    Drawing Obama, Part 2

    More from our feature on kids' drawings of the commander-in-chief:

    XX Factor reader Jaclyn Young sent in this Inauguration Day card of President Obama drawn by her 7-year-old nephew, Shane. She called Shane to thank him for his card, with "President Obama in what looks like a pink bathing suit on the cover." His response: "Oh yeah, the pink bikini. I had that idea first. If anyone else says they had the idea first, they are lying."

     

    Another reader, Mardi Pinkney, submitted this work by her godson, Dominic Williams-Dzirasa, age 7. When Dominic learned of Obama's victory, he said, "You mean there has NEVER been a brown President...EVER?  That's just strange!" He drew this to celebrate the occasion.

     

    And this one came from a friend of mine, Ilana Lorge, who teaches third grade in Singapore. It's by one of her students, Alex Soikkeli.
