Oct 2012

Small gestures such as Obama taking the time to recognize him last night could change that child's path in life. It could sway his ideals from conservative to liberal. From Republican to Democrat.

Imagine years from now, that kid on the ballot as a Romney for President, but as a Democrat. All because the POTUS leaned forward, kindly acknowledged him with a smile.

Very cool stuff to think about.

FORWARD!
