There are times when just about everybody needs a hug. Including the President.
Can anyone imagine any of the other "candidates" getting this type of hug? Palin carried Trig like he was a sack of potatoes like she didn't really want to see him or touch him; Romney has lots of kids and grandchildren, but can you picture him hugging any of them in such a tender way? Newt and Helmet Hair? No way! Santorum likes to hug dead babies to make a point. Even Ron Paul would probably scare his own grandchildren.
And there are many more pictures like this of President Obama bonding with little children. This is one of the best. This little girl has a fabulous event to remember for the rest of her life - and the picture to commemorate it.
What's touching about that photo is the painting of Lincoln in the background. Can you just imagine him smiling at our first multirace President after all the nation went through? And there is President Obama and the next generation! Precious indeed.
Awwww! That pictures is for all time. She is hugging her Daddy and probably could care less that he is the most powerful man in the world. I too, would like to hug him. :D
Hi all. Sorry OT. But... I dont know why I can still be surprised at this point, but Sarah has posted some huge BS family-mythology on her facebook, again.
A photo supposedly of her "nephew doing his chores in minus 20 degree weather" as evidence of Alaskan "grit."
Now, the kid is in those long basketball shorts, with his calves exposed, pushing a snowblower. Wouldn't exposed skin seriously freeze and die at minus 20??
She throws out the most outlandish crap, and the sycophants just lap it up. Guess that's what happens when you moderate the page to include only hero-worshipers.
OT, but Handel was one of the people who was blessed as one of Palin's grizzled mamas during her failed run for Georgia Governor. Now she is taking down the Susan G. Komen Foundation and funding for Planned Parenthood. Why do these assholes hate women so much?
I've spent all day on the Komen Foundation debacle. I had to come back here to look at this photo of our President and the hug. Now I have a sweet image of honesty and truth to have in my mind for bed-dy by time!
After being blamed for every problem of every resident of the nation, from unemployment to weather conditions, the President could no doubt use a LOT of hugs...
...from those of us who wish to let him know there are still MANY who do not blindly accept the Fox channel propaganda, and are aware of what is really going on, and thankful for his efforts.
one of this week's Colbert episodes referenced the witch from wasilla w/o even mentioning her name!
on mccain: 'and he probably would have won if a house hadn't fallen on top of his running mate. ... she will be missed.' (might not be the exact quote)
A REAL loving parent knows that you hold children facing out from you, legs akimbo, preferably inadequately dressed for the weather. Poor President Obama!
Seriously, that photo is priceless for all the reasons already stated.
That snow blower picture just shows again how stupid the entire extended family is. Sure, you can work and exercise in extreme temperatures if you take basic precautions. That picture shows no basic precautions. http://health.usnews.com/health-news/family-health/infectious-diseases/articles/2012/01/07/safety-tips-for-cold-weather-exercise
Did you see how at the National Prayer Breakfast yesterday Obama is taking back Christianity? I am not Christian myself, but I am so glad there is someone speaking the truth about giving to the poor, being your brother's keeper, loving your neighbor as yourself etc. being the Christian thing to do.
Uh....8:53PM....which Trig is that??? How bout posting a picture of Baldy holding Trig...um....like YESTERDAY!
Remember troll...Trig loves to slap the shit out of Baldy whenever he see's her mannish mean old lady face...so if you post a picture of a RECENT picture then MAYBE you can compare the President holding that sweet little girl to the gargoyle lady!
PS...here's some advice for ya' troll...if you want folks to look at the picture you posted of Baldy...try using tinyurl.com! You're welcome..."dumbarse"!
What an awesome photo. This is one for the ages.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to hug him too.

Obama *2012*
So sweet.
ReplyDeleteSo sweet. He really does deserve lots of hugs. I should start a site called hugs for the President.
ReplyDeleteOMG, I am simply drowning in the utter cuteness of that photo!
ReplyDeleteAwwww how cute... President Obama is holding Willow Palin's baby...
ReplyDeleteLittle kids know.
ReplyDeletePresident Obama is genuinely hugging the little girl.

BREAKING NEWS
ReplyDeleteSarah Palin endorses Roseanne Barr for president
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/02/roseanne-barr-2012-actres_n_1251221.html#comments
Well not really... Sarah won't know who to endorse until the night of the GOP presidential election... but Roseanne is running..
That little girl looks so happy to give the Prez a hug...I'd like to hug him too!
ReplyDeleteYou can't fake real. Kids know that.
ReplyDeleteHow sweet!
ReplyDeleteDitto on the hug, Mr. President. We are here for you. As Bill would say: we feel your pain.
That child's great-grandchildren will take that picture in for show-and-tell.
ReplyDelete5:37PM...LMAO...you are so wrong for that! Wallow WISHED her baby was that cute!
ReplyDeleteHe better not let Sasha and Malia see him hugging that adorable little sweetie...but then they would probably want to take her home too!
I may be a middle aged white guy, but I can't tell you how much that 1 picture means to me.
ReplyDeleteWhat's touching about that photo is the painting of Lincoln in the background. Can you just imagine him smiling at our first multirace President after all the nation went through? And there is President Obama and the next generation! Precious indeed.
ReplyDeleteI love it.
ReplyDeleteLove the beautiful little girl...
and the way Lincoln is looking on in approval.
To 5:41
ReplyDeleteI'd pick Roseanne Barr over SP; I'm quite sure she's more intelligent!
To all of the commenters who say they would like to hug him too ... Ditto. Maybe someday, if I am lucky, very lucky.
ReplyDeleteAwwww! That pictures is for all time. She is hugging her Daddy and probably could care less that he is the most powerful man in the world. I too, would like to hug him. :D
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable little girl! I'm sure that picture will be framed and hung in a place of honor in her home. Love it!

ReplyDeleteJuicy exclaims on her FB page, "What global warming?"
Okay, I follow the logic ... What taxes, what laws, what condoms apply to the Palins? What a pathetic bunch of LOSERS.
Big Juicy is a JOKE.

I saw this picture the other day, but I love your take on it.
ReplyDeleteThe President probably does need a hug from a sweet child every so often to offset some of the negativity from the Republicans.
Thanks Gryphen!
Just the cutest! Love it! Lincoln, Obama and the future!!1
ReplyDeleteThe kids know.
ReplyDeletehttp://media.talkingpointsmemo.com/slideshow/mitt-romney-confusing-children
Did you ever notice that when most politicians are photographed with children, they look at the camera?
ReplyDeleteIn most of the photos that I've seen, President Obama is looking at the child instead.
Hmmm...perhaps that's the difference and the kids know it?
