This week the White House released the much-anticipated official Obama family photo on its Flickr page. The portrait was taken in the Green Room of the White House on September 1 by famed Vanity Fair photographer Annie Leibovitz, notable for her decades of work capturing the images of rock stars and Hollywood's elite as well as for her multimillion-dollar fortune's recent collapse. The seated and beaming first family looks happy and relaxed, with Sasha and Malia Obama each draping an arm over mom and dad. (See the first family's Flickr photostream.)

2. I'm not exactly sure why this unrec thing is so popular but

topics like these certainly do go to show how obviously right wing lurkers are abusing it.

11. The unrecs always come first

My guess as to why: The paid disruptors have enough time to be always on the job because, well, it's their job.

3. Honestly, for such a gorgeous family and such a talented photographer, I'm not entirely

impressed by the composition. But I certainly wouldn't unrec the thread. The worst photo of the Obamas is still gorgeous. They're just lovely people.
