Official White House photographer Pete Souza has had near unlimited access to President Obama and his family throughout his run for the presidency and his first 100 days in the White House. And his photos are stunning.
`
Souza has captured some deeply private moments of the president, photos of President and Mrs. Obama, and even a photo of the first daughters sledding on the South Lawn this past winter. The White House has released the photos to the public, and they can be seen on the official White House website by clicking HERE.

I heard about those photos on CNN yesterday and took a look last night. What a beautiful family they are. The photographer caught some real nice moments!
The photos are great! And I have to say that, for a man having to deal with numerous CRITICAL issues, facing this nation, all at once…the "Prez" looks like he's taking it all in stride_IOW_he's as "Cool" as ever_lol.
Meanwhile_on a somewhat unrelated note….It_um_looks like those good ole “NOT too bright” boyz” of the GOP are at it again__smh:“RNC Pulled Video of Mock-Obama Criticizing Troops, Thanking Ayers”[ Marking Barack Obama's 100th day in office, the RNC published a video that uses an Obama impersonator to mock the president as beholden to a teleprompter and a hypocrite on a range of policy issues.The web ad, which has an off-sounding Obama voice commenting over footage of the inaugural address, was briefly posted on the RNC's YouTube page on Wednesday. But shortly after its release, the spot was unceremoniously removed from the site. The video shows the faux-president pledging to increase spending and hand the census over to ACORN, as well as celebrating a Treasury Secretary who failed to pay his taxes. There is even a shot at Obama for his association with former Weather Underground member Bill Ayers, with the president thanking "Professor Ayers" for clapping after he pledged to put together "a report that characterizes our returning service members… as people who may become terrorists." UPDATE: The House Repubs, meanwhile, released their own incendiary ad attacking the president. The spot, titled "Day 101," includes footage of the Pentagon burning on September 11th alongside clips of terrorist training videos and violent protests in the Middle East. Complete with dreary background music, the video challenges Obama on his decision to close Guantanamo Bay and release memos detailing the Bush administration's policies on torture. The video also shows Obama's handshake with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, airs a bunch of headlines and news clips about CIA interrogations and flashes of terrorist training videos. ]Source: HuffPost via Andrew Sullivanhttp://www.huffingtonpost.com/politics/Of course THIS is just the kind of juvenile crap that turns intelligent people OFF and sends moderate Repubs running for the nearest exit IN DROVES.But hey_Faux news viewers really like it (all 21% of the electorate)_so it achieves its goal right? Riiiight.
