6. Anyone who can look at this man and feel revulsion yet look at Donald Trump and feel

admiration is beyond redemption. Trump Never!

From a child, teenager, college student, President

An extraordinary man

13. And how much he resembles his grandfather and mother

Say all you will about his policies and decisions, he and his family are a class act.

Happy Birthday, Mr President and many, many happy returns.

Love how she gives him grief in public, can tell in the picture with the girl scouts that is what she is doing, too funny.


Peace!

American style. The love that BO and MO have for each other and their kids leaps off the page. A family to emulate.

28. Thanks for the memories

Candidate Barack encouraged me to become a precinct chair. I am forever grateful that he did.

I am truly going to miss the Obama's after they leave the White House. I'm just hoping he still has something planned that will forever keep him in the public eye!

Thx for sharing, ailsagirl
