I have a dream that my four little children will one
day live in a nation where they will not be judged
by the color of their skin, but by the content of their
character.

thx 4 sharing this gorgeous beautiful portrait of a loving family such as the Obamas! So glad they make time for each other to be together as a family and a plain old husband and wife. Very important. It's obvious Barack and Michelle work hard to keep those home fires burning hot cause it comes thru in photos like this. A very intimate and loving moment.

cyclotourist says:

The happy family part is nice, but I really like seeing the "moving in" portion of the photo. Seeing their personal items stacked against the wall makes the Obamas that much more real.

Thanks for the excellent stream. I hope the first family does not tire too much of this level of exposure. I like seeing them but not so much that they feel put upon.

Any possibility of finding out who painted the landscape in the backround of this photo?

this is a nice peephole view of the First family!
I wish them all loads of luck and fortitude, as they are going to be
in the public eye, probably forever, and their girls are very young
I also like the framed photos arranged behind them

chrisbwah says:

I think this is a really nice photo, the kind of thing you used to see in Life Magazine. However call me a cynic but isn't this just Flickr being used as a PR tool for the White House? The well placed flag and picture of Martin Luther King Jr in the background suggests that this was a bit more than a 'lucky shot'. The Obama family represent hope for the whole world, I really hope they're not drawn into the whole media manipulation cycle of the previous presidencies.
