White House's Year in Photos (Slideshow)

buyhercandy:

Just got around to watching this. The White House’s official photographer, Pete Souza, is certainly one talented man.

I posted a lot of these photos in the first six months of the presidency. I love how the overwhelming impression I get is that he’s normal. He’s actually NORMAL. He puts his feet up on his desk. He throws a ball up and down while he’s thinking. He runs with his children and his dog. He offers his jacket to his lady. And most importantly, he clearly loves meeting people.

Regardless of the decisions he has made as president and his popularity in the states (I don’t follow US opinion polls too much!) he is an inspirational person. The dedication to his job, family and ultimately his people is amazing. I could gush out my love for Obama all day, but I think he speaks for himself. Hopefully he comes to Brisbane, and hopefully he speaks. I would love to be at one of his public addresses.
