Photo: I can assure you, I would have NEVER done this to Ronald Reagan
... and neither would you. I wouldn't have even done this to Carter and I thought he was a pretty ok dude. (when I was seven)

President Barack Obama greets members of the Byrd family at the West Virginia State Capitol in Charleston, W.Va., July 2, 2010. The President and Vice President Joe Biden attended the memorial service for Sen. Robert Byrd, who died June 28, 2010. (Official White House Photo by Pete Souza)

33. Yes, and this kid looks like she didn't have to be urged to grab him around the waist
and hug him! It's amazing the way kids love him...do you think it's his smile?

35. I think, as children, they sense he is a kind, gentle person who...
genuinely enjoys being with them and cares about them and so they want to be near him, around him. That wonderful smile certainly helps for sure.

It says something about a man when he is approachable to little children. But I would have hugged President Carter, too... ;)

12. It just seems so natural with him, doesn't it? I agree with you, by the way --
I would have been terrified. Obama connects with kids -- you see it everywhere he goes.

Edited on Fri Jul-16-10 11:54 PM by CoffeeCat
...exactly how they feel about President Obama.

It's so nice to have a reasonable, decent man in the White House.

Kids are very pure and honest and they know a good person and who isn't.

38. Reagan wouldn't have let you. He hated his own children.
He and Nancy thought they were the new American monarchy and you know monarchs don't touch children.

42. The two older ones, definitely.
The sperm that made Ron Jr. was just about the only good thing that ever came out of Reagan.

40. Children seem to be naturally drawn to Obama.
I think that says a great deal about him on a personal level.

47. True, but I think she was annoyed by his arm on her shoulder.
That is the weirdest way to look at someone. Why would you place your arm that way? When pressure is placed that way it hurts.

44. In all honesty. I would have. I would have been that girls age during Reagan.
And my mum was a big time Republican. And Reagan was her idol.
