1. Impressive..

nice to see the S.S in every picture, he's going to need them given the level of vitriol coming from the extreme righties.

[143tbone]

2. The First Family! I'm so proud of them. The SS better be good.

They better be ready to lay down their life for this family.
Thanks for sharing. These photos always make me tear up. What's with that?!

[Jennicut]

3. Sasha is a cutie, isn't she? And Malia is looking more and more grown up

every time I see her!

[speedoo]

5. Malia's gonna be TAAALL!

Just like Mom & Dad.

Sasha, too.

[Arugula Latte]

She's stylin' :headbang: what a cool kid!

[stillcool]

9. she's beautiful...

and in every picture it looks like she adores her father.

[Sheltiemama]

22. I have a feeling ...

... that Sasha will be keeping photographers busy in the coming years. She seems to love being in the spotlight, waving and smiling for the cameras.

[Libby2]

4. Fantastic, thank you!!

I'm smiling through the tears.

[blaze]

6. Love 'em!!

Thanks for posting!

[kayakjohnny]

7. The guy is a walking, living, breathing phenomenon. If people can't see what he's about, they are

missing out on an important part of existence. He possesses so many traits that are intrinsic to life in a society. Family, service to others, compassion, sense of humor, heart, drive, ambition. The guy has it all. And he has the prayers of millions to back him up.

[kayakjohnny]

11. And plus I like his pointy shoes.

[Cha]

10. Too Awesome for words..thanks Jackeens~

Lol..one of those pics reminded me of Forest Gump where he's in all our historical shots. Only we got the real Obama:D

[Jackeens]

18. You're welcome! It's never difficult to find GREAT photos of Obama and family!

[Fleshdancer]

12. how in the world can they look so well rested and relaxed?

I would look like a walking zombie at this point.

[Rhiannon12866]

15. Thank you! Beautiful pix! K&R...

I really do have hope this time, but the only president that I voted for who won was Bill Clinton. *sigh* I'll feel better on the 5th... :-)

BTW, my neighbor, a very nice lady and a retired teacher, who is involved with local Republican candidates, told me that she's voting for Obama. Turns out that her eldest daughter went to school with him at Harvard, and they were friends, had the same favorite professor. I asked her what he was like and she said that he was a brilliant guy, but also incredibly nice. :-)

[renate]

25. what a nice thing to hear!

I certainly never doubted that he's a good person--the little story about the woman in the airport who couldn't afford to put her bags on the plane until he paid for them comes to mind!--but it's just a sweet little bonus extra to hear that he's so "incredibly nice" that he's remembered that way so many years later.

I am SO FREAKIN' EXCITED about having a nice normal loving family in the White House! I don't know why--politicians' personal lives are no more my business than anybody else's is--but for some reason it just makes me happy.

:)

[Rhiannon12866]

32. Thanks! I thought so too!

My neighbor is a nice person, but I know that she supported fellow Republicans, have had them and talked to them on many porch, but that's okay. I want to know what these (people think because local races., around here, tend to be decided in the Republican primaries... *sigh*)

But I am so glad that my neighbor has seen the light, and a bright one. She told me long ago that she was not happy with Bush*, but she now has personal reasons for supporting Obama. I begged her to speak to my mother, her friend... x(

[greenmutha]

16. These photo threads always make me cry. I can't look at them or listen to Obama speak anymore

without turning into a blubbering mess. We are so lucky to have a candidate of his moral fiber. I feel very blessed to be alive during this man's time on Earth. :cry:

[onecent]

17. What a beautiful family. I'm praying for him to make a historical

blow out.

I don't understand where some of the people on DU find the percentages that are being
estimated as we speak.

I wish I knew more about how you can all tell this pre-voting is an advantage to the democrats.

[Binka]

29. Wrong Thread

Sorry!

[Window]

19. Gorgeous!

:kick:

[MJkcj]

20. Beautiful. inspirational

I have never felt this way about a politician before. Somehow I just feel inspired by looking at him. why is that? what is it about Obama that is moving?

I do feel the comparison to Kennedy is accurate. I was too young at the time but i think that this how people felt about him.

