Barack Obama - The Child Whisperer



Published on Mar 7, 2012
VOTE OBAMA 2012
What We Deserve!

The Child Whisperer - Thanks to all the amazing photograhers and artists who captured this man and this Presidency. Your photographs capture the pure souls of children and the kindred spirit they see in our wonderful President. These images and music help tell my story of this talented genius, Barack Obama. Thank you for allowing me to honor your work and share it with the world.

Children don't have the burden of distractions when it comes to what feels true. They see him better than most of us do.

He is ozzing with it. Just like all leaders should.

It makes kids feel safe, and I admit; adults too.

Kids know. If you ever want to judge someone's character, watch them when they are around kids. Doesn't matter what age the child is, either. From babies, right on up to age 18. The one of PO that I really liked was when Michelle was holding a baby that was crying, and when she handed the baby off to PO, the baby stopped crying. That right there was a dead give-away that he is indeed a "child whisperer." Thank you for this beautiful OP, sheshe2.

Kids know a fake from real and that's why babies being held by Dubya and Mitt are crying and trying to get away!

Though I realize their differences, I've always been convinced that Bill Moyers (not to mention my own dad) sort of primed me to like and trust this sort of man. I owe much to all of them.
