Its obvious these kids adore him, and Michelle too.

One thing I've noticed with empathetic people--they look you in the eye. They pay attention to what you are saying on a personal level. You are worth their time. I see this same quality in Joe Biden.

yet bitter sweet as I recall how Rethugs treated them like shit.

What a great example they were for all Americans but especially for our youth.

Thanks for the beautiful memories, LLiPS.........

Not just, I parade and you admire me. And the republicans hated having a black president of the US. Gosh, how stupid to hate such a man as he is.

I turned my head away from her, and with lips pulled together under my mask said, "Barack Obama! Our real and true president!" She must get enuff of that answer. She laughed and agreed. I commiserated with her and two others regarding our nation's current disastrous condition.

That ease and understanding means that the adult has a lot of empathy, the ability to imagine oneself in someone else’s shoes. Someone very different’s shoes.

I honestly can’t imagine anything other than basic intelligence that could be more important in a head of government than this ability.
