This photo from the White House Flickr account shows a young boy rubbing President Barack Obama’s head. Reportedly, “The youngster wanted to see if the President’s haircut felt like his own.”
Having a self-identified black man in the White House matters. Yes, it does.

I LOVE this picture!!!

Priceless!!!
This kind of thing makes me cry. Bless his wee little heart!
Beautiful. I love it!
That’s such a powerful picture….amazing.
Aww, this just made my eyes tear up!
oh lord, i’m standing here bawling like a baby.
Such a moving photo– and the racial factors make it even more powerful. Just gives me shivers!
This is beautiful.
What a beautiful, powerful and positive (not to mention tear-provoking!) image.
I love, love, love this.
This picture says it all….yes we did…and yes it matters…and yes….there will be healing….
You go…. Obama and Michelle and America…..
A picture is worth a thousand words
Obama has changed my views on America completely & I am not surprised to see this beautiful image of crossing all boundaries i.e age , power & race.
Oh my, this brought tears to my eyes, too! My son has commented on Obama’s hair looking like his many, many times. Yes, it matters.
What a wonderful picture. My heart is swelling with pride!
This is adorable!
This totally made me cry, too.
Heartfelt beyond words…
