The link at medium.com (referenced in the ktuu link) works better, but I can't get the whole thing to copy.

1. thanks - I think he really

enjoyed himself there and the people seemed to like him too - lots of smiles. Especially love the ones with the little kids.

3. His visit produced much good will .

Yes, I think he had a great time here, and I've read so many positive comments from Alaskans. It was a great outreach.

2. Thank you for these, my dear Blue!

They are wonderful, and so beautiful!

The one that I loved the most was where President Obama was kneeling down in front of the glacier, catching some of the water that was dripping off the glacier...A wonderful photo!

5. It seems like you have to go to that link from within the KTUU article.

I think the images are protected and were used by KTUU with permission, but I agree that the full-sized photos are much, much better. I love seeing all the happy faces.

9. This version should work..

I think the '@' sign prevented the full pasted URL from being clickable in the post above. I used the toolbar link command here:

Thanks for posting the article!

6. These pictures really show

what a genuinely nice person he is. Mingling with the people, all smiles and handshakes, no airs about him at all.

12. Oh come on!

Everyone knows he's "aloof." I have always found that meme ridiculous. It's obvious that he is full of affection and really enjoys being with people. I suspect he just doesn't like hanging out with bigots.

7. Haters *on all sides* can keep hating...Obama will go down as one of the most beloved presidents

of these United States.

Bank that.

Some of y'all will lie on yourselves 20 years from now, having been on the wrong side of history.

10. I love the photos but I'm filled with teeth-grinding despisement for that Epiduo ad that covers them

There's no X to allow me to make it go away.

The https://medium.com/@WhiteHouse/behind-the-lens-photographing-alaska-for-real-this-time-2f466ddf8f7d link, however, is awesome.

I bet the people who got to meet him were delighted.
