The caption for this picture reads,
“President Barack Obama bends over so the son of a White House staff member can pat his head during a family visit to the Oval Office May 8, 2009. The youngster wanted to see if the President’s haircut felt like his own. (Official White House Photo by Pete Souza)”
If there was every any doubt of the impact of an African American man as President, watching this kid confirm that “yes he has hair just like mine” should put an end to any sort of doubt.
And the picture is just cute as hell.
I do LOVE this photo. I’m a big fan of candid photos…well, as candid as they can be since Prez O has cameras following him around 24/7.
