      Even if you don’t agree with his politics, the Obamas was quite the family. Miss them to this day. ❤

      QUARTERMASTEREMI6 I agree. His composure and grace (and his family’s) is such an inspiration to me until this day ❤️ Politics is so overwhelmingly combative nowadays and I like that Vanity Fair is highlighting the human aspects of this world by featuring the photographer and Obama as his natural self. Thank you for your response! ☺️🙏🏻

    I saw Pete speak at K-State twice while I was in school there, once before Trump was elected, and again during Trump’s presidency. His candor and resolve while speaking about his professional career was admirable. His tone and message changed immensely between the two speaking engagements, and while Pete didn’t dive into the political mess too much, he made it clear how much respect he had for the Obama family, and how he felt about the current First family.

    I stopped watching the 2020 debate today because it was so frustrating. This is exactly what I needed. If only he was still president…

      Peach Me too :,( I couldn’t stand listening to it. I wish our leaders had just an ounce of the grace and composure that the Obama administration emanated.
