Those kids are too cute.

[apocalypsos]

The Obama family's activities in the courtyard [giving away food to the needy for Thanksgiving] quickly drew the attention of schoolchildren whose windows overlooked the courtyard. They put up a sign against the glass that read: "We love our prez" and screamed when the president-elect waved to them.

Obama then turned to his wife and suggested they go visit the kids. Secret Service agents, looking surprised, disappeared inside the building to accommodate his request.

Minutes later, hundreds of children were brought down to the school auditorium, and Obama loped onstage as they screamed and cheered.

Awwww. That's awesome.

God, damn, but that is the epitome of coolly played.

"Secret Service agents, raise your hands!"

Thank you for posting this. What a fun way to start the morning. I hope the teachers in that school didn't have much longer before they sent the kids home, 'cause you know nothing was getting done the rest of the day!

More convinced than ever that I backed the right guy.

If ever there was a perfect moment for the "I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of how AWESOME Barack Obama is" caption, that's it.

Probably his first 'spontaneous changing of the Secret Service gameplan' as a friendly, open President-elect.

And what a good one!

I try to keep politics out of my LJ, but the more I see him the more I realize that I really *need* an Obama user pic.

I love that it wasn't planned. He probably made those kids day and gave them something to remember for the rest of their lives.
