New photo of the President and his lovely family.

You know some things just cannot be faked.

And the affection and closeness shared by this family is one of them.

In my personal opinion that speaks volumes about this President's character.

Let's do a little comparison shall we?

The Perry's
The Bachmann's
The Paul family
This was literally the best picture of the Santoum family that I could find. And yeah, I would cry if I was Rick Santorum's daughter too.
The Duggars..uh..I mean Romney's
Who did I leave out? Oh yeah.

The Huntsman family

Okay so what do you think? Believe it or not, I did NOT pick the worst pictures of these political families. And in fact I think that many of them, like Romney's, Huntsman's, and Ron Paul's look very happy and close knit.

But no matter WHAT you think of them, you have to admit that they all look far more well adjusted than THIS family ever did.


 (With the possible exception of the Bachmann family of course.)

    I would prefer to be a kind and positive person whenever possible, but (HOLY SHIT) those bacmann people look scary as hell ... A lot like that evil chucky doll, or some psycho clown serial killer in a bad B movie.

    Too bad for them that the eyes really are the window to the soul. Yikes!

    OK, I'm going to say it. I think on the face of it all of these family photos look great. Even the Palins. If I didn't know anything about any of the Palin family members, I would think the photo is of just another nice-looking family. The Obamas do appear to be an extremely well-adjusted, loving, happy family. I love having them in the White House and hope they remain there for another five years. But I think it's going a little too far to start comparing family photos of all of the prospective candidates. Maybe stick to comparing the issues, behaviors and values that the prospective candidates themselves represent.

    Doesn't Todd know how to work the self timer mechanism so he can be in the picture? He can take the TV pictures for Sarah to appear on Fox. Or does he? Couldn't they just photoshop him in the background and pretend that he is still part of the family?

    I think that the photo of Marcus pretty much settles that question, too, also.

    The Santorum picture is the saddest one of all. Mrs Rick looks like she's ready to get her teeth drilled, and the kids are just so unhappy. Reminds me of many "Quivering" families I've known of

    The Palin kids are trying to present a brave front, but they all know the depth of anger and disfunction that surrounds their Mom and her behavior. I feel sad for those kids, having such awful examples set for them.

    Plus the Bachmanns are already in a gay marriage. Ha, so much for the tea ballot initiative re: marriage in Minnesota in 2012.

    Yet I won't judge Marcus and Michele. If he's happily married to an alpha dominatrix, well, good for him, good for her, good for them.

    Now if they would allow for gay marriages for the rest of us Minnesotans, it'd be great. Rather than them hogging it for just some people in the tea taliban.

    Most of the families have color coordinated their clothes for the photoshoot; the Bachmanns in yellow, the Huntsmans in dark red for example, but the Palin's clothes are a mix of red, pink, orange and purple. Clashing colors to match their family's clashing personalities I guess.

The portrait of the Obamas is lovely and initmate without involving the children of other candidates. It's an extreme ad hominem attack and adds nothing to the debate about the issues.

    The one thing I will say is that I don't see anything to quibble about with the Romney family photograph.

Which mostly fits my overall perception is that ol' Mitt is the best of a very sorry lot this year, and that his real problem is not being crazy enough for the core Peerublican demographic, let alone the Teabagger kooks.

    Where is the happy family photo of the Cains?

    Are either of Bachmann's sons gay? Is Perry's son gay? Is Santorum's son gay? Normally not an issue, but when you compare the anti-gay venom coming out of their parents mouths to the photos of their sons, may gaydar goes up and it leaves me asking lots of questions. What if their parents' screeds are merely a projection of what they are unable to control within their own families??

    And yes, that is the best Obama family photo ever. There is no way to fake the degree of peace and contentment on each of their faces. It is not exterior smiles, it is the interior happiness that glows outward, something that can not be staged.

    Mrs. Perry and Mrs. Santorum, by contrast, exude the stress and internal unhappiness that each presumably feels. Each person in both photos (Perry and Santorum) seems to be saying, through body language, 'I am stuck in this relationship'.

    5:15 am. I don't agree that Romney is the best of the bunch of GOP candidates thus far. He's just like the rest of them. Right now he's trying to equate his missionary stint in France in 1967-68 with what US soldiers experienced in Vietnam, which says a lot, and it's all negative, about Romney to me. He "served his church" while US soldiers served their country. France was not a third world country drowning in a dreadful war in that time period. (See "theobamadiary" today.) I spent the same two years in Paris as an exchange student - wonderful experience and certainly adequate plumbing!

    Please! Are you dense or something? Where have you gotten the impression that the Obama family has clashing personalities? Do you know why the majority of people who frequent this blog have the opinions they have of Sarah Palin and her family? Because she has given them reason to! I've never heard Sasha or Malia call each other inappropriate nicknames (Piper Diaper, for example) or shove each other's faces in a birthday cake on national tv. Have there been stories about infidelity within the Obama marriage? Because I have yet to hear one. And since President Obama has just come out saying that neither of his daughters will be getting a Facebook account, you can count on them not having a homophobic outburst in public like Willow. I could keep going on, if you'd like, but that wouldn't look too well for you or your girl Sarah Palin. So sad that Sarah Palin doesn't know what the purpose of a family is, to support each other and lift each other up, not berate them and forsaken them in their time of need, as she repeatedly does with her children. She has no family values!

