An unusual and yet strangely familiar image of life intruding into the Oval Office has been captured by a White House photographer. ---
As Barack Obama looks through papers, his eight-year-old daughter, Sasha, spies on him from behind a sofa.
The photograph, released by the White House, was taken by Peter Souza, whose brief is to document the Obama presidency.
Mr Obama has said that one of the greatest benefits of working in the White House is having his family living in the same building.
Despite its spontaneous feel, the image evokes obvious – and possibly intentional - comparisons with famous pictures of a three-year-old John F Kennedy Jr playing under the same desk as his father sat working at it.
The photographs were taken a month before President Kennedy's assassination in November 1963.

Looks staged and not as cute as the original.
Awwww.
How could I have been so wrong????
He’s just a Dad like me.....
[spit].
Jeezzzz is there no end????
Obviously staged since Obama never reads anything that has to do with his job except his teleprompter.
“Okay. O’s ratings are falling...What kind of imagery can we put out there to rally the faithful?”
Oh yeah, that’s real spontaneous. Plus it’s becoming really obvious that poor Sasha is built like MO.
Built like mama, dresses like mama. Classless.
notice the fraud-in-chief has his jacket off. President Reagan ALWAYS kept his suit jacket on in the oval office as a show of respect and insisted that anyone wearing a suit in the oval office do the same.
That’s too weird.
Hiding, eh? Even she is afraid of this leftist.
Suspect that Clinton has similar photos of interns in his private collection.
Sadly.
Reminded me more of Bubba with Monica crawling around on the floor.
That was my immediate reaction as well - I don’t think this guy actually does anything.
Staged without the props.
And repulsive!
Notice that Kennedy had work on his desk, Obama has his coloring book and crayons.
