This is not a political post, we will not wax lyrical about President Barack Obama’s policies, his triumphs or his failures during his tenure as the leader of the United States. Instead, we would like to talk about how personable he is as a human, how he has relentlessly won our hearts with the way he deals with people on a one-to-one basis, and how he is particularly good with kids. He loves them and they love him right back, giving rise to the #ObamaAndKids hashtag that’s got us all in our feelings.
The hashtag started with this beautifully profound picture and tweet:
We'll never truly be able to measure the impact that President @BarackObama has had on our children.

Describing himself as “Entrepreneur, Activist and Storyteller…proud creator of #ObamaAndKids, Michael Skolnik did indeed get the ball rolling, after which came cute tweet after cute tweet of Obama being super awesome with kids.
From funny faces to hugs, fist bumps and cheesy behaviour, the POTUS showed that he was a father, a friend as well as a leader.

As a Tweeter mentioned, the above image is so special because it looks like Obama needed this hug more.
