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.

Earlier today President Obama departed for Copenhagen, Denmark where he will assist First Lady Michelle Obama in making a final presentation to the International Olympic Committee in hopes of bringing the 2016 Summer Games to Chicago.
