really, never. Not even JFK had this gift. I can see people not agreeing with policies, but anyone who hates this man isn't right in the head as far as I'm concerned.

what caught my eye especially were these two.. the little girl with her arm around the President's and the little girl looking up so sweetly.

You know he loves it!

I love the picture with the tiara and the one with the kids giving him the bunny ears. He has never had a problem with people having fun with him. I remember several times during the campaign when Michelle would make fun of him in the intros to speeches. He's comfortable and confident enough in who he is. Unlike his predecessor who would strut around in his cowboy hat and cowboy boots with the presidential seal and could not pull it off, all hat and no cattle.

Peace

He is so natural with kids.

he's really playing for the little doctor - incredibly tuned in and trusting with his eyes shut.

and the one of him gently holding the little one - tender, gentle and loving

thanks, steve2470 ... and happy new year!
