1. When I said the "PO", I didnt mean the poopy option

[gateley]

5. SO GOOD! nt

[Rosa Luxemburg]

20. LOL!

[hileeopnyn8d]

2. I don't have a caption

but that man has the look of someone who wants another baby. I think he's going to have to wait for grandkids though, but I could be wrong.

4. Well, if Michelle is still in child-bearing years, and the way those two make googly-eyes at one

another all the time, we may have a newborn in the White House.

I bet Michele would be the most stylin' mother-to-be.

[Cha]

12. "Stylin'" is right and that's

where I learned that word..San Diego, CAB-)

8. a boy this time. not that he doesn't

love those girls, i know he does. but when you see him talking to little boys.....

[hileeopnyn8d]

17. That didn't

work so well for my father, he ended up with four girls!

I agree with you though, both his and the little boys' faces light up when he talks to them.

[pink-o]

21. My Dad dealt with 2 daughters, his wife, his sister and his sister-in-law.

He's a better man for all our estrogen!

36. My mother has told similar stories about my dad.

I have two older sisters and I was the last arrival. When my mother was pregnant with me, he was hoping for a boy because he grew up two sisters as well. And he sheepishly admitted this to mother and she took pleasure in teasing him because his attitude fate would assure that I would be a girl. But I born and as soon as the doc said, "It's a boy!" My mom said my dad practically started doing cartwheels in the hospital room.


Fate does like it's twists because personality-wise, both my sisters are basically smaller, longer-haired versions of my father while I ended up favoring my mother (Abet 14 inches taller and a 120 pounds heavier) :-)

37. my only brother is the 4th of 7. a total disappointment to my dad.

could have something to do with his idea that boys need a good beatin' once in a while to keep them on the straight and narrow. :crazy: and, oh, yeah, military school. fortunately, none of us turned out to be tooooooo much like him. i am as close as it gets, which might be why nobody talks to me.

which is to say- you want a baby. usually, you don't really want what that baby is going to grow into. or at least, you aren't ready.

3. "You, little one, are much smarter than all those Republicans. " "Gobahdogobah." "Proof once again."

[Autonomy]

6. President Obama promises to do everything in his power

to make a better world for her.

[gateley]

7. Are those little angel wings on her little outfit? If not, it should be - beautiful child! nt

[Autonomy]

9. Yes, they are angel wings... so fitting. :)

[PBS Poll-435]

10. Is that Alexandra's?

Cute kid.

[ellie]

11. That baby!

So cute.

[dgauss]

13. Obama Discusses Policy with Republican Leaders, Finds Communication Difficult

[Raine1967]

31. +1

:rofl:

[Brigid]

14. "I promise universal health care for you and your generation."

Cute kid. :)

[goclark]

15. That is adorable ~ remember how babies would cry at the sight of

GW.

What a difference -

[dogtag]

16. I'm always struck by

the beauty of the President's hands. They are perfect. Masculine, graceful, expressive and strong.

[Kceres]

18. Beautiful baby girl. I want to hold her!!!

Remember how sweet their heads' smell? I never even minded spit-up or diapers. Guess I have to wait until I get grandkids.

[Beacool]

19. Ahhhhh, she's a cutie.

And I love her little "angel" wings.

:-)

[lunatica]

22. Twick or tweet!

The baby is all ready for Halloween!

[PopSixSquish]

23. I've Seen a Lot of Politicians Hold Babies and Children Over the Years

but President Obama just seems to have this way about him that makes babies and children instinctively trust him. Joe Biden has it too.

This little one looks to be at the age where she could get a little twitchy if she doesn't know the person holding her but instead is just happy as can be...

[lunatica]

24. He shuts the world out when he looks into children's and dogs faces

That's what I've always noticed. It's like an invisible curtain comes down all around them for a few seconds. He does the same thing when he gets down to pet dogs. It's always the same.

[PopSixSquish]

25. Like This? - The President and "Chesty" The Marine Corp Mascot

Chesty is the only Marine allowed to try and lick the CIC's face...

[Jackeens]

26. Another one

U.S. President Barack Obama pets a dog who serves as the school mascot "Reveille" while meeting cadets after speaking at the Points of Light forum at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas October 16, 2009.


(I hope Bo isn't on DU - jeez, the jealousy!)

[lunatica]

27. Yes, and here's one I've always loved

It's like children give him a feeling of peace and he goes into total living in the now with them.

[struggle4progress]

28. Obama kidnaps baby in effort to steal birth certificate, Fox News reports

[mscuedawg]

32. LMAO! You win my vote!!! n/t

[JNelson6563]

29. Adorable.

Delightful picture. :toast:

[Retrograde]

30. Did they forget the red carpet?

The president is standing on an ordinary floor just like a regular person. The previous inhabitant of the White House always had a carpet rolled out for him to walk on, even outdoors. And this guy looks like he knows how to hold a baby without making it scream - doesn't he know Real Men (TM) don't do that? Actually, it looks like an unposed shot.

It's nice to have a human back in the White House!

[RepublicanElephant]

33. obama: "so, you gonna take granny's job when you grow-up?"

baby: "actually, i had my eye on yours."

[angee_is_mad]

34. Nancy Pelosi's granddaughter

right?

[Hutzpa]

35. That baby sure gets it

be sure to stay away from fox.

[SeaLyons]

38. No caption....just ADORABLE..

Obama is such a sweet man. Lovely picture.

[mgc1961]

39. How's the thumb, kiddo?

[NecklyTyler]

40. Chill out, I got this one covered
