7. It works now and I LOVE the story!
It shows that Barack really notices and connects with the people he interacts with!

Great story. And what a great father he is. People who love kids are my kind of people.

8. cute story...I really liked it. I'm surprised he was so aware though.
With all the pushing and clawing going around in those things, it's surprising he was on top of what the baby was chewing. I love Obama he's so thoughtful. He becomes more and more impressive.

9. Now that is really kind of amazing
That's presence of mind; that's noticing and caring about an individual, and not just seeing a big chaotic crowd. Most politicians would be on autopilot in that situation.

12. A good little moment that perfectly encapsulates what makes Obama awesome
He's normal and decent in that he'd do stuff that is commonsensical but irrational or unthinkable in politics but also extraordinary in his ability to just casually start big waves with one little push.

I think an Obama Presidency will be the most effective in that it would catalyze the American people to be activists in their own governance.

15. that is a LOVELY story
It says so much about him, that he didn't see the kid as just another baby to kiss, or only looked at him for a split second on his way to the next handshake, but really looked at him closely enough to see that he was chewing on something he shouldn't have been.

I love a guy who's a good daddy. :loveya:

17. Lol. Don't forget the flowers for Michelle.
Which reminds me, I forgot to tell my boyfriend how beautiful those flowers were. And that we don't live far from that florist...

:evilgrin:
