The Former Pres Inspired The Ailing Youth For Christmas

Barack Obama brought all the holiday cheer in Washington, D.C. when he visited the Children’s National Hospital on Wednesday.

The former president came dressed in a Santa hat with a bag full of toys swung across his shoulder.

It was magical.

Obama greeted patients inside their rooms and in some of the facility’s playrooms, passing out holiday presents that he and his staff collected, according to ABC News.

“Wherever the family is, wherever the people you love are, that’s the whole thing,” Barack told one patient who was spending the holidays in the hospital.
