A nice photogallery. Omissions I noticed would be something about saving the auto industry, or playing basketball, or being on Air Force One: [http://www.cnn.com/2015/02/13/politics/gallery/barack-obama/index.html](http://www.cnn.com/2015/02/13/politics/gallery/barack-obama/index.html)

Eh, it’s rather heavy on the feel-good moments and light on substance for my taste.

LOL. Beer summit. That was a good one, President Momjeans. I’d almost forgotten about that. Seems like it was a different era in politics at this point.

Speaking of idiots why is there a photo of WH spokesidiot Jay Carney stuck in at random? Why not instead include a photo of his “murdered” “son” Travon? There are photos of other members of the holy family why dis-include his “son” especially at the inclusion of a moron like Carney. If Obama had an uncle, or perhaps cousins, on his mom’s side he would look like Jay Carney. I guess that’s the angle they’re going for.

Sometimes I think about how much better off we would be as a country if Obama detractors cared about the actual controversial things this administration has done (and continues to do) instead of focusing on this kind of stupid shit. Butwhatareyagonnado.
