Default Heartwarming Story Behind Boy's Request To Touch Obama's Hair
01:18 GMT, 25 May 2012

A single picture of a young boy touching President Obama’s head in the Oval Office has made its rounds on the internet lately.
It shows a five-year-old boy in a white shirt and red striped tie touching the top of the president’s head, with a curious,
calculating look on his face. But now, the story behind the 'touching' picture has been revealed.



The charming story was first revealed by the New York Times. Little Jacob was joining the rest of his family as his father Carlton,
a former Marine who was departing his White House job after working at the National Security Council.

Once the pictures were taken, the family prepared to leave, but not before Mr Philadelphia’s two sons asked the president one
question apiece. Moments before, the boy, Jacob Philadelphia, had shyly asked the commander-in-chief if his hair was like the
president’s. Jacob spoke, saying in the softest of voices: ‘I want to know if my hair is just like yours.’

The president couldn’t hear, and asked the five-year-old to repeat his question. He then replied: ‘Why don’t you touch it and
see for yourself.’



It was at that moment that the president folded himself at the waist and offered the crown of his head for the little boy to feel.
He encouraged Jacob by saying, ‘Touch it, dude!’ That’s when photographer Mr Souza took the now-iconic picture, which the
Times says has slightly ‘awkward composition.’ After he felt the president’s head, Jacob issued his verdict to the room. ‘Yes, it
does feel the same,’ he concluded.

He told the Times that the picture became an ‘instant favourite’ with the staff, and said: ‘I think people are struck by the
fact that the president of the United States was willing to bend down and let a little boy feel his head.’
