(68,475 posts)I share it. I have two daughters and 3 granddaughters. I did not mean to upset you or anyone. I think the President saw a very cute little girl who was waving at him and giving him a very nice smile. That is all. It is all I meant and all that I think was intended judging by the photo sequence. She held out her arms to be hugged by the President. He does this with lots of babies and young kids. They see a kind of warmth and niceness in him. I think that is a wonderful thing about Obama.
You are right to be vigilant about child sexual abuse. But I am a lifelong feminist in my early 70s and I cherish the girls and young women in my own family, as I am sure you do in yours.
I am not angry with you because I think your heart is in the right place. You simply assumed the worst about my post and it is definitely not the case.
