1. In the last one he looks like hes driving a steamroller and about to squash Romney/Ryan.

7. Actually, he was about to squash McCain/Palin.

Most of those photos are from 2008. Sasha is much taller and older looking than that now.

2. He really seems to be the president of the people. Not any other candidate would

get down to the child's level to speak with them and also get on a bumper car. How real can it get.

3. These are terrific!

Best ones I've ever seen.

4. I think those last two photos are from 4 years ago.

How time flies!

5. Yes, and it appears

he's wearing the same shirt.

[WI_DEM]

6. Darn are they?

Oh well.

[yesphan]

8. That's prolly just his "goin to the fair" shirt.

I've got shirts that I wear for certain occasions, that aren't sports related.

13. Each year we buy our Christmas tree from the same place, and they take your picture.

And then, the next year, they have a book of the pictures from the prior year, and when you find it, they give it to you.

Well, my daughters noticed that for 3 years in a row, I wore the same light blue T-shirt, fortunately under a different long sleeve button down shirt (its not cold enough here to wear a coat).

My daughters spent some time discussing it, and apparently, I tended to wear that shirt only on Saturday, which is the day we usually get the tree. They also decided this was unacceptable, and I needed some new T-shirts.

My two daughters are about the same age as Obama's. I wonder if they've noticed and given him grief about it too.

10. I think same style, different shirt - the one today seems to have

a prominent blue stripe the older one does not have.

OTOH- I wish I could fit in my clothes from 4 years ago!

11. What a hoot!

I thought they were all old photos, except for the one of the boy with the 2012 button. That was based on the last two photos. Then I saw another thread, where the President was looking at drought-damaged corn. I wonder if it was intentional.

9. Snagged. Tks!

[sadbear]

12. No corndogs Mr. President.

[MineralMan]

14. I do not think you will ever see another candidate

with a corndog in his or her mouth. Ever. That lesson has been learned, I believe.

15. how cool is it to have a Prez who isnt a dick?

I'd like to have a beer with him and maybe Carter and that's about it.

16. He was in Oskaloosa, IA, today, too... and my family there saw him! We're all so jealous! n/t

17. In the final picture in the bumper car the President reminds me of .......

an early Dick Van Dyke.

18. Actually that's CANDIDATE Obama at the IA state fair.

I was there 4 years ago and took some pics too.
