• There is something so exquisite about the White House. It isn't the largest or grandest home for a Head of State, but it really is so beautiful.

• Some great photos. Thanks OP. One the the most poignant is the make-a-wish girl and her family with the president all under the gaze of Lincoln's portrait. I also liked Obama and Biden Laughing together. I think Joe has been of of the great VPs. The two compliment each other well.

• I can't believe the nerve of rightwing trash who look at these two people and speak of how they've 'tainted' the WH. Or some of the DL assholes who come along and call them 'ghetto' based on nothing except their skin color. What other reason would there be to refer to them as ghetto?

• This kid is a riot! The other kids are looking at him like, "what the hell?" and "he didn't just do that!"

• Boehner looks like such a cunt even in still-form.

• The little Spidey-Boy in the Halloween costume with Obama has a VERY hot daddy. He's Obama staffer Nate Tamarin, and he's smokin'.
