For an image subreddit with fewer restrictions, check out /r/misc!

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  6. No animated images. Please submit them to /r/gif, /r/gifs, or /r/reactiongifs instead.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

I was golfing at Congressional once and secret service agents came up to my group and asked if the President could play through. We of course said yes and they get up to the tees while we wait. Barack hits a pretty decent drive and the other two guys in his group totally shank theirs. The President looks over to us and says, "That's why I bring them." They laugh and walk away. Pretty cool moment.

[–]cant_read_adamnthing 157 points158 points ago

Hehe, I chuckle at the thought of you guys saying no to the secret service guys.

              The kid touching Obama's hair is the son of a White House staffer who was leaving his job.

                  Is he left handed? Also, if he keeps holding babies above his face like that, he's gonna end up swallowing some puke at some point...

                  [–]Zaev 160 points161 points ago

                  Yep. A disproportionately large number of US Presidents have been left-handed, actually.

                      I thought:

                      1)He did eventually end up showing his birth certificate

                      and that

                      2) Trump is now on about Obama's high school grades, something about hurricane Superstorm Sandy and giving the President extra time or something?

                      [–]athulajp 57 points58 points ago

                      1) Trump is a retard

                      2) Trump is still a retard

                      That's all we need

                      Trump has continually denied my demands that he let me put my balls on his forehead.

                      WHAT DOES HE HAVE TO HIDE?

                              Yeah. Being president ages you pretty quickly. He was only 36 when he took office.

                                            As I was looking at this album, I was thinking how great it is that we have a president who is this affectionate with his wife. It really makes him seem like a real person. He always came across to me as really genuine, and I think that won him a lot of moderate votes during this election; I'm sure a lot of it is scripted, but if he is THAT good at acting all the time, he could be making a lot more money in Hollywood.

                                            I love that he has a fairly young family. He's not older and out of touch with people- he empathizes with his elders, but he also looks out for the younger populations and women's rights, since he has two young daughters.

                                            EDIT: Empathize, not emphasize. Thanks imitationcrabmeat.

                                            Definitely not laid back or chill. Read about what he's like day to day. Down to earth, but NOT laid back or chill. Man is driven on his fucking mission.

                                            Edit: Apparently I struck a nerve with the Republicans and Libertarians of the group. You don't have to agree with him but if you think he's trying to hurt the country or other countries then you're caught up in a lot of absurd rhetoric.

About an hour into the event, secret service shows up and locks the place down. In walks Clinton, flanked by security and white house photographers. He shook some hands, took some pictures, look at the bones. When he stopped by me, he asked if I liked the exhibit, and we ended up discussing various dinosaurs for a few minutes. He was then whisked away into the Chicago night.

We rolled up and there were security everywhere. We waited up made late and finally he came. He shook my hand and then the secret service nodded at me and I got to go into the gift shop he was in, squeezing through the photograpghers. He shook my hand and told me to tie my shoe that was untied. And I got a pic with him by the white house photographer. They had such good hot chocoalte there. Had it as a fucking meal, nothing else. I was like 12.

They kind of have different connotations, apart from the fact that "strong photo" could also be referring to the technical strength of the photo, as opposed to the "power" of the emotions it conjures.

We like to find someone to blame failures on and the President is the most visible face so it's easiest to pin them on him. It takes a few years to even track all the real good things they do.

                                                                                                          Now this teacher is one of those crazy liberals. Not slightly leaning to the left, but this kind of guy who will link an anti-GOP article all the time on his twitter account and help show how evil they are, multiple times a day. He gets really riled up! Like, "Whoa..Okay sir, breathe a bit..Calm down..."

                                                                                                          Anyway, he said to us in class one day, "And just as much as I wanted to hear horrible stories about Bush, everyone loved him. I heard nothing about how much of a fun, charming, kind person he was. A good number of them didn't think he was suitable for president, but they liked him as a person nevertheless."

                                                                                                          It was interesting to learn this, I thought.

It's just so completely human and playful more than any other picture I've ever seen of a president. I love it so much. More than any posed picture with any amount of smiles and more that any picture of him and his wife and kids. Even so much that it defeats any picture with service men or other kids or almost anything. It's the one picture I can always relate to because it tells me that even though we disagree on some issues and I'll never get why he does some of the things he does, he's a scamp.

                                                                                                                      He's an imp and a childish humor-based man who loves to poke.

