Sent. Barack Obama made a surprise appearance tonight at the Democratic National Convention - via video from a St. Louis home - after his wife's headline speech at the Pepsi Center.Sasha Obama, on stage with her sister and her mother, Michelle Obama, took the opportunity to speak with her dad, saying, "Hi, Daddy!" to the giant video screen.
And after Obama said he was with the Gerardo family in St. Louis, she quickly piped up, "Hi, Gerardo family!"
When Barack Obama asked Sasha how she thought her mother's speech was, the little girl said, "I think she did good."
"I think so, too," Barack Obama said. The father and his girls then exchanged I love yous, and he said he'd see them on Thursday.
Right when most of us were becoming convinced that Michelle Obama had delivered a speech that could not be one upped by anybody, her youngest daughter came out on stage and stole America's heart with a few short sentences.
I was moved by Michelle Obama's words to be sure, but the Obama who may have secured Barack's ascension to the White House is very likely to be little Sasha.
Could not agree with you more. Those girls and the love that showed through with the family was incredible. It captured so much, and the excitement in their voices just made it that much more special.

ReplyDeleteClearly anonymous has not spent a great deal of time trying to get young children to do what they want them to, when they want them to.
ReplyDeleteThey more then likely walked the children through when they were supposed to join Mommy on stage, and where they were supposed to stand, but NOBODY could have scripted that sweet and endearing exchange between Sasha and her father.
