The Obamas are a quintessential American success story. Barack Hussein Obama and his wife Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Obama defied great odds to become the nation's first African-American president and First Lady. From the moment they settled into the White House on January 20, 2009, with their daughters Malia and Sasha, the first couple has moved the nation and world with their commitment to excellence and to each other. ESSENCE has provided readers with detailed coverage of their first extraordinary year in the White House. The President, the First Lady and members of the Obama administration met our nation's political, economic and social challenges with admirable grace that continues to inspire many Americans. Now, in The Obamas in the White House: Reflections on Family, Faith & Leadership, ESSENCE editors combine rare images with pivotal speeches in a lavish time capsule of a defining moment in the American narrative.

This is an absolutely gorgeous photo album! The pictures and what they capture are outstanding. I gave it as a gift but will have to purchase it for myself. Well worth every penny!Buy it Buy it Buy it!No matter who you voted for!!!!!!
I thouroughly enjoyed this book with beautiful pictures of the First Family in the White House and their personal views on interesting matters, such as Family, Faith, Leadership, etc. It is a treasure to my bookshelf.Especially since I live in the Netherlands (and being an Obama fan!) it is a good way "to keep in touch" as this kind of "inside" information does not appear in the newspapers here. I recommend this book to every American citizen, wanting to know more about the Obama family and the example they give us.
This book is filled with a variety of high-quality photos that cover everything from family life to overseas trips and official business in Washington DC. All the photos are in color. Many of them are candid and feel relaxed or casual even if the event was formal. Significant depictions of tension or conflict are not included in this book. Professional photographers were obviously behind the camera work, and the editors at Essence did a fine job of selection and arrangement. My favorite photos include the president in a tie and wingtips running with a football, Michelle with the president in a tuxedo, and Obama with his daughters, Malia and Sasha. The cover photo is also very endearing. In the midst of our tumultuous political situation and economic malaise, these photos and the accompanying quotations are a good reminder that President Obama is essentially a decent, intelligent, red-blooded American with a wife and kids who has everything to gain from sensible, practical solutions to our problems. Find a place for this book on your coffee table.
This is a beautiful table top accessory! The pictures truly capture the relationship between the members of this remarkable family. You can actually feel the powerful bond radiating from the photos.More importantly, this volumn documents the role that strong individuals, strong parents, and a strong marriage play in the development of decent, moral children like Sasha and Malia. We should ALL strive to emulate them; to make our own family unit(married, single parent, gay parent, whatever)thusly.No matter your politics, respect the Obamas as OUR Royal Family who lead us proudly and morally!
Wonderful book with its beautiful photos of the First Family. Good to have and glimpse our first black president and first lady. Also, a beautiful book to have is Speak Tagalog, A Basic Primer by Juanita de Guzman Gutierrez on sale at . It is good to learn another language beside our own for international foreign relations and diplomacy and friendship. This book does it for you. Four kids books for outstanding literacy, also by Juanita de Guzman Gutierrez are The Blessed One, The Just One, Chosen You Forever, Full of Grace. Check it out at . Enjoy them all!!
I love my Obama book the pictures are beautiful and the quality of the book is nice. I thought the price of the book was reasonable also.
This was a special purchase through my church and I am very pleased with the process.
I will admit that I bought this book just for the photos. I love the notion of "love", period and seeing the most powerful man in the United States so tenderly and lovingly with his family does my heart good! It's positive and inspiring and just makes me feel good!Thank you for the beautiful photos!
