Here are my favourite images of President Obama's 100 Days. They catch him in a range of situations from very formal to very intimate. And I haven't necessarily put them in chronological order.
Once more I have to thank my source, The Guardian website.

I love the one of him and Michelle in the freight lift - it's so romantic and sweet - I love how he actually show's a lot of emotion without looking too considered - if it is all considered then he is a master who makes Tony Blair and his very fake natural acting look like a third rate soap opera actor.
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better. Can't wait to see you x
i agree about the natural charm of them both. The freight lift image is
ReplyDeletegorgeous because he's taken off his jacket for her and they look like people on their first date.
I adore the Guardian's photo section! I have even made a label for posts called Goodness from the Guardian.
ReplyDeleteI especially like the image outside of Downing Street. It's a quiet pride.
we did "good" this time. G
ReplyDeleteyou absolutely did. As a Brit, I'm envious.
