[Cha]

[Arugula Latte]

3. that pic made me cry

[Born_A_Truman]

24. Me too! Instant tears.

It really hit me in my heart.

4. He's good with kids.

He treats them like beings deserving of respect in the way he talks with them on their level (eye level, that is) and jokes with them. I'm not surprised they love him.

[shanti]

19. and that

is how you can tell that obama is a GOOD man, the fact that kids like him!

[Honeycombe8]

5. Wow. He really has a way with people, doesn't he? That's remarkable! nt

[Jackeens]

6. Beautiful!!!!

[Hope And Change]

7. K & R!

[FirstLight]

8. I am SOOO proud of our PRES!

He is really taking the time and energy to acknowledge and CONNECT with the Latin American PEOPLE - not just the 'state visits' but the real connections that prove that there is definitely a New Sheriff in Town.

I imagine that many of the heads of state, their families and even regular people of these countries are just as glad as us that b*sh is history~

[Phx_Dem]

9. He's like the Pied Piper! I cannot EVER remember kids

reacting to an American President, or any other President for that matter, the way they do with President Obama. It's unbelievable.

10. Good photo

[ClarkUSA]

12. Great pic.

[ginnyinWI]

13. That man is magnetic.

Kids stick to him; he's the kind of adult that they instinctively can trust. What lucky girls are Sasha and Malia to have such a nice dad.

[Jackeens]

28. I used to love carrots. But it's over between us.

And it's all your fault, lame54.

[Kahuna]

31. LOL! Now you know how it feels when somebody ambushes you

with the chimp. :)

[Jackeens]

40. That's true! Chimp and the carrots are the ultimate revenge!

[whopis01]

30. "Get me out of here before my dad gets us all killed."

:shrug:

[Tarheel_Dem]

34. Kids all over the world feel the same way. Amazing....(nt)

[RFKHumphreyObama]

36. I can't imagine a similar picture of Dubya and Calderon's children

Obama is truly a class act

[orleans]

37. wow--look at that red tie business going on in the picture. n/t

[uponit7771]

38. Did kids react to any other president like this? Thx in advance...

39. Hannity & Co. will find a way to spin this in a negative way on Monday.

Limbaugh, Hannity and those other RW clowns on the radio have to be on the brink of having their heads exploding.

Obama can't make civil gestures toward world leaders and their families. But when Bush gropes the chancellor of Germany, not a peep from them.

Obama can't take a page from the New Deal and help the economy recover. But Hannity & Co. cry that we need to take a page from Bush's Raw Deal.
