[Clio the Leo]

2. lol, Mitch has a look on his face as if he knows he's going to be bragging about that photo one day.

"Here's a photo of me and President Obama, he said I was his favorite Republican because of all of the help I gave him when I was in the Senate!" lol

[Cha]

about to burp feathers.

[Clio the Leo]

[Cass]

I love the way he looks at her...his love for her is written all over his face.

[Cha]

8. Always a treat to see your photo threads

I love them!

And so does most of the American public, despite the right wing craziness. People in America love the President.

12. Michelle's face in this one (with uninsured guy w/cancer)

[rasputin1952]

13. The passion, the concern, the empathy...

This woman is one of the best things that ever happened to this nation.

What a wonderful person, it is impossible not to see the humanity in that face.

[quiet.american]

14. Well said -- agreed. nt

[BeyondGeography]

15. ^^^This^^^

[Skittles]

17. actually it's evident in Obama's face too

but Michelle's expression is truly striking

[rasputin1952]

18. Yeah, I saw that as well, he has the look of a man that truly cares...

but, as you say, Michelle's look is striking. There is a quality there that reaches out, doesn't just touch the soul, but grasps it in an embrace. No one can possibly misinterpret the look on her face, the posture, everything else in that pic...I saved it, it speaks SO much...:hi:

16. Oh noessss! #4...Doesnt that look like the arms are outstretched in a Nazi salute?

:sarcasm:
