Thanks for sharing them.

I often turn to President Obama and First Lady Michelle as examples of what we too can be. Patient, kind, loving. Supportive of others.

Hope you enjoy a good weekend ILZ.

but I don't want to sully this thread. There is not in Trump or his minions one millionth of the intelligence, compassion, and class that radiates from these photos of President and Michelle Obama.
