Obamas Photographer Posted Photo Of Top Advisors To Make A Point About Equality

By Alanna Vagianos



Pete Souza, the chief White House photographer for Barack Obama, posted a powerful photo on his Instagram page on Monday.


The image shows the bottom half of four people: one pair of feet (Obama’s) has on men’s shoes and a suit, and the other three pairs have on skirts and heels.


“Meeting with top advisors. This is a full-frame picture. I guess you’d say I was trying to make a point,” Souza wrote in the caption of the photo.

Anonymous, but it says so much!!!!

And look how relaxed the person with the guy shoes on is. What was his name again?

Just compare Dump with Angela Merkel.

I saw that he has a book on the Obama years coming out in the Fall of this year. Think you can preorder it.

He has done amazing work, and I love the Obamas so that would be a book I would treasure.

Reagan, famously, liked to refer to Nancy as "mommy." Pence knows this, and must be trying to create the association in right-wing voters' minds.

It is sick to call your wife 'mother' or 'mommy'...wonder what Freud would have to say about that. Yikes!

Who wants to be with a significant other that can't be trusted, or doesn't trust you?

some of the words that come to mind are accepting, comfortable, and confident.

Obama sitting on his desk shooting the breeze with women and actually listening to what they have to say. They were some of his closest advisors. He respected them and felt at ease with them. He was advised by them. He listened.

I want my President back.
