Obama shared a humbling message to the crowd: 'I just want to say thank you to all of you guys, we had a chance to talk to some of the wonderful kids and their families.

'At a time that obviously is tough for folks, as a dad of two girls, you know, I can only imagine. 

'In that situation, to have nurses and staff and doctors and people who are caring for them, and looking after them, and listening to them and just there for them, and holding their hand... that's the most important thing there is.'

He added: 'What a great reminder of what the holiday spirit is supposed to be about.'

The former Democratic president made his rounds through the hospital while carrying a sack of toys, including remote-control cars, Hot Wheels sets, nail polish, jigsaw puzzles and more. 

Obama brought tears of joy to one little girl when he stepped foot into her hospital room.

He danced for her and the girl was seen covering her mouth in shock. When Obama wrapped his arms around the child, she broke down in tears. 

Obama was pictured as he hand-delivered gifts to others - including a girl wearing a nasendoscope and smiling little boys.

He later wrote on Twitter: 'Merry Christmas and happy holidays to the extraordinary kids, families, and staff at Children’s National. And thanks for humoring me as your stand-in Santa.'

Kurt Newman, chief executive and president of Children’s National Health System, told the Washington Post the kids 'will be talking about [the visit] for years to come.'

Newman said: 'At such a busy time of year, when no one wants to be in the hospital, his natural warmth lifted the spirits of those kids, their parents and of each staff member he met along the way.'

The starstruck crew cheered and shouted in excitement and snapped photos with their phones

'He had the chance to spend some time with parents and siblings of kids who are spending the holidays in the hospital, and he also recorded a short message for the hospital’s internal TV system, wishing all the patients he couldn’t visit today a wonderful holiday season.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
