18. I think there must be thousands up uplifting President Obama pictures.

We all have our favorites. This one of Archie is right up there. For me, my all time favorite is the one where President Obama bends down to let the little boy touch his hair. Glorious pictures that capture his pure decency and caring with children, the elderly, the physically challenged, all races and genders.

And not a single one of the Resident that captures a drop of decency. Not a single one.

That says it all.
