1. Breaths of fresh air, both of them! nt

[flpoljunkie]

2. It's apparent on both their faces how happy they are to be together campaigning today.

What a handsome First Couple!

[azmouse]

3. What a beautiful couple!

They'll look great in the White House! I can't wait til next Jan.

[Eurobabe]

9. wrong place! rofl!

[undeterred]

4. This is the first time I've seen touches of gray in his hair...

what a campaign will do.

[Beaverhausen]

6. I was just going to post that

Nice to see pics of my old hometown. My family lived in Blue Bell from 1967 through 1992. They are still closeby.

Spring there is gorgeous.

11. He's always had it, but it doesn't show so much when it's short. Too busy to get to his barber!

Hillary's cuts may cost around $300 at the Christophe Salon in Washington DC, but Barack has been getting his hair done at $20 a pop with the same Hyde Park barber for the last 13 years.

17. I'm so sorry I didn't know him when

I lived in Hyde Park for 19 years and left in 2000. Been to his church a couple of times. I met his wife in front of the grocery store in 1999 collecting signatures when he was running for congress. But I wonder if I ever crossed paths with him and didn't know it. I wasn't 'political' then, so I didn't know who he was.

A little grey makes him look distinguished. And after he's president a few years, he'll have a lot.

21. Interesting you met Michelle collecting signatures at the grocery for his Congressional run

[Eurobabe]

12. No, that's what a Clinton can do...

:rofl:

[livetohike]

5. So refreshing.....

Have we ever seen George and Laura look at each other that way?? or even smile together (when it wasn't drug induced?).

[GoesTo11]

7. Or any of the other first couples?

Not counting Jimmy & Rosayln.

[livetohike]

10. My memory is fading fast

but I think on Bill Clinton's first Inauguration I saw them look happy at the ball :shrug:.

[GoesTo11]

15. Oh yeah.

You're right.

This year, I really haven't seen it.

Love that O took off Valentine's day to be with his wife, took the family vacation. This says a lot about who he is.

8. Why do some of those pictures...

...look like they were taken by a stalker hiding in the bushes?

(Still like them though) :)

14. These AP photographers travel with Barack Obama, and they take damn good photos

[Zachstar]

16. The AP is known to have the best photographers in the buisness.

When I was waiting for shuttle launches I would routinely notice that AP photos of the shuttle stack look FAR better than their NASA counterparts.

13. Cute!

[Zachstar]

18. Great Photos

I'm deciding about the hair. My gut tells me that the touch of gray makes him look more presidential. Yet I slightly prefer it shorter and without the gray.

Small detail.

19. Lovely

thanks for sharing.
