The President TAKES hugs. He RECEIVES hugs. That lovely woman is hugging him right back, and hanging on.

Can you imagine Mittens letting someone hang on to him that way, or even anyone wanting to embrace him?

Oh, hell, no!

And you see it in dozens of pictures in nearly every single place where Obama and Michelle interact with the public.

Maybe that's the crucial difference. The Obama's actually interact with the public, whereas the Romneys remain supercilious with them.

They are ranting about his 'political exploitation' of the shooting.
BUT when Bush had all the 9/11 widows on display,
it was patriotic and kind.

And, I can't imagine him letting anyone hug him like that. Ditto for the Rombot.

you can't possibly fake this for this long.

Barack Obama is a good man and is doing the best he can.

I am very grateful for his dedication and strength.
