1. I love the Obama First Family

I truly do.

[Whisp]

2. he is. he is a wonderful person, dad and husband, and president.

when was the last time the WH was occupied by someone as genuinely nice and cool as he is?

he even beats out Jimmy Carter in my eyes, and I love Jimmy.

3. Those little girls are adorable. nt

4. not so little anymore...

.... if she's not 6', she's close to it(the President is 6'2" for comparison.)

They're both going to be stunning. They will also have Secret Service detail for the rest of their lives ... for that their father is very thankful I'm sure. ;)

8. I believe they've changed the Secret Service rules

It runs out now after a certain time-period.

14. The children of former presidents have Secret Service until they're 18

That's always been the procedure and that's not changing.

What's changing is the length of time that former presidents have protection. Clinton is the last president who will have Secret Service protection for life. From Bush II onward, they will have protection for 10 years after leaving office.

5. Adorable...Totally. n/t

6. They're such a sweet family. n/t

[felinetta]

7. Beautiful family. Remember when Jenna Bush stuck her tongue out at a

photographer?  

[brownsugar]

9. They seem like a very cohesive family

Not to say their family is better than others, but they look very harmonious.

10. WOW...in 2 years those kids have grown!

Malia must be kicking on 6'!

Great pic...:D

On edit...Wrong name...:blush:

[GoCubsGo]

11. Nope, that would be Malia.

Sasha is the little one. And, Malia isn't even 13 yet! She may wind up taller than her dad if she keeps growing at this rate!

[rasputin1952]

12. Crap...my bad...

I better revise my post...:blush:

[Angrylarry]

13. Nice

Great picture, gotta love it

[Empowerer]

15. Isn't it strange that he's not hugging Sasha back?

Hmmmm. He neglects his children. He's not really a very good father.

:sarcasm:

[catgirl]

16. She looks like she's asking for something

Maybe to keep the Apple, the turkey?

[Odin2005]

17. ACK! Malia is a WEED, LOL!

[Honeycombe8]

18. That's great. Great family. Great father. But I don't really care if my President is a great dad.

It's good if he is. But I want him first and foremost to be a Great President. But then again, maybe the two things go hand in hand.
