The First Family Heads West

By Nerdy Wonka 119 Comments


President Barack Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama and their daughters Malia Obama and Sasha Obama leave the White House before boarding Marine One on the South Lawn. The First Family is traveling to New Mexico and tour Carlsbad Caverns National Park to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the creation of America’s national park system.

Thanks President Obama. You and your family have graced this White House with love and respect. You calmed us all those years ago when you entered that House during our worst financial crisis. Your wit and self depreciating humor made us laugh when we might have cried. We have gained much respect around the world that we lost under Bush.

You have been calm and steady, taking it one step at a time. You knew that this was a long game and would never happen overnight. Your calm and steady leadership brought us this far. Soon another will take your place. Your revolution will continue.

And that someone will carry plenty of water for them. It's heat-wave time out west. If they stay in the caverns, they'll be fine

That touched me, as they do all the time. I am so happy to be graced with this family, this President, in such a terrible atmosphere. In my life he's been the smartest and the best. I see no one who will match this class act. Peace to the Obamas!

They are always paired Malia and Obama, who looks just like her dad and Sasha and Michele who looks just like her mom.

They make a good family unit. I will miss them terribly. Yet they will move on and I await what they will all do next.

They have done us proud.

He seems sentimental and I imagine he will hold on to the girls as they allow as long as he can.

I am for H this time around.

I haven't been posting much, kind of crazy here and I post more elsewhere. I have had some stuff going on and just have been quiet lately.

Hugs to you. Laura~

books. It was my first impression...wow, this guy is a fabulous author. But, then after watching the last correspondent's dinner - starting to think...wow, this guy would be really great as a talk show host. I decided I want him to take over the Daily Show.

they may as well have gone to Mexico!

Wish they'd come up to Santa Fe. I'd love to see them walking along the Palace of the Governors and chatting with the Native Americans who are selling their wonderful stuff there.

Beautiful, but I really don't appreciate the butt shots of the First Lady and her daughter. That is not a respectful shot.

Sad that there is so much else about my country I can't be proud of.

a beautiful selection of photos! Thanks so much for posting, ss2!

Here's one to remind us of how far they have all come! I love little Sasha's BIG smile in this one! If only the horrible creature on the right could be photo-shopped out!
