President Barack Obama recently said he does really well "with the zero to eight demographic" on comedian Jerry Seinfeld's latest season of "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee."
"Yeah, they love me — partly because my ears are big, and so I look a little like a cartoon character," he quipped.
And while chief White House photographer Pete Souza has captured plenty of feel-good pictures of America's commander-in-chief visiting with kids, activist Michael Skolnik noted Saturday how inspirational the first black president has been to young black children.
Skolnik then asked for other Twitter users to post their favorite pictures of Obama with children, using the hashtag #ObamaAndKids.
