I hope he/she has no memory of that encounter.

Poor child!

A pic does say 1,000 words

Always seems to be returning the kid. By the time the photographer realizes mitt has a kid, mitt is already handing the kid back!

..oh, never mind. I see it was posted here.

McCain or Mittens never would have gotten this photo!

Damn! Caught me off guard with that one!

Can't help noticing the wonder that seems evident within this little bitty girl's mind - "is this a daddy made of chocolate?"

In EVERY way a very sweet photo! I LOVE all the photos of President Obama with little kids and babies. He still seems to have a sense of child-like wonder within him. He seems to have kept that connection - to that sense of wonder, unlike what I've seen in the faces of his many challengers. I NEVER have seen mccain, bush, cheney, romney, or any of 'em, relating to little kids and babies the way he does. In many ways, he seems to tap into his own inner little-bitty-kid whenever he encounters them. There's just this little spark of wide-eyed innocence and new, young, wonder and playfulness that Barack Obama brings to any close-up encounter with some little kid or baby. Or at least that's how it looks - to me.

Sometimes I just really plain-ol' LOVE this President.

...to me, too. Very genuine.

Glad you're here! But seriously! I think we see the little kid who's still alive and well inside the President of the United States, ever time we see him interacting with little kids and babies. I think they bring it out in him, and that it's so close to the surface that it's easy to reach. So easy, as a matter of fact, that a child could do it. Or a baby. And we have boatloads of photographic evidence that they DO!

They can sense the difference between real and fake.

That's how it seems to me, anyway.

because it turns the occupants' hair white.

The photo is adorable. She thinks he's got a great tan.

who's face she's grabbing for now but in 20 or 30 years bet she has that photo framed and on her living room wall.

I don't think I have ever seen a bad picture of Obama with a baby or with kids. And I'm hard-pressed to think of a good pic with a Republican candidate in the past 20 years.

Bush the Lesser holds it out like he/she is a bomb ready to explode and wants to hand she/he off to someone.

Perfect description

that is indeed framable.

of President Obama with a kid! He just seems to have that natural warmth that kids and animals adore.
