2. Thanks for the chuckle

And fond memory. I needed something to lighten my mood.

[MyOwnPeace]

3. Now we got 'em!

Bengazi - Chipotle!!!!

[lapucelle]

4. They warned us that Obama thought he was a king.

The second picture proves it.

44. LOL............. good one

[xxqqqzme]

55. It is worse than that

He's a princess!!!!

[madokie]

5. What an awesome man

and a great President

[Blue_Tires]

Meanwhile assclown trump eats his steak with goddamn ketchup and nary a peep

[brush]

26. Well done, too.

[tavernier]

7. Great post.

Thanks for the memories.

[csziggy]

8. But what about the tan suit?!!!

[MontanaMama]

18. You beat me to it!

Tan-suit-gate...how awful for America.

[NCjack]

20. Tan suit is OK -- I once had one. But that gray tie -- that's impeachment worthy. nt

[MontanaMama]

32. Oh the humanity!

We need a special prosecutor for this.

[Marcuse]

42. The undisputed Best President of the 21st Century.

[murielm99]

50. Didn't they have a cow when he took off his jacket

and worked in his shirt sleeves in the Oval Office?

I know they were critical of Michelle for showing off her toned arms, but I think they criticized the President for short-sleeved shirts, too.

[irisblue]

53. Yeah, tie & suit weren't a good match. nt

[Achilleaze]

9. But, but, but republican repeal of safety regs

liberated the restaurant to lower the height of the sneeze guard by 8 inches, according to what some say. So this SCALDING OBAMA SCANDAL, could actually have been a nefarious republican set up.

How much simpler the world is now that we have only to deal with the russian ACTS OF WAR on America aided and abetted by the republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief and his republican Cabal of Colluding Cronies.

[jaxind]

10. Can't forget...

Can't forget the mom jeans! Now, that was a real scandal!

[onethatcares]

12. and the time he didn't have

his wedding ring on.

Jeez, no one would ever recognize him while he was hitting on some hottie at the bar.

[tanyev]

13. Don't forget the bike helmet!

[Soxfan58]

14. Trey Goudy

Needs to hold hearings on tiaragate. Lock him up!!!!

[3catwoman3]

15. That tiara picture...

...is one of my all-time favorites of the many heartwarming pictures over the 8 years. The little girl to his left with one hand on his arm, and her other arm around his back, and her head tilted toward him, is especially sweet.

[sarge43]

17. That one and the one where he's hugging the little girl with Lincoln's

portrait behind them.

[3catwoman3]

35. I don't remember that one.

Do you have a link?

[sarge43]

46. I'll see if I can find it. n/t

[sarge43]

47. This one. Dr King's arc of history

[3catwoman3]

48. Thank you.

Of course, I have seen that one. I must have been so attuned to her cute little face that I never noticed the portrait in the background.

[NewJeffCT]

22. all genuine smiles, too

not the forced shit smile that Trump does sometimes for photo ops.

[gratuitous]

16. Has everyone forgotten that time . . . ?

During the 2008 campaign, when candidate Obama had (hide the kids) orange juice with his breakfast? The monster! Fortunately, Tweety was all over it, but the fix was already in, and the nation's nightmare was on like Donkey Kong:

[IronLionZion]

19. Haha, that could help the GOP lose Florida voters

by insulting their state's oranges. Unless the coffee is from Hawaii, it was imported.

[3catwoman3]

37. I totally missed that one.

I am not a coffee drinker, so I always decline the coffee offer. And, I always have orange juice with breakfast when eating out. What the hell is weird about that?

NOTHING!

[SpankMe]

21. I just get sick when I see pictures like this.

I really do. It's an in-my-face reminder of how we went from the most human, decent and cool president ever to an ignorant, fat, hyper-white bigot. How dafuq did we whipsaw so far in the opposite direction from one presidency to the other?

[smirkymonkey]

30. This exactly!

I have the same feeling. First nostalgia for what we had and then suddenly I remember where we are now and a wave of nausea overcomes me. I can barely wrap my mind around it. It's heartbreaking!

[flibbitygiblets]

23. I think we're all forgetting "flagpin-gate"?

That horrible time in our nation's history when the president forgot to signal his patriotism by wearing a flagpin on his lapel? Oh, God, the flashbacks I'm having just thinking about it. Because as we all know, being all flagged up is the one and only thing that distinguishes the patriots from the terrorists.

OMG, and remember the "terrorist fist-bump" with Michelle?

How did we ever survive?

[sheshe2]

24. Don't forget Umbrella-Gate!

[nolabear]

25. A good man. Even if he wasn't president. A very good man.

Orange Menace, not so much.

[Thomas Hurt]

27. egregious! cross dressing and reaching over the sneeze guard.....heinous

Its a wonder the country survived.

(snark)

[Doreen]

34. Gross, that should have been and immediate

impeachable offense right there.

[onecaliberal]

28. This just makes me weep for what we had. Such an amazing man.

[octoberlib]

29. Best smile in the world! But this was NOTHING compared to the Grey Poupon Scandal of 2009, lol.

[Turbineguy]

31. Cookiegate!

Never has there been a more profoundly dastardly conspiracy than Cookiegate.

[3catwoman3]

40. Another one I missed.

Or forgot about.

What was Cookiegate?

[CrispyQ]

33. I've never seen the tiara photo.

Thanks for posting!

[3catwoman3]

36. It is totally...

...charming, isn't it? It puts a big smile on my face, too.

[Yavin4]

38. Wow. It seems like it was another lifetime ago.

It's like we went through some sort of dark portal and into this alternate dimension of complete bullshit.

[3catwoman3]

39. It surely does.

Some sort of alternate universe where everything is backwards and makes no sense.

[pandr32]

41. There was also feet-on-the-desk-gate

Don't forget the outrage about him relaxing in contemplation with his feet elevated on the desk and his chair leaning back with his arms folded behind his head!

And then there was his golfing, and beergate, and don't forget the executive orders, and the Obama holidays! The real howling I remember, though, was the staff he took with him overseas at taxpayer expense!

[rogue emissary]

49. Like almost all of these made up scandals.

We had tons of pictures that showed past president with their feet up on the desk. Still didn't stop the Republicans from losing their minds.

[louis-t]

43. Haaaa!!!

[sprinkleeninow]

45. 😍 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓

[StepnKretchit]

51. President Obama is FINE.

He exudes FINESSE. Without even trying.

That is why the little men look at President Obama with detest.

[spooky3]

52. Are those blood diamonds in the tiaras? Tsk, tsk!

[jmowreader]

54. Blood plastic crystals, I think

[calimary]

56. I remember one scandal alright! Geoffrey Zakarian

was totally outraged!!!

The pompous Food Network dickhead tweeted about what a disgrace it was that President Obama was in the Oval Office wearing a casual shirt and jeans. For Shame!

Reality Check: it was a photo of the President at his desk, working the phones, ON A SATURDAY!!!

And it was because there'd been some breaking news that had just happened, that needed the Commander-in-Chief's immediate attention, interrupting an otherwise quiet uneventful Saturday afternoon with the family in the Residence. Guess the ultra fastidious GZ, who must wear suit and tie to take a shower, is a major league pissant.

[Fritz Walter]

57. Muslim Prayer Curtain!!!!!
