President Barack Obama accomplished a lot in his two terms in the White House so far. He has dealt with hate, racism, and Republican obstructionism every day since taking office. The president is a smart, compassionate, and funny man, though. He has a beautiful wife and gorgeous children.

With the president’s last term winding down, the official  photographer, Pete Souza, has taken over two million photos of the president during his two terms in the White House.

Souza recently released some of his personal favorites, during his time with the Obama Administration.

Souza worked as the official photojournalist for multiple presidents. He has also contributed to National Geographic and other publications. He went to Kabul, Afghanistan, not long after 9/11.

He carries two Canon 5D Mark III cameras, which he uses on silent mode when he wants to capture candid moments. He carries a minimal amount of gear so he is ready to capture images quickly.

Someone said that Souza and picked the collection of the “best photos,” but Souza said that is not the case.

Many of them show Obama as a man, a father, and as our president. Some are mundane moments, and others emotional, but all are personal favorites.

Even if Souza didn’t pick these photos, they are still some great pictures of of our very cool President Obama:

Of course, we all know President Obama is a superhero who can shoot rainbows out of his hand.

He certainly has a way with kids, and he likes playing with the children who visit him and the family dog, Bo:

Here is another picture of our awesome president playing with a child:

Of course, President Obama knows just how powerful Spiderman is:

I absolutely love this one. It’s great to see that the president has a good marriage with First Lady, Michelle Obama. Plus,

Here’s the president with the late, great Elie Wiesel in 2011, whom recently passed:

The Obamas are just like any other family.

The following is a video of Souza talking about his job – following around President Obama everyday:
