The White House

The White House Flickr account is a great way to get a glimpse of the inner workings at the Oval Office.

And every once in a while, amidst all of the serious shots of policymakers huddled in a conference room or standing behind the president as he signs a bill, we're treated to a picture like this.

President Barack Obama shows a softer side in this picture captured by White House photog Pete Souza. The Prez is playing peek-a-boo with Maeve Beliveau, the daughter of Director of Advance Emmett Beliveau, in the Outer Oval Office.

We're not sure if lil' Maeve knows exactly who the man in the suit really is, but we're sure the pic will give her some great stories to tell when she gets older.
