Watch out, Santa: Former president Barack Obama is coming for your sleigh. With a fluffy red cap and a bulging bag slung over his shoulder, Obama delivered presents (and more than a few gasps) to the young patients at Children’s National hospital in Northwest Washington on Wednesday. “I know they will be talking about it for years to come,” said Kurt Newman, chief executive and president of Children’s National Health System. (Courtesy of the Personal Office of President Barack Obama) (Chuck Kennedy)Obama Claus also dropped by individual patient rooms for one-on-one visits with children and their parents. Only a handful of the Children’s National staff knew that the president was coming to town, but word spread quickly during the 90-minute visit.
