This Is Why I Love Obama

Obama had a cardinal rule: “...You don’t put stuff on your head if you’re president,” That’s politics 101. You never look good wearing something on your head."

Chief White House photographer Pete Souza posted a photo to Instagram today showing the president donning a tiara alongside a group of Girl Scouts from Tulsa, Oklahoma. The photo, from the annual White House Science Fair, was taken in May.

What a delightful, sweet picture. This is a man very secure within himself. Humble with a good sense of humor. This is a man who's made up his mind to enjoy his final years in office and not give a rat's ass what anyone thinks.

I love this comment from someone on Huffington Post:

Sometimes you see a photo and just know. This is a man with daughters. The kind of man who probably let his nails be polished and has had many a cup of imaginary tea, while in the company of teddy bears. I understand he plays basketball as well.

It's predictable what the ugly, joyless responses from the right wingers will be. But, I'm not going to give a rat's ass. Haters gonna hate.

1. That's a man who

has daughters. I've got pictures of myself wearing tiaras for tea parties and I love this guy for having the guts to do it as the leader of the free world.

We'll be hard pressed to get such a good person in office again in our lifetime.

2. Yes. Those that disparage him have no idea

what they're in for in the future. I will continue to relish his presence while we have him. Someone broke this mold, I'm afraid.

5. 'This is a man who's made up his mind to enjoy

his final years in office.' So true.

I've enjoyed every minute of posting and learning here in the Barack Obama Group.

Happy New Year to one and all!!!