[rebel with a cause]

42. I was almost fourteen when Kennedy was running for president

and although I was not caught up in it, my family was still republican, I remember most of my classmates were and one day some of the kids were in tears because someone had said that Pat Nixon was prettier than Jackie and one of the younger teachers at my high school was consoling them. I was kind of laughing inside at them, because I found it all funny than anyone could be so caught up in politics and the people involved. Here I am at 62 and understand it all too well. ;)

By the way, after the election my mother loved the Kennedy's and especially Jackie and the children. I thought her heart was going to completely break when Jack was killed and I now regret that I was not more understanding of her during that time. She also loved Bobby Kennedy and would have probably voted for him. She died in May of 1968, two months after Martin Luther King Jr. was killed and 1 month before Bobby's death. That was a hard year in my life. :cry:

[Raine]

21. I LOVE this family

they're just BEAUTIFUL inside and out...I will be so PROUD to have them representing this country! :loveya: :applause:

[beac]

23. OMG-- Adorable!

Alright folks, let's make sure this man gets elected and that DU reaches it's fundraising goal!

Barack is asking for our help ONE MORE TIME. Can you spare even $5??

[AbbeyRoad]

24. Such a lovely family

I will be so proud to have them represent us to the world.

[geekgrrl]

27. It will be SO NICE to see a lovely family in the white house-- and those kids are taller already!

such a beautiful family this is!!

[Jackeens]

36. Can't believe how tall they're getting!

[jazzjunkysue]

28. You really can't blame the rethugs for resenting this man and his confidence.

They try to reframe it as ego or overconfidence or presumptuousness.

But he's just normal and happy, and that's alien to the McCains and GOP.

All their money really makes them miserable.

[ellius101]

30. Awesome!

Thank you!

[MattNC]

31. Sasha is a daddy's girl

she clearly loves him a bunch! :)

[Terran]

34. She is sooo adorable!

We haven't had any cute kids in the White House since Kennedy (with apologies to Amy Carter).

[ThatsMyBarack]

33. Is it me, or....

Are they all positively GLOWING?

Our future's so bright, we gotta wear shades! B-) :patriot:

[Chichiri]

35. These are really great pics, thank you.

:hi:

[CoffeeCat]

37. Sometimes little things are big clues...

...about people.

I know this may sound silly, but I love that Sasha is wearing a red top, jeans
and purple socks. She looks adorable and lovely. I have a daughter that age,
and I bet you anything that Sasha selected that outfit. It's delightful.
It's exactly how my daughter would dress on a Saturday afternoon. She'd pick
a shirt she likes, some comfortable jeans, and her favorite wild color of socks--not
because they match, but just because she likes them.

I just think this is so cool. This family isn't pretentious. They don't dress up
their children like props. They know the cameras will be all over them, and they
just let those kids be kids.

Those purple socks are the most beautiful thing I've seen today.

[Muttocracy]

39. very true. nt

[Diane R]

49. Exactly. And her 'Corpse Bride' costume was clearly homemade, too.

The Palin kids had commercial costumes. You could imagine Michelle and Sasha making her costume together. I always notice that the kids often wear clothes that kids in thousands of neighborhoods around the country would wear. A real down to earth family.

[Lifelong Protester]

38. Love them as our First Family

I don't know where they all get the energy from~ and I hope they have that puppy picked out for the girls!!

[malik flavors]

40. Did anybody else see these picks and wonder why Obama's pants are so high?

Those suckers are almost above the belly button.

[Miss Chybil]

47. What? You think he should be saggin' it?

He's over 40. We don't do that.

[phusion]

41. This family is way too cool

I'm excited!

[democracy1st]

43. those girls have grown a few inches over the last yr

[MrMickeysMom]

44. No doubt... This is my first family in waiting

I'm also checking out the secret service. You ever wonder how much high alert THESE guys are on?

[angee_is_mad]

45. Sasha is adorable with her dimples

and Malia is just beautiful.

[cameozalaznick]

46. I can't believe

that Sasha is only 10 years old! She's going to be Tall! Look at her in comparison to her parents.

[gblady]

50. Ms. Sasha....

is only 7....

but it is hard to believe Malia is only 10...
she has grown so much this last year...
she really has an air of maturity about her.

[Undercurrent]

48. What a joy it will be to have

small children in the White House again! I love this!

[Hope And Change]

51. K & R!
