Indelible Image of a Boy and a President

...
Quote:...In the photo, Mr. Obama looks to be bowing to a sharply dressed 5-year-old black boy, who stands erect beside the Oval Office desk, his arm raised to touch the president’s hair — to see if it feels like his. The image has struck so many White House aides and visitors that by popular demand it stays put while others come and go. ... http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/24/us/pol...c_ev=click

Geez, this brought a tear to my eye.
Confirmed, Fox "news" makes you stupid

The ones you are noticing are more terrified than anything else. They are lashing out because they are comfortable; and to acknowledge what is happening is a threat to that comfort. Ignore them, for they are not the voices that will rise in the coming days, months and years. They are not the voices of our collected humanity. They are the old voices of fear and impotence. - Anonymous

You can almost hear the little boy saying "I can grow up to be president too."
"I give thanks for this perfect day. Miracle will follow miracle and wonders will never cease."

The universe tends to unfold as it should.

Beautiful picture.

Aaaaand of course it's already being attacked. Yesterday I saw, on a public forum a comment: "I bet he wouldnt let a white kid do that."

Argh.
