So we went to find Robert Gibbs. “We’re looking for some reporters,” the President said, when we found Robert Gibbs in his office.

Great pictures…………me likey
These are real beauties. Every one.
Been waiting for this. Love the pics with Obama and the girls and the Pres holding the little girl’s hand on 9/11. Beautiful!
Although they all are stunning, the picture of him holding the child’s hand is profoundly beautiful. We are so fortunate for the leadership and grace of our President.
That one got me too, Sue - utterly lovely. The lightness of the grip, so gentle but so reassuring - just perfect.
Thanks,these
are new!
Very nice pics.
I must say, that picture of Prez Obama, with Clinton, looks “mahvelous”. Initially I thought, he looks delicious, but I was bad enough hanging out with all the other hot-blooded ladies here a few nights ago, checking out his rump. He simply is “the man”
