Jive 5: My Five Favorite Photographs Of President Barack Obama

To honor President Obama and his selection as TIME’S person of the year 2012, here are some of my favorite photos of the president. One thing that makes these photos different from most of what we normally see, is that they capture a side of the president that we rarely get to see.

1. I mean, how many president’s would play like that with a pint-sized spiderman (above)?

2. This photo of President Obama with a little girl playing with Lego’s is adorable. How many president’s kneel down to be at a toddler’s level? First Ladies might do that, but a president? Never.

3.  The President is the high-fiver-in chief. He goes right to the kid, which is awesome.

4.  Playing a joke on the officious staffer, Marvin Nicholson, who works so hard to please the President -- is hysterical. I wish we could see his reaction when he turned around.

5.  And this photo is for all of us who have an inner “nerd” inside. I think even the President might have an inner nerd, but regardless, his enthusiasm for a marshmallow cannonball is very cool.
