Election Night With The Obamas
Whew … what a week it’s been. Barack Obama was elected as the 44th President of the United States of America just 5 days ago and I know that so many people are still rejoicing at the news. I happily posted the pics sent in by Pink readers of their celebrations around Election Day and today we get to check out a few intimate, behind-the-scenes photos of the Obama family waiting for the election results on Election Night. President-elect Obama had a bunch of private photos posted to his official Flickr photo album to share his family’s Election Night activities with the world. Here are a few of my faves:
Click HERE to see a whole slew of Election Night photos of the Obama family. I’m pretty sure that Tuesday November 4, 2008 is a day that millions of people will remember for the rest of their lives. Obvs it was a big night for the Obamas and I think it’s very cool that they are sharing their intimate (and prolly jittery) moments with the world. I suspect that the new First Family is going to be very open about their lives and will do everything they can to share their experiences with all of us. The site Change.gov has already launched and I understand there will be an official blog of the new President when he takes office. Leadership in this country looks like it’s about to take a giant leap forward of inclusion with the people. I can’t wait to see what’s in store in the coming months and years.

I would honestly love to have seen a photo of when he actually found out he’d be the next President. That’d be a timeless photograph.

haha on the site there is a picture of the kids playing patty cake with Biden and Obama discussing world matters in the back. Love it!

wow, he looks so much LESS excited than my friends and me were! Probably a little bit of an “oh sh*t, it’s real!” moment there? Plus I guess he’s totally exhausted and sad about his grandmother. Well anyway, WHAT A NIGHT!!! : D

I saw these a couple days ago, and they still give me little chills. Sooooooo glad we Democrats are back in office!!!
Totally non-related: I still don’t like Mrs. Obama’s dress…

He looks SO nervous xD
Like waiting to see if your names called as winner, except on the ultimate level.

I think photos like these tell so much more than any interview could. How cute are his kids? How cute is the family? I am so happy for them and the Bidens.

This just goes to prove that he is real, and he is one of us. What other higher up would do this??
November 10th, 2008 at 8:34 am
Thank you for sharing that with us. I am so proud to be an American. Those pictures being posted just shows that he and his family are real, down to earth people and want to share their lives with the country they love.

I am not digging Michelle’s dress. It makes here look like a black widow spider.

I love the dress – like nothing a President’s wife would wear on election night and that was the point. Obama looks so calm … considering he was about to make a speech that will be replayed FOREVER!!
