Obama on why he's running for president-"I got hit in the head with a rock."

[jenmito]

Question to Obama from a 7 year old girl today-"Why did you start running for president?" He was funny. He then went on to answer seriously-that HE has a 7-year old daughter, too, and he wants to make the country and world a better place for them. It was very touching. They just showed it on CNN.

1. I love how he connects with kids

I can't help but think that this will influence many parents. I think Barack is wining the "who would you rather have a beer with" contest. Handily.

3. So do I. He asked the girl his name-Natalia-and he said it's a very pretty name and she's

a very pretty girl-just like his 7-year old daughter Natasha. He's very good with kids and his own kids have obviously been raised very well.

4. Aw

Great little gem. Thanks. Totally agree about him being a terrific parent. That certainly would play well among other parents, one would think.
