I know most (read as: all) of you don't care, but I was elated to learn and see the context of this photo, after being left in the dark about it:

Forget formalities. President Obama & Russian President Dmitry Medvedev

author's comments: (Pete Souza)
A year ago, my photo editors suggested we start posting a "Photo of the Day" (POD) on the White House website.
The idea was to show pictures that viewers do not see anywhere else: behind-the-scenes images of the President
and other aspects of life at the White House.

President Barack Obama meets with members of his Cabinet in the Cabinet Room of
the White House, January 29, 2010. The President’s chair is marked with a plaque
engraved with the date of his inauguration. --(Official White House Photo by Pete Souza)

President Barack Obama greets a young visitor in the Oval Office, February 5, 2010.
In the past year, we have selected a new POD at least five days a week
(weekend postings depend on the President’s activities). The most popular
pictures are ones involving fun moments with the President, or pictures of
the family dog, Bo. But, given my extraordinary access, we also try to show
the President doing what he spends most of his time doing: running the country.

President Barack Obama boards Air Force One at Miami International Airport, October 11, 2010.

I chose the following ten pictures to represent the past year of POD’s. They are not necessarily
the “best” ten, but are ones that show the variety of situations we have to choose from.

Wow. Every one of these photographs is simply amazing.

I am not a fan of President Obama, but these are some interesting photos. They definitely make him seem more likable as a person.
