I watched last night when the President and First Lady went up and talked to the kids after the debate. It was awesome.

Too bad the kid will likely grow up to be a frat boy douchebag.

All things considered, the fact that kids are so comfortable around Obama tells me a lot about who he is...a trustworthy, caring man who truly wants to make the world a better place...for you and for me...and the entire human race. Oh my goodness, I spontaneously just started singing "Heal the World" (Michael Jackson)!

I'd love to hear what Obama was saying -- the adults seemed to enjoy it!

11. Obama and Kids

There is just something magic between him and children. All three of my kids (7, 5 and 3) love Obama. Kids see him and smile, just like when he sees them he smiles right back and you can tell he's not pandering either, it's a genuine connection.

My kids don't know about the politics, my wife and I keep it pretty low key, but when Obama comes on they all get quiet. My daughter was so happy to have been able to "vote" for him in the Nick Kids Pick The President.

The little guy in the picture is some cute, I'm glad he got to meet the President.
