"I’m thinking he probably meant all three of them together. Have you seen any other with his mother, father, and him together?"

If you scan through the earlier part of this thread, you will see a picture of Ann sitting on the ground in a blue/green robe, Obama Jr by the Christmas tree, and Obama Sr in the background sitting on a sofa.

Earlier from Robin R: “That’s interesting. I posted earlier in this thread (#2018) that in his book BO, Jr. said -

“We stand together in front of the Christmas tree and pose for pictures, the only ones I have of us together,”

“The only pics he has of them together are in front of the tree.

It was suggested that maybe the airport pic came from his sister, Maya.

He also might just be inaccurate in his book (again...)”

**That is what I am talking about. The airport picture is not of all three posing together - only the Christmas picture in front of the tree has all three at the same time. So, when he says “The only pics he has of them together are in front of the tree.” It is technically accurate, since the airport picture is taken in pairs instead of all three posing together.

Or, was I misunderstanding the point that RubyR was making?

I am no Obama apologist (I personally think he’s probably the AC), but sometimes it’s easy to read a statement and draw a separate conclusion than what is actually meant (I do it often, myself!)
