Time: Second unannounced stop…Sycamore Elementary, where around 300 deliriously excited and screaming kids lined up outside.
Did pool mention screaming? Think Michael Jackson in Tokyo type screaming.
“Omigod he touched me! He touched me!” Yelled one little girl in pink.
“He’s right up there!” Yelled one boy.
Potus worked the rope line, grinning, as wave after wave of kids grabbed his hand, fell back, then rushed up to grab his hand again, double dipping.
(LOL)
Another report here
President Barack Obama greets students at Sycamore Elementary School in Kokomo, Indiana, November 23
Some of the Secret Service guys look very suspicious of those kids… Maybe they think one of them will throw a slushee at the President?
Hey I just found some video footage of this from this link…

LOVE it Donna, will add it to the post – thank you!!!
Funny the headline on that news item…”President Still Popular….with Elementary School Kids”. Yeah, so why are they clamoring to greet him? Maybe because he is still popular with their parents? I’ve never gone to a Fox News site, and hope I’m not inclined to in the future, but the video got my curiosity. The media (I will not call it news) is pathetic, and most of all, just damn jealous and resentful of the talents of President Obama. He is still popular with the people who voted for him in the first place, and the rest can’t keep their eyes off of him. Call it 2 kinds of obsession..LOL!
The headline hit me too, beyond pathetic. I think they’re just feeling particularly bitter because today’s trip to the Chrysler plant highlighted the success of the Stimulus – the car industry is roaring back. And you know them, the last thing they want is for America to succeed under this President. True patriots!
Man. How the American media can cover up how people respond to this president just makes me INSANE. Kids screaming with delight. They KNOW this man is genuine. They KNOW this man is important. They KNOW this man is there to help.
I know it’s time we all stood up and SCREAMED for Barack Obama!!! BEST. PRESIDENT. EVER!!!!!
I couldnt have said it better, Little Lulu. The American media is in the tank for the rethugs, period. And no one can convince me otherwise.
How wonderful to see children get so excited about the President! Too bad most of the media chooses not to show how wonderfully he is received.
