"God bless you Daddy!"

During the 1957, Little Rock, Arkansas problems with integrating the high school there, Louis Armstrong, a genius trumpet player with a suspicious fifth grade black education, got so upset at watching the treatment of the black girls and boys trying to attend the high school, that he "blew-up" in an interview with a cub reporter for the local paper. He was so emotional (knowing what he had been through all of his life)that he called the Governor some really bad names, and said that the President (Eisenhower) basically had no interest, since he had just seen the governor shortly before he ordered the police to run the blacks off.

The story made the national newspapers, and well known newscasters of the day!

Shortly there after "Ike" ordered the National Guard to escort the students into the school.

Then, "Satchmo" sent the President a telegram saying basically, "God bless you, Daddy. If you decide to walk in with the kids, I'll will be glad to go with you!"

You can make of this what you will, but it has more meaning than what Obama has accomplished, at least to this point.
