The Obama Diary 
the baby’s face says it all…and makes me wanna weep…
Yes, it does. This one is precious.
Aww he looks like a little man. Cute.
Thanks for the compliment! This is my 4 mo old son and I in this picture. Very exciting day for him!!
Little Nate is so precious!!! Shalom!!!
Hi you have a beautiful little son. He is adorable!
Is that little guy smiling at his president? I think he is. What a sight!
President Obama is great with children. That baby looks so smart.
I really would love it if someone could put together an album of pictures showing President Obama interacting with children. These images show so much genuine care and they always make me realize again what a great human being this President is. I believe such a collection of pictures would be unique in the history of American presidents.
Ingerhard,Chipsticks posted just such a video recently. Have you seen that one yet?
Ooops, hgerhard. Sorry for the mis-spell. Looks like new glasses are in my future! lol
No, I must have missed that. Do you remember the approximate date or the title of the post so I can try to find it? Thanks for letting me know about it.
Just posted the link for you hgerhard, 😉
Thanks for reminding me Gloria, I just posted the link for hgerhard 😉
Hey hgerhard, here’s a little video from a few days ago that you might enjoy:

Thank you, Chipsticks, that is just amazing. I have to try to somehow save that video so I can look at it when my spirits are low. It will bring my smile back every time. Thanks again – this site is priceless.
I wanted to suggest another link:
http://theobamadiary.com/2010/11/13/cold-aloof-disconnected-oh-and-dont-forget-uppity/
I don’t know how to make it a hyperlink here, but you can copy & paste it. The song was Corner by Allie Moss. I loved it so much I bought the song on itunes and bookmarked the page. 🙂
This is more than just children. The very young & very old…and everyone in between.
I tried to post a link to a previous video on the site, but my post vanished. Maybe I’m not allowed to add a link within my comment? But the video was from November 13, 2010. The cover song was Corner by Allie Moss. This was one of my favorites. The subject was about a cold & aloof PBO. But his warmth always shines through with the very young, the very old and everyone in between. 🙂
Well nevermind I see it now. 🙂
Agreed. Chip has some compiling to do.
President Obama is so Epic even the babies who have no clue love him.
I am very grateful for being alive right now to see this. He has surpassed any President I’ve seen thus far and he has a world view the likes of which we’ve never seen before.
I am so proud to be a citizen of the US with President Obama at the helm. And could his family be any more Epic? I can see why the “other side” is having a hissy fit.
Forgive me while I have a moment of Zen …
Here’s a site from the 08 campaign:

Oh!!!! My…That Baby smiling at the President…Speaks volume:-) getting all teary here..
Wow….at that age an innocent heart feels the goodness of the man’s soul.
This makes my day…….Thank you so much Chip …. much love dear one 🙂
😉 Kasai
kasai, That baby was smiling back at him. Obama has such a way with children. They can feel his open and giving love.
Awwww. Looking like a little old man. What a knowing smile!
I love the little guy’s knowing smile as he looks at the POTUS.
We love our President. That cute lil’ baby agrees with us!
Children seem to have an affinity with President Obama and he definately has a way with children. What a pure and beautiful heart Barack has. My son, now 10 adores him and quite often looks at the pictures on this and other pro Obama sites. At the age of 3 when PBO made the key note speech at the DNC it was on the news and my boy stopped playing and just gazed at the screen, when the reporter started talking he said (and I paraphrase slightly here)’be quiet I like the other man’ meaning PBO. It was then that I began taking more of an interest in his career and him!
We are truly blessed to live in the ‘age of Obama’
Your son sounds like he is a cutie! I loved that he said,”….be quiet I like the other man,” and you knew he meant PBO! Kids are a lot smarter than most people think! Your post reminds me of a video I saw a few years ago in which young kids in a classroom liked BO’s photo more than they did McCain’s and said complimentary things about then-candidate Obama. It just seems that kids are drawn to him.
Thanks Majii he is a great little guy!
Speaks volumes about the spirit of the President ;o)
For everyone who wants to know yes he is smiling. I know this because he is my son. What an awesome day for my wife and little Nate!!
Ronald, Welcome!! Your baby Nate is such a cutie! And your wife is sooo lucky that she was able to get so close. It makes my heart glad to see PBO with children… they have an affinity towards him and it’s reciprocated. It would be great if you or your wife could share how it felt and what PBO said to your little guy 🙂
Thanks!
Ronald, thanks for letting us know who this precious baby is! Mother and Nate are lucky to have a great picture for the family album. It looks like Nate is a happy and healthy baby.
awwww….he is a cutie pie!!!!!
Wishing you, your wife and your little man Nate much health and happiness. It would be great if in 4 or 5 more years, Nate has
another opportunity to say Heh to our President. As Malia says, “Dad, kids don’t shake hands”.
One of the many reasons I support our President is the future he wants for all America’s children.
God bless, your son is adorable.
Ronald, Thank you for sharing with us. I would be walking on air. Best to you and your family.
This is my son and I. He is 4 months old. It is a pretty exciting day for us seeing his picture all over the web!
He is quite the cute little celebrity. I know he is a joy to have and love, and he is so personable at 4 months of age! Watch out! He’s gonna be a babe magnet!!
The spirit of a child tells all. Blessing to your family.
The President was greeting everyone along the fence and when he got to Nathan and I he stopped and said hello to Nathan (who proceeded to drool…). I think he said what a cute little guy and then mentioned how he was blowing bubbles. 🙂 He shook my hand and then continued on down the line. Quite an honor for us considering he only paused to talk to Nathan and no one else. He just shook hands besides…Very exciting for us!
Awww Jessica thanks for visiting and giving us the details on you and your son’s epic presidential meeting. I was feeling bummed out that I didn’t get to see POTUS speech at the campaign event tonight and boom this awesome update appears. Thank you and Ronald and of course Nate. 🙂
What a great story! Jessica and Ronald, your little Nate really captivated our attention – he looks so cute, smart and attentive. And he’s got great taste, smiling at the President like that! What a lovely scene and even nicer that you came here to give us some background information. Thanks!
Ronald, thanks for the heads up. Lucky little Nate and mom for meeting the President. Little Nate will at school be bragging, hey, guys at 4 months I met the POTUS. Ronald, thanks for visiting hope you drop in again. Its a lovely place, this wonderful oasis TOD.
Thanks!!
Ronald, your son looks very perceptive at his age. That facial expression suggests he is a very smart little one.
It is great to see how this little guy made and held eye contact with the president. He is a very smart and cute baby.
