Everyone knows exactly what the current Barrack would be thinking about the prior one, would he still have run for office knowing how much worse the secrets he uncovered were then anything even his worst imaginings could have predicted. What kind of lies he would be forced to protect in order to protect his country. What kind of criminals would have to be allowed to remain free lest their imprisonment cause more harm to his country then the criminals have already caused. Would he have ever considered how much time he would have to waste in coming up with solutions to those problems so that he could turn it all around and expose the lies and convict those criminals, regardless of their position in the previous administration. Now if that were not enough, add in a corrupt time bomb economy, a political opposition of hate willing to destroy the country to win the next election and, where even the most obvious and vital reforms would be obstructed by blue dog democrats, to cowardly to admit they are republicans.

How nice. Obama leaves our troops dangling and insecure due to inadequate back up while he fiddles with his family. He is going to need a lot more midnight visits (with press) to Dover to atone for his lack of action.

[Dupree]

What you defines as "lack of action" is known to most of us that actually respects the art of critical thinking is that he is PLANNING a strategy that goes beyond the cowboy mentality that in facts respects and acknowledges the gravity of the situation and the utmost necessity to weigh the cost in the balance of reality which takes more than a knee jerk tough stand. WE been there and done that ....we watched our country marched into war in Iraq two days earlier than scheduled for the need to look tough...meanwhile thousands of death later...after the fact scrutiny...there never was any weapons of mass destruction....if only the previous administra­tion...too­k some time to weigh his decision.

And as far as spending time with his family which is a great example for all of us as Americans to embrace...and not just give lip service to...so called "family values." I for one applaud the time he makes for his family and I am sure as you watch the news and see the war on two fronts...find time to spend with your own. And if you feel as if this is not enough...why don't you volunteer in the service and give of yourself to your country...or do you just sit and judge others as you play with your keyboard?

So Obama want to show to the public that they care with environment and I think planting a garden is a positive activity.

[KIVPossum]

We get it. Obama's handsome, Michelle's beautiful and the kids are cute as can be. They're a tight, loving family. Obama's a great dad and husband.

We know all this. So why's HP going for the tabloid format to post pix of everything they do? It's a bit overdone.

[Gretel1or2]

To invite ridicule from people like RoadSkollar & Ifticar2 of course...what else?

[Michele Himmel]

Obama`s are over done now. We have photos of them doing practically everything other than going potty and clipping their toenails. Overkill. Overkill.

[jbrantow]

Now Michele Himmel realizes how the intelligent readers of this website feel reading over and over again her inane spews. We get it, your a misinformed zealot.

[jbrantow]

oops...."you're"

IIRC, Old Faithful is NOT the largest geyser in the Park, there are several larger; it just used to be the one you could set your watch by. It DOES have the largest buildings in the Park, but that's somehow not the same.

Thanks again, HuffPo.

I never get over how different a carrot right-out-­of-the-gro­und (first picture) looks from the grocery store offerings!!

Y'all who scream, "not a time for positive pictures", go to another thread. The job comes with the dreaded photo-ops stuff.

Love slideshows­!!!!!!!!!!
