I bet they have a lot of fun as a family!
All those qualities can not be faked. You see the love they have for each other, mutual respect as well.
PS~ that has to be the best picture ever. He's just shrugging them off.

(65,616 posts)However, the reason I love that picture so much is because of the slightly out of focus Mrs. Obama and the smile on her face. That is the kind of smile that melts a man's heart and makes his knees weak.
Mr. Obama is one lucky man imo.

(83,927 posts)I know behind closed doors they must feel the need to let it out, yet I doubt that it happens often. Why? Because of the love and mutual respect that they have for one another. That is a family that communicates and they do it well. Yes indeed, they have class. Some people think money can buy you that, they are wrong. It's what is in your heart and mind.
