18. For me, photos 3, 4 and 5 are the most moving.
Obama is wholly focused on the little boy carrying the helmet.

Clinton used to say, "I feel your pain." Obama doesn't way it. But you can tell from his eyes, from his body language that he feels the pain of that little boy.

Obama demonstrates genuine compassion and humility in so many ways.

If you think back on the many presidents who have served our countries, over and over, it is those who genuinely feel and demonstrate the most compassion and humility for ordinary people and their ordinary problems who are the most successful and the most loved. Lincoln, Roosevelt, Kennedy -- one day we will remember Obama in the way we remember them -- except that I hope that Obama serves two full terms.

We need a president with compassion, and Obama has it. Think back to 2001-2008. Compare the president in those years with Obama. This Fall, we need to remind voters of the gift that Obama is to our country.

I don't think our country will survive if we get a Republican majority in Congress.
