Hugs All Around

The following Politico video gives us the most wonderful hugfest, launched by First Lady Michelle Obama at Mary's Center, a provider of human services to the most vulnerable families in the Washington D.C. area.

Michelle praised the center’s efforts, drawing the nation's attention to a totally unglamorous subject:

“Community health centers play an important role in providing for the health and well-being of millions of kids and families across the country and Mary’s Center has played a particularly important role for Washington’s Hispanic community.  At a time when so many families are struggling financially, places like Mary’s Center end up doing even more, and I’m honored to be here today to learn about this incredible organization that cares for so many of our new neighbors in the DC community.”

After speaking, the First Lady read “Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?” to the center's young ones, and it's here that Michelle Obama was captivating.

There's the media-driven, photo op hug . . . and then there's real, genuine, bona fide hug. The video gives us a delightfully warm, engaging look at a woman who is liberal in her affection for others, especially children.

I'm not sure we've ever seen a more engaging hugfest from any First Lady. Simply beautiful! A