                                                                                                                      And so am I.

                                                                                                                      His other pictures show his obvious love of his wife and his kids and the people he governs, but the weighing picture is just so pure and joyful and gleeful and fun that I can't help but love it.

                                                                                                                      [–]The_Bravinator 20 points21 points ago

                                                                                                                      He also seems genuinely good with all those kids. I know the "pics with kids" thing is a really common photo op, but he just seems really at ease around them. So many people who rise to the highest levels of business or politics aren't able to make much time for family and thus seem a bit more stiff and awkward with kids, but given the stories you hear about him having dinner with his kids as often as he can, I think what you're seeing there is the natural comfort of a father who's had plenty of practice entertaining little ones. :)

Politicians are all people. People, just like you and me. Human beings with real feelings, aspirations, hopes, fears, etc. We have our own opinions and beliefs, they have their own opinions and beliefs. We all want to do what we think is good/best. It doesn't matter what party they belong to. Democrat, Republican (yes, Republican, reddit), Green, Libertarian, Socialist, Constitution, or whatever else. I would be amazed if there actually were politicians who did not think what they were doing is good. The results of their actions may not line up with their intentions all their time, or they might not line up with your beliefs, or whatever. But I'm sure they are just normal people who want to do what they think is best.

It's really hard to win the presidency if you lack the whole being a human part. Big reason why Romney lost. I mean, just go read stories about old Presidents and find pictures. Bush Sr and Junior were both hilarious guys, and could make fun of themselves. I like Obama, and it's nice to see these pictures, but it's annoying to me that people act like he's the only human president or the only president who did this sort of thing. Don't be such a partisan bafoon.

A lot of people hate him because of the F-35 jet purchase and because of how they straight-up lied about some things and were very misleading about others (I'm for the purchase because we need them, against how secretive and misleading he was).

                                                                                                                                            People accuse him of having a secret agenda about making gay marriage and abortion illegal (both of which are completely unfounded and these people should always be ignored). The abortion thing almost holds weight because the Conservative Party of Canada does have some social conservatives, however they are generally not vocal.

                                                                                                                                            He generally supports Israel.

                                                                                                                                            He has made some very controversial cuts (he did some across-the-board funding cuts recently, which caused some beloved science projects to lose funding such as the ELA).

                                                                                                                                            He got rid of the long-form census, which people are pretty split on.

                                                                                                                                            He hasn't legalized marijuana yet.

                                                                                                                                            There have been a few mandatory minimum sentences instated for non-violent crimes.

                                                                                                                                            In this term, he's pushed through two Omnibus bills, which are seen rather negatively. One of them was pushed through after a 24ish hour debate in which every amendment proposed by the opposition was shot down.

                                                                                                                                            He recently passed a FIPA (Foreign Investment Protection Agreement) with China that stirred up a pot of controversy, with many complaints of how secretive it was and how there was no discussion/debate in the House of Commons regarding it (they conveniently forget to mention that FIPAs are generally not debated in the House, and they have not complained about any of the other ones he has passed recently).

                                                                                                                                            While a lot of the criticisms of you see of him are valid, they're often taken much too far (on Reddit and pretty much any other site) by the partisan crowd (think of the Canadian version of /r/politics). I've also probably forgotten a few things that people hate him for, but a lot of them are non-issues and only made into issues because Harper is literally Hitler.

                                                                                                                                            As a side note, I'll add that if Harper took similar stances to Obama and passed the same bills (I'm looking at you, NDAA 2012), people over in r/Canada would be having a riot.

                                                                                                                                            [–]el_notario 3 points4 points ago

Even if all that is is appearance, it's amazing. I am a nurse and I work 12 hours shifts and when things get stressful for me, I turn into a short tempered asshole. I snarl at telemetry techs, patient care assistants and even other nurses when they're bothering me about something I perceive as less important than what I'm dealing with at the moment. And I'm not unique. We're all like that where I work and no one takes it personally and it's fine. But I'm only there 12 hours 3 days a week and then that's it. My job is stressful but it's not all the time. The president has to be on 24/7. I can't imagine how exhausting and stressful that position must be. I mean maybe he yells at people or get's snappy and the media is just not there when it happens or is kept quiet some how when it does, but I feel like if I were in his position, there would be no keeping it quiet because of the raging bitch I'd become. All the presidents are incredible to stay sane through their presidency, thank god for people better than me.
