Seated clockwise from the President are: Prime Minister David Cameron of the United Kingdom, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev of Russia, Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany, Herman Van Rompuy, President of the European Council, José Manuel Barroso, President of the European Commission, Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda of Japan, Prime Minister Mario Monti of Italy, Prime Minister Stephen Harper of Canada, and President François Hollande of France.

1. A good approach, I think.

Everyone goes to the cabin and chats about stuff over dinner. I like it.

2. Pretty sure this is a better idea than clearing brush.

3. This guy's the coolest, smartest Prez since Kennedy.

Everyone should enjoy him while it lasts. And yes, he's got the Big Dawg beat IMO.

8. Agreed.

We have had nothing but uncharismatic charlatans for too long a time. No one truly wants the Presidency any more. Look at Bush II, Gore, Kerry, Dukakis, Romney.

None of them had the enthusiasm and sheer style of Obama.

4. I can see wanting to sit next to Hollande, to meet the new guy

But why waste an opportunity on Cameron? Certainly Merkel, Noda and Medvedev are more important.

5. Looking at these pictures makes me so happy to have this man at the helm

He truly is a Saint if ever there was one. I really love our President

Thank you for these feel good OP's showing our President in his every day persona
Peace and have a great weekend
