The powerful, positive kind.

Brrrrr...again....

21. She is still a child, Blanche.

Her accomplishments, strength and compassionate wisdom are a wonder to behold.

I couldn't agree with you more, my dear Blanche~

[uppityperson]

7. I wonder what the Obama girls will grow up into, who they will be, what they will do

I know this is about Malala but seeing Malia, the look on her face too.

[Cha]

8. I think the Obamas thought it was important for Malia

to be there too.. with Malala. And, with role models like these..!

I know I loved the admiring look that Malia gave..

[BlancheSplanchnik]

20. me too, you can really see that she's deeply affected by Malala.

Wow!!

[BluegrassStateBlues]

13. Not a problem.

Saw it making the rounds on Twitter and felt the need to share here.

I bet her and Malia had a nice conversation.

5. Malia and Malala

love the look on Malia's face.

full of sharia law with her

[Heather MC]

18. Oh no her Mooslim Witch Craft may turn our President into the American Version of the Taliban

A Republican!!!!

11. I hope the young lady...

can affect some of the women in her country. Once the women start standing up, things will change. She is a good role model. K&R

[BluegrassStateBlues]

12. She said she wants to be PM of Pakistan.

[awoke_in_2003]

on trying to make changes. I wish her luck.

[sheshe2]

28. My bet, she'll make it!

[Pisces]

14. Wow, incredible young lady.

[nolabear]

17. Thank you. I've missed these family photos of late.

I know it's political but it's nice to see them together and smiling. Malia must be just delighted.

[yuiyoshida]

22. She was great on Jon Stewart's show..

[monmouth3]

23. Her father is enormously proud of her and rightfully so. This photo will most likely hang in a

prominent place in their home. Lovely photo...

[Sky Masterson]

25. I'll bet Pres. Obama and family are more honored to meet her

than she is them. I love me some Malala!!

[lobodons]

26. So, I got a Nobel Peace Prize

You..??

[ailsagirl]

27. Beautiful! Thank you

[Politicub]

29. Wow!

What an inspiration! And I love that the bust of MLK is looking on.

[Iwillnevergiveup]

30. President Obama

is in very good company indeed.

31. Malala the Trotskyist?.......

A Grantite Trot, but a Trotskyist nonetheless.

[shireen]

32. seeing that pic made me wonder, what kind of conversation would you have with the president?

I really would not know what to say to them. Not because I'm in awe or intimidated, but because I'm terrible at small talk. And what would be appropriate small talk with the leader of the free world? Weather? Nice shoes? Love Michelle's dress? How's school, Malia?

Now, if Bo and his sister were there, I'd completely ignore the Obama and run over to play with the dogs. Because I'm totally nuts about dogs.

34. I wrote the President once.

On my mom receiving my dad's disability payments. The VA was dragging their feet after he died and she was about to lose her house. So, I wrote him and told him our situation. Two weeks later, she got a call from the VA saying they received a call from the White House and they were going to process her claim.

36. She told him that drones are fueling terrorism.

33. I was filled with fear trying to decide to watch the 20/20 show

about Malala. Partly because I would lose it and blubber throughout the whole show, which I did.
But more importantly of the fact it exposes me as a coward. After watching her I am more disappointed in myself as a human being than ever. I can only hope to rise to her courage and character. As I hope we all can.

[B Calm]

35. She should have won the Nobel Peace Prize

[noiretextatique]

37. a beautiful, intelligent, loving family

such a contrast to the smirks.

[hue]

38. I hope She remains safe!!! She is a wonderful role model!!
