4. That's Sweet

It's 2018 in America I'm so disappointed how people treat each other

8. Thanks. We needed that.

[Shanti Mama]

9. Fills my heart. Thank you!

10. It's still very difficult to be reminded of what we had

only to be reminded of the raging dumpster fire we have now. I'll never understand how we went from that to this.

15. Complicity. Celebrating an election win months before the election even occurred.

Arrogance. Laziness.

Never again though.

11. Gorgeous is the word

Thank you

[fierywoman]

12. Made me cry, for the beauty of the moment.

[erronis]

13. Darn! Another one of those times I try to hit DU Rec multiple times...

If I had any valentine hearts to give out still, they'd all go to this one.







Of course, my paranoia kicks in and says "What if the repuglicans/russians decide which portraits are allowed?"

Stupid old rational brain - get with the Program!

[oasis]

14. That is certainly one to remember.

[yonder]

16. Wow! I got goosebumps. still got 'em

[Hekate]

17. Gorgeous. Perfect composition. Warms my heart...

[NNadir]

18. Absolutely awesome. Thanks for bringing...

...to our attention.

There is a huge difference between grace and the moral and intellectual elegance of the Obamas when compared with the venal garbage class now staining the White House with their slovenly classless and oppressively boorish behavior.

19. Epic! This is briilliant..

Mahalo, kpete!

[mahannah]

20. Excellent!

[kpete]

22. From another angle

Amazing response EVERYWHERE!

[Skittles]

23. nice but....

that is a very poor likeness of Michelle

[samplegirl]

35. This is a great post dont get me wrong!

I think this portrait of her was very unflattering. The dress looks like that of the southern slave era. I did not care for these portraits. I can think of much prettier ways to capture Michelle Obama.

[Skittles]

39. the one of Barack looks like him but the painting itself is hideous

I don't get it either.

[Honeycombe8]

24. Very moving. This is important, for little girls to see themselves reflected in a portrait like this

Little boys see these things all the time. They know from an early age that they can become anything, that society easily accepts them in any role. The impact is enormous.

26. What a beautiful moment.

[onethatcares]

27. as an over 65

caucasian male, I think this is beautiful.

Dream large girl, dream large.

[demigoddess]

28. I think the look on the girl's face is magnificent.

That the guy (guard, I assume) is allowing her to drink in the experience is so sweet.

[ailsagirl]

29. Love it-- thank you

[a kennedy]

30. Thank you for posting this......

I absolutely love the guard watching the little one.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

31. The awe, the wonder, the beauty and the innocence....

all in one beautiful photo.

Thanks for posting...we're all inspired.

33. This is truly wonderful!

What an inspiration! What a moment!

[Soxfan58]

34. I don't think that portrait captures Michelles beauty

But that picture is priceless.

[lunatica]

36. That photo is a keeper

[smirkymonkey]

37. What a beautiful photo!

Everything about it - the amazed look on the face of the little girl, the look of the guard as he gazes upon the awestruck little girl, the larger than life portrait of Michelle Obama. Such a perfect moment!

[Silver Gaia]

38. So beautiful...
