(16,254 posts)The young people...even the little ones...love this couple. In all my years of watching politics, I cannot remember a president and his wife who have excited children like these two do. The children glow when either stop to speak to them. There is an instant acceptance and excitement. I'm so glad the photographer catches these moments and that our children even acknowledge that they know who President and Mrs. Obama are. I simply can't recall this happening before.

If you take more than a moment to stare at these images and reflect - just linger a bit and wonder just what must be going on on their young minds and how that encounter will bear on these children's future ambitions -- you're just bound to feel something special.

It just occurred to me I haven't seen a single pic of HRH with children other than her own, grown miscreants. I've seen plenty of pix of her DH scaring or boring the bejeezas out of babes and kiddies. But none of HRH showing her "softer" side (where ever that may be, assuming there is one in there somewhere).
