1. He loves the kids, and they know it. Great photo! n/t

2. He seems so relaxed and at ease here.

I'm sure he'll be back for a longer visit after his term is up. It seems that, like Jimmy Carter, Obama has fallen in love with our state.

5. Those kids will tell their grandchildren

about the day they got a hug from the President of the United States.

Their lives will be better because of that moment.

7. Alaska Native kids are so cute,

especially in their traditional dress. I always want to pinch their chubby little cheeks.

8. The Truth

There is a warmth and sincerity on this man's face whenever I see him with children. He has the soul of a good person.

14. No, I wasn't out there.

Let me see if I can find the attribution. I saw it shared several places on Facebook.

10. We have an awesome President

I think he should be a middle school gym teacher / school principal after he is
done w/the White House because in his heart he is just a big kid. He would get
the basketballs out and have a big smile on his face.

15. Dillingham . . .

Dillingham is the home of Todd Palin's alleged commercial fishing operation. As I recall, it was the site of at least one episode of Sarah Palin's reality show about Alaska.

And President Obama walked up and took the place by storm while Sarah sits and sulks!!!

YEEEEEEHAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

16. I so love this! This is what its really all about!

Watch President Obama dance with the children!

21. I love the class photos!

With his and the kid's big grins, he always looks like E.T. in Elliot's closet with all the toys.

That is a whole bunch of cute kiddos! Love their headgear.

22. It's traditional Yup'ik head gear,

plus the little kuspuks they're wearing. They're so cute.
