The website called this one ''mmmm, baby smell.'' Isn''t that the truth? I love the way babies (in clean diapers) smell.

Yep. That''s one of THE best smells in life. Gosh I miss babies....and kissing their clean wittle heads.

So true. Is there any greater smell than baby head? My best friend would argue puppy breath

My goodness, Barack Obama certainly appears to have a gift with the wee little ones! His joy-filled facial expressions as he and those babies gaze adoringly at each other just slay me....

f-d-l

I don''t think it''s been posted yet, but this photo brought such a broad smile on my face when I saw it in Newsweek a few weeks ago. If you had a close relationship with your grandfather (like I was blessed to have as well), you recognize the looks in *each* of their eyes very well.... it''s a combination of tenderness, trust, and unadulterated joy in being with each other, isn''t it?

f-d-l

Sarah Palin, Miss Wasilla:

I don''t know if it''s just me, but doesn''t that photo of Sarah Palin in her beauty queen days remind you of the actress who played the neighbor Marcy D''Arcy on "Married With Children"??

Good god, Ebree, these photos you''re posting could make Milton Fricken Friedman renounce the conservative movement and vote Obama!!

(P.S. Could either you or Irishgrrl post a link to the source of these photos?)

What wonderful (and powerful!) photos. Thank you for sharing, ladypirate.

K, I just looked at LP''s link, and I have to post some of my favorites...

(And as I kept catching glimpses of Barack''s wedding bling, and I think we need to hunt down some bling shots...)

Obama in a stairwell, perhaps a moment of peace:

 

[FrekeChild]

Obama grabbing some ice cream, and cleaning the counter after an event:

 

[FrekeChild]

Michelle and the girls making sure Obama looks good, right before he goes to announce he''s running for President:

 

[FrekeChild]

I love this one--look at that smile!:

 

[FrekeChild]

Obama...takin'' a nap:

 

[FrekeChild]

OMG! This one is great too--Obama doing a few pull ups:

 

[FrekeChild]

Can anyone find any other sites that have pics like these for any of the other three? I love these pictures.

Obama and Michelle:

Obama''s shoes:

 

[FrekeChild]

Me too EBree...I love so many of these! I hope that some other photojournalist is following around Biden, McCain or Palin. These are just wonderful!

Barack, Michelle, and the girls on the 4th of July-I love that they''re just chillin'' and Michelle has her shoes off:

 

[FrekeChild]

Obama just after finding out he''s won the primary, in a freight elevator:

 

[FrekeChild]

I like to stick with family/old/casual photos, and stay away from the political arenas, but I love this photo because they are with their wives and going towards their families:

 

[Ellen]

After winning the senate race. (forgot it was just 2008, but I loved this pic)

 

[MoonWater]

Those pictures are great Freke! Thanks for posting.

And Obama needs some new shoes!!!

 

[FrekeChild]

That''s what I think too Moon--apparently he''s already had them re-soled 2 times!

McCain on a plane, with everyone else snoozing:

 

[FrekeChild]

McCain and Palin photoshoot after announcing Palin as VP running mate:

 

[FrekeChild]

Sorry the quality isn''t great on these.

For the Piper lovers:
