President Obama Speaks With Tagg Romney Following Debate

http://livewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/entry/obama-speaks-with-tagg-romney-after-debate-video

President Obama had a brief word with Tagg Romney, one of Mitt Romney's sons, while still on stage following the third and final presidential debate on Monday night in Boca Raton, Florida.

Tagg Romney previously joked that he felt like he wanted to "take a swing" at Obama during particularly heated exchanges with Mitt Romney at the second presidential debate.

The exchange was not picked up by any microphones, however you can see the video below:

The Romney's flooded the stage with their entire extended family, cousins, uncles, fugitives from the Osmond family. Seriously, wtf?

What was her concern - did she think he was going to leave her?

I wish this had the part previous to this. The little grandson in blue/white checkered shirt talked for a while with Obama when they first gathered & seemed very interested. Later when he is given to his Grandpa Mitt (who appears to not have held too many grandsons before), it looks like the little guy is reaching out to Obama to have him hold him. We kept replaying the whole part with the families. I thought it was really funny. At one point Obama put his finger to his lips like "Shhh, I don't think you're supposed to say that!" As this clip starts they are whisking the little guy away. Check out the whole scene. Would love to know what was being said.
