  • American presidents know that from the moment they wake up to the moment they go to bed, the lens of history is on them. For former President Barack Obama, that lens typically belonged to official White House photographer Pete Souza, who traveled just about everywhere with him. When the White House changed hands, Souza didn't stop telling Obama's story - but he started doing it in a very different way, using the photos he took on the job, to offer a silent commentary on President Trump via social media. He documents it all in his new book, ‘SHADE: A Tale Of Two Presidents.’ Jim Braude was joined by Pete Souza.

      Amen. I adored Obama throughout the '08 campaign and was lovingly grateful for him every single day of his presidency. But after almost 3 years of Trump I feel like a battered wife with severe PTSD. Now, I weep when I look at pics and videos of Obama - both because I miss him excruciatingly, and also because this demented psychopath in the Oval Office kicks this country in the kidney. Every. Goddamn. Day. 😥

      Joe Me , saved your economy from the abyss so that you can keep your job - leave the racism buddy , it really messes up cognitive processes and turns humans into animals ( which is an insult to animals ) .

    That little boy didn’t touch President Obama’s head to see if his hair felt like his, he did it because President Obama told him that it not only felt like his, but it was the very same as his, and that is why it is beautiful. It was so beautiful.

    I have his first book "Intimate Portraits" it is absolutely amazing and shows what a wonderful, kind, decent, human being Barack Obama is/was. most striking to me is looking at the people in the picture as well. they all looked at Obama with joy and happiness and respect. highly recommend the book worth every penny. how I miss this great man!

    Thank you, MSNBC, for sharing "The Way I See It" on television tonight (Oct 16th). WONDERFUL! As they say, "A picture is worth a 1000 words." As much as I enjoyed not having any commercials, I wish there was one so that I could call all my friends and tell them to watch it! I am looking forward to reading Pete Souza's book, "Shade, A Tale of Two Presidents." My sympathy to Pete on the recent loss of his mother. Ironic, that she questioned his career choice to become a photographer...
