And yet there it was, a comment from The White House appeared on this very post, signed 'bo' to indicate it came personally from President Barack Obama, himself the father of two daughters.
Calling it "an inspirational story", Obama's comment read: "One of the most fulfilling things that can happen to you as a parent is to see the values you've worked to instill in your kids start to manifest themselves in their actions - and this one really resonated with me."
"I hope this young man never loses his desire to help others. And I'm going to continue doing whatever I can to make this world a place where he and every young person like him can live up to their full potential," the President added.
His comment has so far received over one lakh likes and 3,500 replies, several of which complimented POTUS.
