Gratuitous Obama picture

Sat Aug 23rd 2008 by abagond

I love this picture. I saw it on Something Within. It shows Barack Obama with his ten-year-old daughter, Malia:

This picture was taken on July 4th 2008, the day Malia turned ten. They are at a Independence Day parade in Butte, Montana.

That book that Malia is reading, by the way, is “Outside Beauty” by Cynthia Kadohata. What Barack Obama is reading (not pictured) is “The Last Campaign: Robert F. Kennedy and 82 Days That Inspired America” by Thurston Clarke (so says MSNBC).

I love it! She looks so much like her mother and has such a sweet face.

This photograph – a black man bonding with his daughter while wearing a wedding ring – is what we need to see more of!

Yeah, pretty cool. I really hope he wins. He’s like a breath of fresh air compared to his rival!

Great pic!
I’ve seen others where they’re walking together and she seems to be nearly as tall as him!

Just did a post on Obama after watching the weekly talk shows.

Back to editing, but though you might want to check it out.

Thembi:

I agree; she does look like her mother–facial feature wise.

I think that picture speaks volumes. Where I’m from, you just don’t see too much of that, but when you do, it could warm any heart.

I agree. I love the father/daughter thing going on in the picture. I did not notice the wedding ring (thanks, Thembi), but makes it even better.
