The caption made me chuckle.

Poor baby!

1. "Excuse me, 911, a dingo's about to eat my baby!" nt

[HappyMe]

2. Too bad it didn't spit up

all over him.

[Plaid Adder]

3. So who's more desperately uncomfortable here: Romney, or the baby? n/t

13. The mother with her arms stretched in desperation!

[struggle4progress]

4. OMG it's a Republican baby-plucking party!

[PATXgirl]

5. I love the reaching arms of the mom...give me back my baby!! She is not a prop!

[yellowcanine]

9. Hello 911? Some creepy guy is holding my baby up in the air.

6. Notice the poor mothers arms....

reaching out to get her poor baby back to the safety of her arms...how scary.

[Plaid Adder]

7. Why do politicians kiss babies anyway?

Seriously...I am baffled by this bit of electoral ritual. Hello, candidate! Here's my baby! What?

8. Now, if I were an evil person with mad Photoshop skillz,

I'd put Romney and that baby in a different background to make it look like the baby was about to be ritually sacrificed.

But I don't have mad Photoshop skillz.

10. This will be easy to strap on my car!!

11. He always seems to hold up babies as he would a dog

He doesn't want them touching his body and he holds them at arm's length. I wonder if he's ever put a baby on the roof of his car.

[faithfulcitizen]

14. OMG, that is so awkward! He has how many kids + grandkids and he can't hold a baby?!

women, that is all you need to know about him!

[Plaid Adder]

15. Is he kissing a baby or tossing a caber? n/t

[RichGirl]

12. Obama holds babies close...

...he hugs kids. Romney is holding that baby as far away as possible. Pretty obvious he's just using it to show he too can hold babies.

16. From motherfucker to baby-plucker. nt

[Arugula Latte]

17. That one was ready to be harvested.

[RoccoR5955]

18. That's his lunch. n/t

[Buns_of_Fire]

19. ...and the incessant rhythm of the drums reaches a crescendo while his followers

hypnotically chant "ROM-NEY! ROM-NEY!" and his lower jaw slowly unhinges to accept the latest offering...

[leftyohiolib]

20. "oh my ha-ha what's this ha-ha-ha is this a baby? well where do you work little fella? how's your

companies debt ratio? ha-ha does it have a fully funded pension? ha-ha i could probably get 6 dollars a pound for you. ha-haha"

[4_TN_TITANS]

21. "We shall sacrifice this one to the conservative Gods"...

[Javaman]

22. "this will go well with the mashed potatoes tonight!" nt

[fugop]

23. Anybody read "The Dead Zone"?

Remember Greg Stillson holding up the kid between himself and our hero, who was trying to assassinate the guy before he became president and destroyed the world?

Yea. Romney has reminded me of Stillson from the beginning.

24. Romney catches baby as it falls from Heaven!

Kind of like this:
