The first day that I was back at work after the birth of my son, I headed into the Oval Office for a meeting with the President and other members of the senior staff. Before I could get two steps into the door, the President asked to see some baby pics. Since I don’t typically carry my smartphone into the Oval Office, I went back down the hall to my office to retrieve it. When I walked back into the Oval, my colleagues were preparing to begin the meeting when POTUS insisted that he get to see the photos before we started.

A few months later, on my birthday, the President presented me with a framed copy of a photo (taken by White House photographer Pete Souza) of me proudly looking over his shoulder while he looks at the baby photos on my phone. That photo hangs in my office near my desk today.

It’s an apt reminder that even in the face of daunting challenges and a busy schedule, family comes first - even for the President of the United States.

Such an awesome story. Our President is a remarkablely great and loving family man!

1. Despite accusations toward the President of his being aloof and remote,

I think he has done better than any other Chief Executive in being the people's President; familiar, accessible, concerned with the daily stresses working Americans face.

I will miss him terribly when he leaves office.

3. IMHE most insults and accusation are p[rojections from the insulter and it's actually

their issue or problem they are accusing the other of.
I think Trump proves this when he calls other people crooked or little.
