The Whitehouse on Flickr

Not something I thought I would ever see, much less see updated so consistently.

The Whitehouse has a flickr page.

Though sometimes the pictures seem a little mundane and boring, you can catch a glimpse of the day to day life of the Obamas through the lens of a camera that is just as normal as our cameras.

The pictures themselves are mostly amateur and rough but occasionally you can find a gorgeous shot in amongst all the clutter.

I think it's pretty cool that the whitehouse has done this, trying to stay up to date on the goings on in the world, but also, it keeps them connected to a demographic that is otherwise (statistically speaking) uncaring and anti-politics.

Thanks Obama!
