We have some photos of President Barack Obama speaking at a middle school, where a member of the audience has the word OBAMA shaved in his hair.

I was just thinking… (I know, it usually takes me this long to think of something; probably related to the meds…) Are we sure this is token of appreciation from the kid? I mean, this looks like a good idea to make sure your kid doesn’t get lost, like when you put your name on property
