[SunsetDreams]

Love it!







Iowa State Fair


Obama has the baby special interest vote.

Oh look here he is being lobbied by one in the Oval Office.

[PearliePoo2]

1. He's just a natural with kids, he's like the...

"baby whisperer"!
If President Obama ever held my kid, I'd be crying with joy.

7. The "baby whisperer"

I love it

[Ebadlun]

22. He's been talking to a Republican House for 2 years

He's probably glad of the chance to engage on a more elevated level.

33. zing!

[Autumn]

2. My Granddaughter is captivated by him. He comes on the TV and she stops

whatever she is doing to look and listen to him. When he was first elected she would always say, Look! Rockabama!! Now she has learned how to pronounce his name properly, and that made me sad.

[freshwest]

6. Rockabama is much better! Should be made into a meme!

[SunsetDreams]

11. aww "Rockabama"

That is so cute!

I just found this, lol

Rockabama President of the Nighted States

[Autumn]

13. Too cute. You know, kids just get him.

When he was campaigning in Pueblo and we went down to see him I so wanted to take our Granddaughter but she had such a bad cold so my Daughter said we had better not pick her up to take her.

[SunsetDreams]

16. Yes kids seem to love him

I am so envious that you got to see him. I never have, I would love the opportunity one day.

25. The Nighted States!

Love how momma is teaching her that he's a Democrat and not a Republican!

That's so cute.

[Little Star]

[sufrommich]

[freshwest]

8. Babies love Barack! And that last pic was great. Thanks for the video and pix!

[Tarheel_Dem]

That first clip is hysterical.



Thank you.

[SunsetDreams]

[ProfessionalLeftist]

12. OMG that last one is priceless! n/t

[jillan]

14. I want to add this one that will always be one of my favorites

[img][/img]

I know, he's not a baby, but it just warms my heart.

[SunsetDreams]

15. yes I love that one too

I went and found the story to add to that. It's one of my favorites

When the pictures were taken and the family was about to leave, Mr. Philadelphia told Mr. Obama that his sons each had a question. In interviews, he and his wife, Roseane, said they did not know what the boys would ask…
Jacob spoke first.

“I want to know if my hair is just like yours,” he told Mr. Obama, so quietly that the president asked him to speak again.

Jacob did, and Mr. Obama replied, “Why don’t you touch it and see for yourself?” He lowered his head, level with Jacob, who hesitated.

“Touch it, dude!” Mr. Obama said.

As Jacob patted the presidential crown, Mr. Souza [the White House photographer] snapped.

“So, what do you think?” Mr. Obama asked.

“Yes, it does feel the same,” Jacob said. …A copy of the photo hangs in the Philadelphia family’s living room with several others taken that day. Mr. Philadelphia, now in Afghanistan for the State Department, said: “It’s important for black children to see a black man as president. You can believe that any position is possible to achieve if you see a black person in it.”

17. I've got a friend who has a pic of Obama holding his son. It was from

the "08 campaign. He is soooo proud of this pic, he shows it everywhere.lol

[Hamlette]

19. alright, put together the book, I'll buy it for everyone I know: Obama and kids

honestly, there is money to be made. How can you not smile when looking at these pics.

Can you think of one single image you remember of W with kids? I can't but I can think of several with Obama.

First time in my life I've wanted to be black (except for my long standing desire to come back as a great black blues singer) I wanna be Michelle and be married to Obama not because he's prez but because he loves kids.

[Hamlette]

20. and the absolute best, Obama stops crying baby

[lindysalsagal]

21. That smug look back at Michelle when the baby instantly stops for him!

I'll never understand why people accuse him of being distant. I can read him like a book.

[Hamlette]

24. and I loved her sort of pulling back

and looking incredulous when the baby immediately stops crying. It may be my favorite Obama clip.

[WinstonSmith4740]

28. Another reason to love both of them.

He's SO comfortable with kids, and kids know bullshit when they experience it. And he and Michelle are obviously so comfortable with each other. They have that "something" between them that allows them to goof on each other without one of them getting all bent out of shape.

Ever see the movie "Dave"? (If not, it's a must see!) Remember the opening scene where as soon as they're out of sight of the cameras and reporters, the president drops the dog's leash and he and the first lady go in different directions? Somehow I picture that's Mitt and Ann as soon as the cameras are turned off. He just strikes me as a person who is so impressed with his own station in life, that everyone else is just there for him to use as he wishes.

[Island Blue]

23. When Mitt walks a rope line

he has a nanny in tow just in case there are babies or small children to be handled.

[central scrutinizer]

34. he has his valet stay close with hand sanitizer on a sterling silver platter

[treestar]

26. That baby in the first one sure is happy!

He likes Obama right off!

[ProSense]

29. That clip is great

What a big smile.

OK, it's your fault baby is in the title of my recent post.

Love the Babies for Obama.

[Mad_Dem_X]

30. I just love videos & pictures like these!

It shows how good our president is with children. So heart-warming.

[Swede Atlanta]

31. The difference with RMoney is palpable....

I suggest this is because Obama actually took care of his beautiful daughters from their earliest days. He was there when they cried, didn't sleep, etc.

Whereas, I can assume that RMoney went to bed in his cushy bed and the Nanny took care of the children. I doubt Ann actually got out of bed when one of the boys cried. I could be wrong but this is the way it worked with the English aristocracy and I wouldn't be surprised if this isn't what happened in RMoney's life.

Obama is natural and real. RMoney is stilted and contrived.

32. As a retired teacher of young elementary students

...you can't fake it with the little ones. He's the real deal. Thank you for the photos.
