First Daddy Lift-Offs: Obama's Olympic, Acrobatic Greetings (PHOTOS, POLL)

If picking up Sasha were an Olympic sport, then President Obama would be a gold medalist: his 8-year-old daughter has perfected the acrobatic 'run and leap' greet.

Rate the the lifts on a scale of 1 to 10 (being a perfect score), as though you were an Olympic judge. Maybe the sport should be considered for the Sao Palo 2016 Olympics.

November 4, 2008

Barack Obama boosts Sasha during his election night victory rally at Grant Park on November 4, 2008 in Chicago, Illinois.

Sasha clearly adores her daddy! You can't fake those emotions.

[MrOlympia]

Great pics!

[Pupadup4oBama]

Awesome!

[Muzikal203]

Sasha is getting big, I think he likes picking her up while he can. Soon he's gonna be stuck with Bo. LOL

[Conk]

"Daddy, why do all the kids in class say you're a communist"? "I thought we fought communism in the 50s and 60s"? "It's ok now"?

[Pupadup4oBama]

that was just plain st00pid

You know, that black Alice Siddell dress with what looks like a mesh crinoline peeking should have been enough to have had a generation of Japanese hipsters hyperventilating.

(Sasha's election night )

[devadasi]

That black dress was gorgeous.....absolutely stunning.

[mphalen]

Can you imagine if it was John McCain and Meghan?

[BetterDays]

That's just wrong but I can't stop laughing thinking of McCain picking up Meghan!!

[Progressiveama]

Whew, this family is designed to be adored, they are all precious.

[Whycee54]

Beautiful. IT makes me miss my father even more!

[escribacat]

Maybe I'm just prejudiced because I like the Obamas so much, but those kids seem particularly adorable and well-adjusted.

[myownvoice]

Really cool pics... Sasha's getting big , but she's still 'the baby' so enjoy while you can Mr. President.

[yvonne61]

Those are his baby let him enjoy them why they young

[Paula Ann]

bless our first family.

I am a 56 year old white woman from Texas. That should inform my background. Many of my relatives still use the "n" word.

In all of my life, I have never been prouder of our country than I was on 11/4/2008. I cannot get enough of our First Family and how they represent America to the world. We are blessed.

[utahterry]

Much appreciation for your comment and cheers to you!

[PhDiva]

Thank you for this lovely comment. I am an African American woman, and your words give me so much hope. Blessings to you.

Thumbs Up!

He seems to leave Malia out... Though the pics are great of the President and Sasha, I feel sorry for the older child. She doesn't seem to get the same attention the younger one does. I don't know, maybe I haven't seen the pictures. Keep up the good fight Mr.Obama!!!

[Skiwee]

You know, it's funny, before seeing these photos I thought Malia, the elder, was more favoured. I've see many a photo or clip where Malia, was always being hugged, patted/petted, spoken to, adoringly smiled at by her dad.

Guess we were both fooled MKeena, the POTUS loves and adores both his children...and isn't that the way it's supposed to be? God bless him and his family.

[kobio]

When you have two kids and can still only pick up one...you really cherish it, because you know how fast time flies and you won't be able to pick her up anymore.

[Weirdwriter]

The older girl is probably starting to feel more self-conscious in public than her little sister. Both seem to be comfortable around their folks, though.

[Muzikal203]

The Huff post had a slideshow a while ago with nothing but pics of him laughing with Malia. Let's not make up non-troversies :o)
