Jessikah Hale, 7, at far right, waits excitedly for President Barack Obama to make his way to her in a rope line in the Rose Garden of the White House in Washington, Friday, May 22, 2009, after a ceremony where the president signed the Weapons Systems Acquisition Reform Act. At left, President Obama greets Rep. Ellen Tauscher, D-Calif. and Sen. Ben Nelson, D-Neb. Jessikah was a guest with her mother, Stepanne Hale, from Texas.

Ah, update: here she is after meeting the President:

4. I love the look of happiness

I see on the faces of African-Americans at the sight of him.

I can never really understand what it must feel like for them, but that universal look of joy gives me a clue.

12. I was just thinking that

I'm expecting in 20 years or so for us to see something big from one of these kids we see meeting the president.
