The very popular Facebook page Humans of New York has had public figures and celebrities such as Hilary Clinton and Ellen Degeneres comment on posts in the recent past, but Thursday night was special because of a comment from a certain person who signed himself 'bo.'
A photo of a father and son taken in the city of Tabriz in Iran pulled many a heartstring on those Facebook users who saw it. Among them was POTUS.
It's certainly not every day you get a Facebook notification saying 'The White House and 5,958 others commented on your photo'.

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.
