The little boy was enthralled that a man with the same kind of hair as his was the president. That's why the president bent down to let the little boy touch his hair, to confirm that it was the same.

President Obama gave hope to a generation of black children. It's up to us to make that promise true.

I hope he ends up with lots of grandkids; he will be the best grandfather!

Of course these make me tear up at what we lost when his term was finished.

little black boys looking at him with awe.

Let us get through these times with some productive changes so that more of those little boys can grow up to be like him.

because he is so natural and he obviously really likes them.

His smile is always so genuine, so open. A truly decent man.

Add eleven years to all the kids and all the others who were kids while he was President and since - they will not accept the Con or his racism. They are in the streets - they saw empathy, decency, integrity and respect for reason and that is what they want.
