Obama Official Portrait

Barack Obama Official Portrait

Barack Obama is not one to shy away from attention and acting like he’s the President long before he’s actually the President. That is, unless its a controversial issue that needs a President to provide leadership and a statement. When that happens then its ‘just one President at a time.’ He won’t be able to hide behind that statement in another week.

Here is the Barack Obama Official Portrait. Its the first Presidential portrait taken with a digital camera. It was taken by the new official White House photographer Pete Souza. Officially.

One good thing that will come of all this is that we won’t have to listen to Obama give his long winded speeches from behind a sign declaring he’s from the ‘Office of the President Elect’. Sigh. Or is that a bad thing? That also means that he’ll be at the helm and we’ll no longer have President George W. Bush at the helm keeping our heads above water while Obama just talks endlessly.

Pete Souza’s Office Portrait of Obama will be displayed in all government buildings and embassies around the world.
