(3,991 posts)Look at his face, its like he's saying a prayer while giving the hug. This is a man who, whatever else they may say, really cares about human suffering. I like that. Its a power.

(3,991 posts)I was so moved by interviews I saw with her after the ordeal. It will never cease to amaze me how a person's soul, their spirit, has the power to shine right through any disability fate gives them. When I saw Mrs. Giffords will to heal and help after all the brain damage, I was more effected than anything she could have done as a highly effective brilliant woman.
The beauty of that picture isn't in the way Obama is hugging her (although that fact is nice) its in the way she is hugging him. Her soul shines through.
Look at it again.

(10,237 posts)You can tell that the dad is happier about his son having the moment with the Prez than if he were there himself.
To me, that's one of the signs of a great dad!
PEACE!

(24,544 posts)The happiness of the little boy. The joy on the dad's face. The seriousness on the president's face as if he understands better than everyone else how much he and his presidency mean to people... it just gets me.

(24,544 posts)The president looks as though he's thinking, "man, I know how you feel. I wish I could take a nap right now too..."

(47,675 posts)FOX would pick up on it - "HIPPY-HEADED TOMMY CHONG STONER-LOOKING GUY HUGGED BY OBAMA!!!!" I just wouldn't want to do that to him. Otherwise, I would LOVE to hug him. He's possibly the best president we've ever had. I can't say for sure because I've never met any of them and am highly unlikely to, even the ones that are still alive.
