      A very sweet first family. The look and love of their children in their eyes. The children feel a part of their fathers success. What could be more inspiring for a child. They have carried their children along all the way.

      I wish them Gods Divine protection and a new baby in the White house which hasn't recorded any for years. Come on Mitchelle you can do it baby.

      Most amazing first family EVER.

      What a wonderful and blessed looking family! They were made for the White House and will be just fine. We prayed for them today at the 101st Holy Convocation of the Churches of God In Christ in Memphis Tennessee. Today was women's day. Also, I worked the grass roots effort in my neighborhood of Richmond Heights, Florida and I am so glad that I made that sacrifice to do so. As a black woman I am so very, very proud of the Obamas and I am also very very proud of America.
