A photograph of a young boy looking up at President Obama has been deemed a perfect illustration of how inspirational the first black President has been on black kids by activist Michael Skolnik.
Taking to Twitter the entrepreneur said: “We'll never truly be able to measure the impact that President Barack Obama has had on our children.”
We'll never truly be able to measure the impact that President @BarackObama has had on our children.

Admitting that he was “feeling a little nostalgic”, Michael then asked his followers to post their favourite pictures or videos of the President with kids using the hashtag #ObamaAndKids.
I’m feeling a little nostalgic this morning! Tweet me your favorite pics/videos of Obama with kids and I will RT my favorites. #ObamaAndKids

Some serious, some funny, the photos show exactly why Barack Obama was loved by many.

And we have to agree with Erin - we also need to see more of these adorable pictures!
Can we get an #ObamaAndKids coffee table book? Proceeds to a worthy cause? I need that kind of joy in my life. @POTUS @MichaelSkolnik
