Barack and Michelle


A new article is on the way, but meanwhile I was struck by this photo of President Obama and Michelle for obvious reasons. (you can view the original on the White House site at http://www.whitehouse.gov/photogallery/In-Europe/)

A political colleague of mine and I recently had a discussion as to whether or not President Obama is vulnerable to the temptations of the many women available to him. My (male) colleague pointed out to me that our president has the look of a man who is getting everything he needs at home. This photo suggests interesting possibilities in that area.

Of course, the specific framing of the photograph probably says more about the photographer's leanings than it does about the Obamas.

(And by the way, this speculation is purely in respectful and good fun and in no way implies any insider information on the relationship of the First Couple!)

    Vivian...this is a great photo and I think that it probably does say more about the photographer than the couple. Nevertheless, it made me smile because I was also struck with it and for those 'obvious' reasons. ;)

    I stumbled across your blog this morning and I must tell you I am in awe of your talent for smart, and what seems to me to be, flawless writing. I was tickled pink to add it to 'My Favorites' list.

    DD is something I want but don't 'quite' have with my partner and I'm constantly searching for sensible, rational information about DD. You have hooked me...and I plan to read every word. Thank you. :-)

    I too had the same reaction to the photo and it made me smile for those 'obvious' reasons. ;)

    I just found your blog this morning and I have to tell you how happy I am to have added it to my 'Favorites' list. I was elated to find such a smart, logical, well written blog to learn more about DD.

    I want a DD relationship very much and my partner are not quite there yet. I dont know if we ever will be, but the desire for discipline is deep in my heart. I think it always has been and I could never put a name to it, until I discovered 'Domestic Discipline' that is.

    I plan on reading every word here. Thank you Vivian. :)

  5. Yes, that is indeed an interesting photo, but I agree that it probably has more to do with the photographer's ideas than the subject's

  6. Ah, whether it's the photographer or the Obamas, doesn't it feel damn good to have a couple in the Whitehouse that might actually still be doing the deed?? :-)

    I could never imagine any of the presidents that have been in my own lifetime still 'at it'.

  7. Hi Shaktiforce,

    Thanks for commenting!

    Speaking for myself and I suspect many other women, however, I must give a nod to Bill. I for one had absolutely no trouble imagining Bill doing the deed.... and doing it well... ;-)

    Warmest,
    Viv

  8. My mind contemplating this photo of President Barack Obama, saying to his wife, "Michele my dear, the nicest present I can you this year, is a good bare bottom spanking. For I sure love that erotic voluptous derriere of yours.

  9. Well spotted. Showed this to my Bandree and she got the mood instantly. I must say, his choice of photographers is another resason I would approve the Obama victory.

  10. Dear Vivienne, that is a truly edgy photograph. Brrr, delicious!
    I wouldn't wish a word of disrespect to the Obamas, but I do agree with you about Bill!
    And even the First Couple may have their own private fantasy, and why not?
    Good luck to them, say I, and to you too!
