6. OMGAWD........I'm bawling and smiling at the same time.......these are beautiful photos and

Barack is such a human being......

and compared to the orange piece of garbage, that, wait, what did Al Franken say.....tRump never smiles or laughs....can you, and I never will, see tRump in ANY White House photos.

Gonna miss Barack, and his family, and Joe and the Biden family so much, that I swear I don't give a crap about ANYTHING that happens now with "them".

8. The 2nd pic highlights an example of fake news

When Trump met with Obama as part of the transition process, there was much speculation by the press that the picture behind Trumps head --of the Statue of Liberty-was put there for the meeting,and had some blah blah significance.
but, in pic 2, dated Jan. 2016, the pic is in the same place, as are the chairs.

10. Damn, most of those are tear jerkers. First for the pictures of what they are, and second....

....for the concern about how long it will be before we see anything like that out of the White House, if ever.