  70. To be honest, with the exception of the Bachmanns & Santorums, the GOP candidates families look pretty good. The Perry kids clearly are closer to their Dad than their Mom who looks uncomfortable in her own family photo and doesn't know what to do with her hands so she's just weirdly wrapping them around each other. The Huntsmans were my favourite because it was the one that looked the most genuine out of the GOP pack. The way Jon Huntsman and his wife are leaning towards each other as they hold hands is great body language. Plus the diversity in their family is wonderful.

    The Palins? Well....where's Todd? Who takes a family photo without the Father? Especially for a reality show? None of the kids are leaning in or touching Palin except Trig who had to sit in her lap. Track looks like he's 3 seconds from leaving the room and can't wait any longer.

    The Palin photo was used for an article in Parade magazine on Mother's Day weekend. The article reported Palin saying she did all the housework, laundry, playdates, cares for Trig and Tripp, makes their bottles. SOS..she hunts their food, cooks it, no babysitters either per Palin. She did this in front of the reporter juggling two blackberries. Palin's mythological self.

    This pic was by a pro, no Todd and appears to promote they are regular folk... Just finishing laundry....yard work not like them elites who would dress up, put thought into a cohesive coordinated family photo for major publication.

    Gryphen, I think it's pretty unkind to make a smartass remark about a special needs girl who doesn't have the chance of a normal life-span. Say what you will about Santorum, but leave their youngest daughter out of it.

    @8:49 PM:

    I just read something about Rick Santorum's sick, and youngest daughter the other day. In the article, it said she was two years old. Either the girl who is crying in the picture is a different daughter, or that's a really big two-year old.

    7:06-- I don't think it's weird. Keeping the dead infant for more than over night is weird. Grief after the loss of a baby is hard. The kids saw Mom pregnant, and then no baby? I think they were hurting, brought him home so the kids could settle into acceptance, "he was born and died," and they wouldn't be expecting him to show up. No doubt Mrs. S. was having issues hormonally. I doubt that she slept that night.

    I've met Huntsman's wife and she is really a bimbo. She was a keynote speaker at a women's conference, where the majority of women in attendance were single mothers.

    Mary Kate was saying how she didn't know anything about running a household when she first got married, and how Jon assigned the responsibility to her to manage their checkbook - and how that was overwhelming to her.

    Then she talked about how she met a single mother once (seriously she met ONE single mother)and how she thought they might not have anything in common since Mary Kate has values such as getting married and raising children with a male role model and a female role model and how could anyone manage without the other role model? Mary Kate said she was pleasantly surprise to learn that the single mother had a lot in common with her (no horns or pitchfork in her hands) and how she admired how well the mother was doing it all on her own, and that she thought the single mother was a "good" person and she wishes that the woman will be able to find a suitable husband so she could focus on the female part of her role.

    Also, Mary Kate mentioned that it was her husband's decision to adopt the two foreign children. That sounded odd to me. It didn't seem that she had maternal attachment to the girls, and emphasized how the adopted children were bonded to the older daughter (an adult)and saw (who would be her sister) as a surrogate mother figure.

    That makes me wonder if Huntsman adopted for his political image rather than a decision made between he and his wife.

    Palin and her family lack decorum. Carl Rove nailed it she lacks gravitas. Whether at home, work, faux family vacation, traveling abroad the Palins exhibit a void of both.

    Worse they ridicule people who have what they do not posess. White trash people...

    When was that Palin picture taken? Tripp/Trig look like it might have been one from last year - or even a year before that! (OTOH, Piper sure seems BIG...)
    Also, too, isn't it before Bri$tol got her new mask on?
    Track looks menacing back there.
    Where is Toad?

    What's funny is, the Palins are probably the strongest of all of them. I'd be interested to know if the others see all their family members every single day.

    Why do you feel sorry for Trig and Tripp? They couldn't be part of a more loving family. At least his family doesn't make jokes at special needs kids (olympics)

    That was from the mothers day article in parade. It was Sarah-centric. Todd was in another picture in the article.

    So sad that Sarah Palin doesn't know what the purpose of a family is, to support each other and lift each other up, not berate them and forsaken them in their time of need, as she repeatedly does with her children. She has no family values!

    ----

    Who has been berated or forsaken? What are you talking about? There aren't more supportive family members then her children. They defend one another against hateful remarks. They are a family. All families are unique. How often do you think all those other public figures see their families - extended and immediate? Because the Palins see each other DAILY.

    And yes, there have been tabloid stories about Obamas cheating. Larry Sinclair (Ithink that his name) was trying to get a gay rumor between himself and O off the ground (obviously he has issues) and MIchelle's infamou outings and bodyguard stories.

    Personal lives do not matter. Professional record does. Get over your hateful selves.

    ............I've worked in the NICU, where we deal with deaths of infants fairly frequently. We often had children come to see the baby or to hold the baby in their arms for a short period - shortly after birth (or at death), but the baby is taken to the morgue very quickly afterwards- rigormortis starts to set in, the body leaks fluids. In my experiences, nobody has ever removed a dead baby from the hospital to take home for the siblings to see. However, the children would be encouraged to come to the hospital.

    No one expects everyone to be on the same page as everyone else on a blog. But even folks who style themselves as "regulars" here can sometimes make trollish remarks. I'm sure I have from time to time.

    You might not get "troll" flack if you signed your name to your comment (don't bother giving the "I was too lazy to log in" excuse, that's sooooo lame).
