Compassionate Democrat: Obama comforts crying student

By GottaLaff

Now this is what I call genuine compassion. In this video, Obama comforts a student, for real, not just for the cameras. The touching part starts at about 5:15.

Things got emotional during Sen. Barack Obama’s visit to a Michigan community college Tuesday.

Obama met individually with student Marilyn Pace, who is studying dental hygiene, and her financial aid counselor, Marcus McGrew, before speaking with a group of students at Wayne Community College in Taylor, Michigan.

Pace broke down in front of Obama and began crying after explaining the financial stresses she is facing while trying to get her education, help take care of her disabled father, and cope with the costs of commuting to school with the high price of gasoline.

Hey, he may not be a Compassionate Conservative like George Katrina Bush, but then again, who is? The answer: Thankfully, nobody.
