[elixir]

74. Is this assuming that he's not somebody?

[Cali_Democrat]

8. That's a VERY powerful picture indeed. nt

[Viva_La_Revolution]

64. Reminds me of the conversation I had with my son's friend just 2 days ago...

18 yr. old kid knows nothing about politics really, but when I told him I thought Obama might really be our next president, a light actually went on in his eyes. :) It was so nice to see, this kid has been through months of part-time jobs, no hopeful future prospects... the thought that another black man might actually become president perked him right up.

[Nitrogenica]

9. Thank you. Great pic.

[islandmkl]

10. this is barack right after the rocket attacks he had to endure between...

the Virgin Islands and North Carolina....

[MaineDem]

13. You can grow up to be anything you want!

This little guy is going to grow up knowing that African Americans (and women) run for President.

An awesome picture!

[VenusRising]

14. What a great photo.

I'm grinning from ear to ear. :D

[george_maniakes]

15. Have we had a thread in recent days that hasnt been trashed at all?

lets see what happens....

[jenmito]

17. Who can trash this one?

I'd be surprised.

[scheming daemons]

18. Just wait.... somebody will.....

[jenmito]

19. I hope they'll just stay away. We'll see, but we can HOPE.

:)

[tekisui]

50. It should be ok.

Hillary Supporters are "on strike". They are taking a week to re-group and re-invade DU after a 7 day strike.

[jenmito]

16. Can you tell me how you posted that pic? I'd love to post it in an email to my friends.

Without having to just attach file. :hi:

[rateyes]

76. Just send them the link:

Right click on the pic, open "properties" then copy the url address to your clipboard, and paste the address in your e-mail. The recipient can click on the link and the pic will come up all by itself. Like this:

(except you have to remove the space between http:// and the next d. (If that space wasn't there you would see the same pic in this post. If you copy and paste the above link to your browser's address bar without the extra space, the pic will come up by its lonesome.

[Cha]

26. A thousand words that touch

my heart


Thanks, DI,

[WinkyDink]

55. Oh, no! Another head-rubbing President (perhaps)! (Heh. Just cutting the sentimental.)

[K Gardner]

27. *sniff* - how unbelievably touching :-)

[NightWatcher]

28. maybe that kid will look up to Obama and work hard in school and not end up in prison

as are a disproportionate number of black males in America

[roguevalley]

29. wonderful picture. thank you so much for such a sweet interlude in

the nuttiness around here.

[Drunken Irishman]

30. I'm gonna bump this.

Yes, shameless, I know.

[kentuck]

31. It almost looks like a Norman Rockwell retro painting...

Very touching.

[Drunken Irishman]

33. kentuck are you feeling better now about the Obama-Wright issue?

I know earlier in the week you were really worried, still feel that way?

[Bonobo]

[SaveAmerica]

37. People don't forget the children, they are our future we need a pres who will do the best for them

They couldn't have asked for the conditions to be better for that picture. The light is shining on that little boy, the children are our future.

[SeattleGirl]

38. Wow! Such a great picture!

:loveya:

[WilliamPitt]

[slinkerwink]

41. President Obama!

[fadedrose]

42. Makes my heart smile & I agree with all comments above mine..

[mindfulNJ]

43. the look on the boy's face

is priceless. Thanks for posting this:)

[Tatiana]

44. That look in the boy's eyes... there's a question he's asking.

And the way Obama doesn't just shake his hand, but he connects with him physically... as if to say "Yes, this is real and we're (you and me) going to do this."

The button-down shirt and tie... just GUH.

:cry:

[BklynChick]

84. he's asking, "will you please be my president? please?!"

[ClayZ]

46. Great Photo! K and R

[catgirl]

49. Thanks for sharing!!

What a cutie!

[New Earth]

51. I saw this yesterday

it looks like the same boy he greeted when he first entered the rally. The boy had the same look in his eyes that time too. I was in tears! Then he turned to his dad (or the older man next to him) all excited, like 'did you see that Dad!!!' awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
i've been crying off and on ever since, just thinking of this picture.

[dkf]

52. What a powerful picture.

I can see Obama's love of people so clearly in a lot of these pics.

Beautiful.

[hiphopnation]

78. k&r

for such an inspirational photograph.

thanks for posting

also, thanks for the lack of editorial. this whole post is golden

[russian33]

79. was the boy not able to walk before?

and after touched, walked? that's why this is so special?

[redqueen]

86. And another.

I knew it wouldn't be just one.

[ExPatLeftist]

88. What you find touching...

...and what I find touching is likely to be different, as people vary greatly. That is a beautiful in life.

No one is asking you to see why this "is so special" - if you don't, you don't. No big deal. But I don't see why you need to be disrespectful because you disagree.

[nam78_two]
