Photo Phinish: He Got Game
This photo is from the Official White House Flickr stream. It’s a picture of President Barack Obama playing basketball with White House staffers while on vacation on Martha’s Vineyard, Aug. 26, 2009.
I thought this one would be a cool one to showcase because I like the focused look on Obama’s face as he schools some of his people. When he was running for office, I wondered why anyone would want to take on the challenge in getting America back on track. We were in the middle of a never-ending war and on the cusp of an economic breakdown. The auto industry was falling apart and the financial sector was taking more government bailouts than we could afford to give out. But he took the job anyway.
Whether you agree with Obama’s politics or not, you have to admire the concentrated effort he’s putting into moving this country forward. I like how he’s not afraid to take on the big issues and pray that things will turn out okay after the dust has settled.
