President Obama weighed in on the Zimmerman/Martin incident recently by exclaiming that Trayvon Martin would look like his own son, if he had a son. Quote:
“If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon,” Obama said. “When I think about this boy, I think about my own kids.”
The world probably has its share of dads of daughters who wished for a son. And in some regimes, particularly China with its one child policy, moms and dads make don't take random chance.
With two daughters and no sons, President Obama is the odd man out at the dinner table. It's sit com territory, and the daughters and mom probably share a bond that never has and never will include Barack. So his wistful longing for a son should invoke some small amount of sympathy.
Sleepless in Midland wants to help. With the tools at PhotoFunia.com we apply Barry's smiling visage from the Whitehouse flickr site, where the wonderful photos of Pete Souza grace the pages, and put the President in a hoodie.
And there, through the wonder of the internet, is Barack Obama's imaginary son, a son with whom he can spend some quality time after he moves out of the White House in early 2013. Just imagine the fun they will have together.
UPDATED 4/3/12. First Lady Michelle Obama suffers the same anxiety but compensates in a different way:
"Bo is wonderful. He is the smartest dog on the planet. He is my son. I have two girls and a boy."
