Scenes from the White House
President Barack Obama bends over so the son of a White House staff member can pat his head during a family visit to the Oval Office May 8, 2009. The youngster wanted to see if the President's haircut felt like his own. (Official White House Photo by Pete Souza).

Our President bows to no one!
He is a child appeaser!
Wonderful picture of the child touching the President's hair. It's wonderful to have such down to earth and normal people living in the White House. You make me very proud that I voted for you Mr. President.
OH NO! Not our President bowing to another head of state again! And a child, no less!!! Can't wait to hear Rush and Gingrich, et al, take him to task for this one.
In history , every powerful and successful leader shows some humility to others irrespective of their status.
I think president Obama is one.
May be the Republicans can make another juvenile ad portraying him as bowing to a little kid.
How good it is to see something so endearing coming out of the oval office. We get way too much of the otherwise.
Your Messiah is also hiding his college records which MUST show he entered school as a foreign student. Why else would he be paying his lawyers to fight their release.
Wake up people – get off the hope dope and do some research. No, I am not an idiot as many below are saying. I am not a sheeple…
That photo is so cute – we need to be casual from time to time and maintain a little positive direction.
How cute. I am not a fan of the president's but he is very personable.
I guess we'll hear complaints from the right that Obama bowed to this guy now?
I like my president
t
did obama remove his tubin first?
We have the coolest president
Jr has my vote! Mom and Dad, Jr is with the Press!
