WASHINGTON - OCTOBER 02: US President Barack Obama walks into the Rose Garden before speaking at the White House on October 2, 2009 in Washington, DC.

I was very impressed when I saw this picture. It’s a great shot of the President coming through the columns on the south side of the White House on his way into the Rose Garden. The framing and timing of the shot are incredible.

Coming Through the Columns

Unfortunately, Chicago was not selected to host the 2016 Summer Olympic Games.  However, you may still be interested in some photos of President Obama from the event where he campaigned for the city of big shoulders.
