[DrPresident]

2. awwwwwww

[crim son]

3. Wow is right.

The man gives me hope that we may be able to right some of the wrongs of the past. Hope. Such a strange, marvelous feeling.

[Tallison]

4. What a cute kid

Bet he'll never forget that moment. So many 'posing with the candidate' shots are lame - this one is special.

[Hope And Change]

5. Our next President?

[speedoo]

6. Amazing, incredible picture.

That young man's eyes say a million things. A million GREAT, AMERICAN things, that tell a story that McCain, Palin and all their loser pals cannot comprehend.

[polichick]

7. He got all dressed up to meet our next president! :)

[roguevalley]

34. how beautiful is that?

[Tallison]

8. One of these campaign shots will invariably catch O with a budding future Prez

You know, like the one of Clinton and Kennedy? Who will it be?

[monmouth]

9. What a beautiful child and what great memories he'll carry about this meeting..n/t

[justiceischeap]

10. I love that the kid is all dressed up

I can just imagine him in his house that morning, going through his clothes and trying to figure out what would make the best impression. The excitement he must have felt, making sure his tie was right, his pin was just so standing in front of the mirror. And then to top it all off, he got to meet Barack! I wish I weren't so jaded by life that I could have that kind of excitement and look of hope on my face. What a moment for him.

[stuntcat]

42. exactly!

[I Have A Dream]

22. May our country be healed by this Obama presidency.

:cry:

:loveya:

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

26. He can look into Obama's eyes and think to himself, "I can do ANYTHING"

This is an incredible time we are living in.

[gblady]

29. what an AMAZING capture....

it is stunningly beautiful...

[Imagevision]

56. Really! how he heck did someone get so clean a pic?

[Vektor]

32. What a beautiful child!

And I love his dress shirt and tie - all dressed up to go see our next president! :-)

[jwirr]

33. Obama is so good with the children. I wish someone would take all

the photos of him and children and publish a book - maybe the funds could go to some charity that helps children all around the world.

[hedgehog]

36. You beat me to it! We should start threads pushing this until it happens!

It worked for getting the campaign to put out an album of Obama music!

[XOKCowboy]

54. His own kids make me smile...

A true family man who represents hope to millions. Gotta love it.

[asdjrocky]

35. Those are just the best pictures.

When I think of how he'll help the youth of all colors rise in America, it really does give me chills.

[Shine]

37. Wow. Great shot.

:thumbsup:

[Chorophyll]

38. What a beautiful child.

These children are going to grow up feeling differently about themselves than the children of previous generations. Girls and boys of every color and background are going to believe that there's nothing they can't do.

This is America's promise being fulfilled.

[Arkana]

39. "You can do it too, son. One day, you can do it too."

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

40. My eyes are tearing up looking at these pictures.

A year ago I thought it would take 50 years to see this happen... and now its almost two weeks away. I am feeling more and more emotional as the days go by. I think about my nana who would have been 105 had she still lived on, born the daughter of sharecroppers. She was the maid up until the early 1980s for a wealthy family, a job that thank God none of us have to do. My cousins, little brother and I can rule the world, we can have anything we want despite the color of our skin. Nothing can hold us back. I sometimes wonder what she would think of my cousins, my brother and I and the world that we live in. I wonder what she would say if she could see the news now ... :hug: :cry: I'm voting for Obama and I will be thinking about my Nana when I do it.

Our entire family is going to vote together...

[Chorophyll]

44. ...

What a lovely post. So many threads have made me tear up tonight -- this is so exciting. Change really DOES happen! :hug:

[XOKCowboy]

41. I'm white and I grew up knowing that I could someday become President...

It took these pictures to make me realize that for the first time in our history, millions of minority children for the first time can share that dream. Just think how Obama has given that young man hope.

Thanks for the pics. Also check out this thread from earlier today.

[Olney Blue]

45. I love this picture!

[Ian_rd]

46. Dynamite photo. Oh man. The look on the kid's face! Holy shit.

"I can too."

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

47. The pride and hope in that young man's face

is a pearl beyond price.

[goodgd_yall]

48. He'll remember that moment the rest of his life n/t

[cayuga]

49. Incredible testament to hope, for all of us.

[ellacott]

50. Great picture

He even has his hair cut like Obama's. I bet their are more people going to barbershops asking for the Obama cut. :)

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

51. I was looking at that too.

Its great.

[BrklynLiberal]

52. Adoration. How beautiful.

That young man may be inspired to do things that had never occurred to him before he met Obama.

[Two Sheds]

53. One thing I've always found annoying on DU is all the posts that...

have subject lines that say something like, "I am crying buckets as I'm reading this." It just gets to me.
Well, this stone statue melted looking at the pictures in this thread. It frightens me sometimes to think what this election might mean.

[CampDem]

55. Yeah, Wow is right

This pic made me feel so intensely grateful for what is happening with this campaign and how it is impacting our country. I still have a lump in my throat and chills periodically running down my back when I peek back up and look at that child's face. Is this what healing looks like? I am invested emotionally in this campaign so much it almost hurts sometimes the way love does. It just means so much and feels so right. Ok so I am gushing a bit, but damn it, doesn't it just feed your soul a bit every day?

[saltpoint]

57. That photograph is why we vote.

I'll throw in a 'wow' as well.

[cjsmom44]

58. Beautiful...

65. Reminded me of a teenage boy I met this weekend

while canvassing. And he was looking at me that way! Share the love. Just put on an Obama shirt and go to the grocery store. You'll see it.
