Barack Obama cuddled a 7-week-old baby while golfing in Hawaii, and it's the most adorable thing...

....you'll see today






It goes without saying, Chelcie was overwhelmed and over-awed by the moment. Speaking to Because of them we can, she said:

To have the First Black President ever to initiate holding our daughter, let alone kissing her on the forehead, has to be one of the most pivotal moments of any parents life.

For our little girl to be in the hands of a man that is so influential, yet still so humble, and allowing her to experience something many will never get to experience is a blessing from God within itself. It’s just one of those things that’s just indescribable.

She then added:

This memory is one she will listen to for many years to come, as well as have for the rest of her life.

As parents, we plan to share this monumental moment with our daughter through pictures, stories, and instilling in her who exactly he is and was before her time.

These are memories for her all while being able to live in a place Barack Obama calls home, Hawaii. Furthermore, I pray one day my daughter appreciates and understands the magnitude of what she was able to experience.

The former president also revealed to Paisleigh's father Joseph that he loved having daughters:

You can’t beat having daughters!

But since my son is careful not to let his wife's or daughter's face be seen in pictures online, you can only see their interaction with Obama from the back. Pres. Obama's face is clear, but my granddaughter's and DIL's faces are obscured.

What a beautiful gesture from a great man.
And just to make you ill, can you even imagine IQ45 doing something humane like that? (and really, wouldn't you worry about any parent willing to hand a small child over to him!).

Maybe I'm a bit overboard in my absolute worship and adoration of President Obama.

Nah. I'm so glad he got to be President in my lifetime.

Even though there is some kinda monstrosity squatting in the White House now, once upon a time this was our President. I'm still hopeful. Sick to my stomach, but hopeful.

has let two kids die because of his heartless policies.

We have a treasonous heartless illiterate lying idiot in the White House who was apparently "installed" with the help of the Russians and Putin.

And this treasonous heartless illiterate lying idiot in the White House is supported by the GOP congressional members and the republican party as a whole.
