Kids See Obama, Go Crazy In Philly (VIDEO)

As Obama was leaving Philadelphia, kids from Friends Select, a Quaker school across the street from his hotel, gathered at the gates.

An agent stood near the kids, who after about 15 minutes of waiting started chanting "Obama! Obama!"

When he came out of the hotel Obama crossed the street wearing a big grin. He shook hands and chatted with the kids for about a minute, smiling the whole time.

The kids jumped up and down and cheered. He shook a few hands through the bars of the gate.

This is amazing, I have never seen a political leader that the kids have embraced so much.
JFK never got kids to jump up and down like Obama.
Something is going on. How does he reach these kids?
Its a very good sign.

I think of my kids when I see this. They would scream just like that.
Our children will have a president they can truly look up to and be proud of.

Children are the best judges of character.­...

Aww.

the headline should be: "kids see obama and go apeshit"

Yes, I agree with "Out of the mouths of babes." So good seeing children getting excited about a leader. You can't fool kids, because their innocence sees through to what the reality is, and they sense trust and goodness.

What a wonderful season to pollinate the roses. Children say it the best they say if from the heart.

So heartening! Wasn't is just last week that another group of children were going nuts for Obama?

OMG. This is why I worked so hard to help Obama. For future generations. To stop the NeoCons and keep them away from our kids. To give our children someone to look up to again. "American President" is respected again, finally.

Pretty Cool!
I remember a scene a few years back when a certain "President" was attempting to read a group of schoolkids a book. The camera scanned to room and all the kids looked like they had been locked in a room with a child molester.

I think you are probably exxagerrating a bit but damn if that visual is not hilarious.­..every time I see that certain 'president' i want to do a Lucy and Charlie Brown on him

Out of the mouths of babes. Wonderful!

This is such a great clip. I wish it were longer. Just so sweet. I love it.

This was too cute, and that just goes to show that if you don't cloud kid's minds they will deal with people on their on merit.
