picture book for my sister, it is hard to give away.

[Penn Voter]

10. One classy family! n/t

[bluestarone]

13. yep

for sure

[bronxiteforever]

12. It seems so long ago. Smart and compassionate.

We were so fortunate to have President Obama. K & R.

[BigmanPigman]

15. I have always noticed that the fucking moron never smiles, ever!

He always looks so dour and he scolds like the Grinch. I have read that he never is really happy, even when sitting on his golden throne. He is a thoroughly miserable creature who wants everyone to be as miserable as he is.

[DesertRat]

22. Have you also noticed how he crosses his arms in front of himself?

He looks and acts like he's miserable.

[PatSeg]

16. It is even better in retrospect

Sometimes we don't realize how good something is while it is happening.

[malaise]

17. Lovely collection

Thanks

[kag]

18. Such class and dignity.

God, I miss that.

45 is such an embarrassment. Every time he opens his mouth I just cringe thinking the whole world is hearing this and thinking that this is who we wanted as our president. It's just so humiliating.

Obama was so classy, so smart, so professional. He filled me with pride. His family filled me with pride. I want him back!!!!

[workinclasszero]

24. I always liked this pic

[Leith]

47. Mine, Too

He has a way of connecting with people. It says so much that he automatically lowered his head to show a little boy that they were the same. It didn't take any political calculation or posing - he just did it. That who Obama is.

[workinclasszero]

50. Yes

Children seem to love President Obama. That's a good sign to me.

[Cha]

25. Mahalo for this, SummerSnow!

[SummerSnow]

44. Thanks Cha :)

[Irish_Dem]

26. Miss them so much.

[VOX]

27. And Democrats ran away from him in 2014 midterms, thus handing the Senate to Republicans.

Sometimes my party makes me crazy. This was more purity + fear crap. They should have embraced him AND the ACA. The 2014 midterms actually opened the door for tRump.

The photos of the Obamas are priceless. Imagine having a genuinely human family in the White House! Obama is one of the BEST presidents we ever had. Never had to worry about ethics, temper, weirdness, criminality, etc.

What Republicans did/said to these beautiful people was/is reprehensible and overtly racist. Pence, McConnell, Ryan, Hatch, et al made time this week to publicly line up to lick tRump's boot-soles, ask for "sloppy seconds," and practically declare him a saint and savior. But Obama? Well, per McConnell: "The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president."

[dhol82]

28. Such a genuine person.

Miss him so much.

[FloridaBlues]

30. Thank you for posting these wonderful pictures

We all need a feel good moment.

[dhol82]

31. Thank SummerSnow, I just appreciated the pix.

[erronis]

48. And with the current pResident, we all need a good movement.

Sorry to tag this on your nice sentiments. I just feel like a huge purge is what we will need to get rid of the crap that has taken over our government.

[Demtexan]

33. Need a time machine to go back.

Such a short time ago.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

34. Well qualified and classy couple

[DFW]

35. Obama and Biden were SUCH a great team, Best rapport 've ever seen of either party

[URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL]

[MrModerate]

36. I remember when the White House stood for decency, intelligence, and grace. n/t

[Botany]

37. God how I miss that man Class, grace, and Daddy Cool too

[salin]

39. I *love* this

have never seen it before. It's bookmarked to watch at times when feeling disgusted or embarrassed about the state of the WH and it's occupant.

[Botany]

43. I have seen some of President Obama getting down on his knees or bending over so ....

.... he could be at eye level with a disabled person or a child.

The video of Barack walking on the mall and how he went out of his way
to make people feel happy shows what real grace the man has.

[The Wielding Truth]

51. Wow.... just , wow.

[BlueMTexpat]

38. True "family" and

other values! Oh, how they are missed!

[maddiemom]

40. All wonderful, but the LAST picture...

Can you imagine Trump and Pence unabashedly enjoying themselves with such genuine glee?

[dchill]

41. That was definitely a BFD!

[B Stieg]

45. "Those were the days..." (nt)

[saidsimplesimon]

49. Ah, memories of a

thoughtful, qualified and charming President. Thank you as well for the memories of a wonderful White House family.

It seems our Russian friends have a hold on youtube today. I get requests to verify I am not a bot. Since I have failed the tests, fu youtube, russia and the rump horse you rode in on.

I wanted to play "Hail to the Chief" for the last legitimate President of our Republic. Now, we have Caligula. DJT's days in the sun as fearful leader will pass in an instant as time is measured.

[kskiska]

52. Seems like a lifetime ago.

Back when we lived in a "normal" world and human decency prevailed.
