That is so sweet! I love that she thought it was due to her wearing her Obama shirt the day of the election that he won.

This is super precious!! Make-a-wish is such a great organization they do such amazing things. And I think it is so great that they all worked together to make that little girl's wish come true.

AWEEE!! How touching! Hearing stories like this are amazing. Make-a-Wish is such a great program. Obama taking time out of his life to meet with a young girl and her family is absolutely amazing. Thanks for sharing!

This is so cute! It's really cool that Make-A-Wish did this. This would definitely be a great way to make a huge positive impact on someone's life.

Very touching. I think it's great that Janiya is taking an interest in politics at such a young age. It's very cool that she got to meet her hero as well.

That is just so amazing and heartwarming. I like how the make-a-wish foundation tried to make her wish for something else, but in the end she actually got to meet him! This is sooo cool!

That's really cool that a four year old girls wish was to meet the President even now I would probably wish for something different!!! But this story gives the me hope that the younger generation will care more about politics.

The Make a wish foundation is probably my favorite charitable cause. This is a really nice and heartwarming story.

She is such a cute little girl and its very sweet that her wish for make-a-wish was to meet the president especially at the age of 8!

This picture is absolutely genuine, and I think that's what makes it so heart warming. Thanks for sharing Mr. Carlisle!

Wow! Make-a-wish is such an amazing program and it's so cool they were able to reach even the president with their charity. Also very cool how interested she was in politics at SUCH a young age, most kids her age would want to see Disneyland, not the president! Thanks for posting this touching story :)

What a lovely story! It's great to see a kid so happy and with such a sweet wish.

I wouldn't call this being interested in politics, I would call this wanting to know how your country works. I had a research project on non-profits in Health, and Make-a-Wish is a great organization.

That is very sweet. It's great that make a wish did this for her even though they had doubts about it.
9:06 PM
This whole picture is just heart warming how she is so overjoyed just being around President Obama. I think Make-a-wish is a great cause to make childrens dream come true.

Thanks for sharing this story Mr. Carlisle, it was very inspiring for the little girl and future generations who should have an interest in politics. Thanks to the Make-a-wish foundation too.
