Many of the images of the world’s most photographed man were taken at campaign rallies.
Others were shot during down time, when the President and First Lady, Michelle Obama, could take a breather from their exhausting schedules.
A poignant photo of the First Couple embracing in the darkness after the President’s final campaign rally made Barack Obama’s dozen favorite pictures, as well as one of the pair gazing at their home town, Chicago, from across the water.
“We don’t turn back. We leave no one behind. We pull each other up,” Barack Obama said at the Democratic National Convention, where an image of him at the podium made the top shots.
Photos of Barack Obama interacting with his youngest fans also made the cut for 2012’s best pictures.
In one image, Barack Obama is being saluted by an adorable toddler, while another shows him hugging a couple of kids at an elementary school visit.
On first glance, the school photo looks like a million others, however it’s the two classmates sneaking a cheeky kiss in the background that makes the photograph brilliant.
A superb shot of Barack Obama throwing a football on a bright green field and another of him dropping for push ups while a group of basketball players high five beside him round off the photos that chronicle what was a huge, but ultimately successful, year for America’s leader.
