The photo naturally shows former President Obama wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap passing by, with the Washington Monument and fully bloomed cherry blossoms in the background, along with the children smiling brightly.

The children's father immediately recognized former President Obama during the shoot and promptly asked the photographer to check the captured scenes. Upon checking, the moment Obama appeared in the photo was perfectly preserved. The children's parents shared this special moment on their social media, calling it "an unforgettable memory and a keepsake for the whole family." As the photo gained attention, President Obama himself commented on the post. He left a message saying, "Sorry for photobombing," along with a greeting, "I hope you enjoyed the peak bloom season."
In addition, former President Obama shared photos of his cherry blossom walk on his own social media. He wrote, "Sometimes it's fun to just look around like a tourist. The cherry blossoms were truly beautiful this morning," along with photos of the blossoms. Despite the sudden encounter, the family reportedly did not disturb Obama's walk and quietly enjoyed the moment. This anecdote has been noted as a case where a single photo accidentally captured a special intersection with a former president.
Meanwhile, former President Obama has recently been mentioned repeatedly in U.S. political circles unintentionally. This is due to President Donald Trump. Regarding Trump's recent suggestion of the possibility of a third-term run, which is prohibited by the Constitution, and the question about facing off against former Democratic President Barack Obama, who served two terms and then stepped down, Trump responded, "That would be good. I like that."

He added, "People are telling me to run (in the next election). There is a lot of talk about a third-term run," and emphasized, "I don't know. I haven't looked into it, but people say there is a way to do that." Previously, the 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution prohibits a president from serving more than two terms. This provision was ratified in 1951 as a measure to prevent concentration of power after former President Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected four times. Roosevelt died during his fourth term.
