Riding in a freight elevator to get from one inaugural ball to another, President Barack lends Michelle his jacket so she can keep warm.
When President Obama delivered his Inaugural Address, one of the things he called us all to was to show kindness to others. This image of the First Couple on a freight elevator is a refreshing example of his kindness and affection towards Michelle.
"He [Pete Souza] especially likes an inauguration night image of the president nuzzling first lady Michelle Obama in a freight elevator while Secret Service agents awkwardly try to avert their eyes.
Obama has draped his tuxedo jacket over her shoulders, and they are looking deeply into each other's eyes. No other photograph hangs on Souza's office wall -- the image reflects in the old barbershop mirror behind his desk. "It tells a complete story," Souza says of the photograph. "You know exactly what's going on."
