Jan. 17, 2013: “The President sings ‘Happy Birthday’ to the First Lady after greeting inaugural brunch guests in the Blue Room of the White House. Of course, the First Lady’s new hairstyle attracted a lot of attention.”



Dec. 25, 2013: “When little kids are around, you never know what will happen. On Christmas Day, the President and First Lady were greeting almost 600 active duty troops and their families at Marine Corps Base Hawaii Kaneohe (known locally as K-Bay). This youngster gave the President a look, which he returned.”



Dec. 10, 2012: “South Africans cheer as President Obama waits in a tunnel at the soccer stadium before taking the stage to speak at Nelson Mandela’s memorial service. It was a long overnight flight to Johannesburg, a few hours on the ground in the pouring rain, and then a long flight back to Washington.”



Nov. 4, 2013: “The President is reflected in a glass table top during a meeting in the Oval Office.”

Great way to end the year, with images of our amazing President. He and the First Lady greeting troops on Christmas Day is just one example of how caring and compassionate they are.

Blessings and a Happy New Year to you!
