These are literally the most endearing images of any American president I have ever seen. The campaign to discredit eminently normal things as weird already failed. I’m perfectly fine with liberals continuing it because it helps us win but it’s bizarre that they are so dedicated to it in view of how disastrous it’s been for them.
The second most endearing image is that of Obama letting a little black boy touch his hair. I place it second because Obama didn’t spend much time with the boy. It was a photo-op, not a relationship. But still a mega touching photo-op.
If you see one of the images as endearing and iconic and another as weird, you are getting infected with partisanship and need to step away from the news cycle for a bit. If you are indifferent to both, that’s fine, not everybody is into visual culture. I’m not much into it myself.
