I remember watching video during Clinton’s term of school children taking a tour, I believe of the White House during the holiday season. A young African-American girl’s hair brushed a lit candle causing it to smolder. Mr. Clinton had come in to visit the group and using his bare hands extinguished the smoke coming from the girl’s head. It seemed to me a parent’s gut reaction to a small child–any child–in distress. The image always stayed with me as a reminder of the common bond between parents.
