Reblogging this again because I’ve been looking at it all day, and here’s what makes the picture: It’s not the fistbump at all. It’s Michelle Obama’s eyes and what is just about to turn into a smile on Barack Obama’s face. It says almost everything about them at this point. I don’t give a shit if the president and his wife love each other, and I certainly don’t think a candidate’s family life is in any way indicative of how he’ll be as an officeholder, but strictly from the point of a photograph capturing a moment, this is one of those rare images that gives such an incredible picture of its subjects
Also, immediately after the fists broke apart, Michelle sauntered past Barack and, briefly watching her walk past, Barack patted her upper ass.
