A strong man, wearing a wedding band, and combing his baby girl's hair.

i rode a bus for 9 hours each way w several members of the cook county black nurses assoc. we knocked doors in cinncinati.
they were one of the groups he had worked w as an organizer. such a great time.

the story- obama used to bring the girls to meetings on the regular, and they always seemed to need their hair fixed. there were a couple of ladies that passed the meeting fixing their hair for him. it was remembered w sweet smiles by several others on the bus.

i bet when no one was looking, he knew full well how to do it just like this, the stinker.

A co-worker told me one day his wife was out of town and he was responsible for doing their 8-year-old daughter's hair and he didn't do so well.

"Does she look awful?" I asked him.

"Her hair's a mess, but she's so beautiful, it doesn't matter."

We hear so much negativity about black fathers, so I love these stories, which represent the majority of our black daddies (including mine, who never could manage my hair).

both from the '08 trail and '04, and the hood (not his, but the northside version, affectionately known as the people's republics. he was a frequent visitor)
also, a family member served in the wh. i was on the outs, and didnt get the ww tour like the rest of the family. boo. but now i know the next rope line i get to tell him who i am, and i will get that smile.

yup, yup. good stories for the grankids to go w the memorabilia that they will be stuck with.

I honestly thought it was going to be another creepy Trump and Ivanka picture. Very happy to see that there are fathers who love their daughters in non-creepy ways.
