I can't even get through it without tearing up.

Enjoyed these photos so much. Eight years of grace, intelligence, compassion,thoughtfulness and caring is ending on Jan, 20. Thank you for posting this.

Thank you for posting these. I thoroughly enjoyed looking through them. I am a big Obama fan, but was disappointed that the current administration starting restricting access to independent photographers about 3 years ago in favor of the 'official' white house ones.

Wow, tearjerker. I savored each and bookmarked them to enjoy many more times. Thank you, mayflowers.

You're welcome. DH is a huge Pete Souza fan and has followed his WH career. DH's been a photographer all his life and his focus is photos of people. He said Pete has a gift for showing Obama's genuine connection with people.

I saw most of these a month or so ago, but none from the past month. It might have been you who shared the first time. Anyway, thanks for posting!

Thank you for posting this.

I have these saved in FB, also all of the recent video from The White House and other sources. Thank you.

Obama will surely be added to that collection of photos of before/after of presidents. It's not just his gray hair, but his facial expressions that have aged. I can't quite put my finger on it.
