[roguevalley]

7. so nice. thank you. :)

[SteppingRazor]

2. Prediction: Obama's face in that first photo is going to be Photoshopped ad infinitum. n/t

[annabanana]

4. no kidding... think of the caption possibilities!. . .n/t

[tavalon]

14. Actually, I've seen that look in another picture

He was holding a baby and I wanted to caption that one "whoops! Baby pooped on me!"

19. Let it be--

I've shown similar expressions to children, dogs, young adult students and and others in trying to get my points across. It has been wonderful and effective. It's not something staged; it's just what happens. President Obama is enjoying himself in his interactions with students.

People don't like it? People Photoshop it? It's their loss.

3. Just too good! And, the icing on the cake, the cherry on the sundae

is that there's NO PET GOAT!!!!!!

[Terran]

5. He looks tired

I think I would be too, with the pace he's setting.

[Parker CA]

6. And stressed, and annoyed, and like he wants to throw his shoes at the pukes. n/t.

[gblady]

10. that's what I thought, too....

his eyes don't have their usual spark!
Hope he's getting enough rest...
(goin' into Mom-mode!)

8. Continuing a theme

Love the pic of MLK over his shoulder ... watching him sort of. :):)

[Uzybone]

9. Thanks for the pics, especially needed on days like this.

[denese]

11. When will I get used to..

..a President that knows which end of a book is up?
What a relief.
Thank you for these, as always.

[firedupdem]

12. Thanks for these. Good people these two. I hope those kids

enjoyed the day.

[tavalon]

13. This is so fricken shallow of me, but I love Michelle's dress

And I love the engagement you can see from both of them. The last ones were phoning it in, these two are really involved!

[windbreeze]

15. What a relief...

Obama and Michelle held the book, right side up...wb

[Kind of Blue]

16. I'm just sitting here amazed that Pres. Obama

was able to find the time to visit the kids. He's amazing.
Thanks so much for posting these great photos, because I do stress out and pray for his continue good health, energy, and safety. What a boost. :thumbsup:

17. So do we think this trip was planned?

I mean, if I knew I was about to have the day he was having, I'd take a mid-afternoon break and hang with seven year olds to put things into perspective.

Of course *I* would have gone out onto the playground with them. Swinging is a great stress reliever. :)

[Jennicut]

25. Come to my house, I have a 3 and 4 year old!

The only stress is the mess they make. I love Barack and Michelle's genuine interest in the kids, they are such real people. :)

[janx]

18. They so enjoy this--I love them!

The grading aspect of teaching can be a chore, but the interactions with students of any age is unadulterated JOY.

[JanusAscending]

20. He does have a bit of

Bill Cosby in him! Especially in photo # 18 !! also in #8. He's a great educator as well as a great communicator!!(POTUS)

[JNelson6563]

21. Beautiful!

:toast:

[mshasta]

22. sorry but... I hate the firs lady hair style

love her clothes but she needs to do something about her hair an make up

[Cha]

23. They're into

it!

[DevonRex]

24. I love #17. Barack looks like he's really interested in what the child said,

like he/she must have said something that really made Obama think. So it looks like more than just a photo op to me.
