[LancetChick]

2. Love it! But...

... what are those things in the wooden bowl on the table? Onions? They don't look like apples.

4. Gourds --

white gourds.

[LancetChick]

5. Yes, white gourds makes sense.

I have no idea why I was so bothered by that, but I feel much better now.

[BouzoukiKing]

11. Yes - I also keep several gourds on my coffee table.

That way, when I serve pork snacks I can gourd my loins...

18. Welcome to DU, LancetChick!

Glad you're here. There was a thread here not long ago in which someone brought up that there should be a coffee table book of President Obama with kids - all the photos we've seen of him with kids, either meeting them on campaign appearances or visits to schools, or when they visit the White House and/or the rare invitation to the Oval Office. So many of them are SO WONDERFUL! They should be compiled into one really beautiful package.

25. hee hee!

I have no idea why this is cracking me up! But I can relate----Onions?!??!!!!?? What the heck are ONIONS doing in a tasteful coffee table arrangement in the Oval Office?

Is this the scandal the pukes are desperate to find??????? President Obama's favorite snack==raw onions???!!?!??!?!?!1/1?

9. Really big nuts, alright!

[calimary]

21. Welcome to DU, CindyinIndy!

Good to have you with us! I love this photo! I love all the photos of our President with kids. They're ALL keepers! So glad he's in the White House for another four years - what a relief! As I read around, I'm truly struck by HOW MANY posts and comments I've seen, on so may sites and blogs aside from here, where the observation is the same, the same assemblage of four words: "America dodged a bullet." Good grief, did we EVER!!!!!

15. Fatherhood is an adventure

and I'm imaging the young man working up enough courage and even stopping at the WH to pick her up. Ballsy kid, concerned dad, drama of mundane human life that brings a smile.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

26. is that really a kid going on a date with Sasha?

I thought it was just a politiLOL ?!

[irisblue]

28. looks a little young..

I think not. When boys started calling my niece, my brother was freaked out, and about 6 months later, he relaxed a bit when he realized he'd terrorized those boys enough to keep them,...behaving..sorta. not just a job, an adventureparenthood is.
