Babies Understand Presidential Material

Posted by Hannah Tennant-Moore

This series of photos is so good that a comic strip artist couldn't have invented anything better.

If you haven't yet had the joy of finding these priceless pictures in your inbox, you're in for a real treat. In honor of our new president, I offer you this proof of babies' innate intelligence:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 It's all right, little fella. The trauma is over.

I love this so much. The baby in the top pic looks like my little guy, but alas, we have not had an Obama moment.

The little guy in the blue and grey striped shirt makes me tear up every time.

The pics of him closing his eyes as he cuddles them tight made my ovaries flip over. You have to love a guy who knows how to hold a baby.

leahsmom - I totally agree. It's like the boy knows this is going to be a great photo op and is loving every minute of it. Too bad no pics with John McCain - I'm guessing they'd look like the Bush baby.

Hooray for Obama!

The shot in the middle, where both Obama and baby are looking at something and smiling/laughing, is priceless. The striped shirt kid too. Eh, they're all cute. I'm a sucker.

I love all the photos where our President's eyes are closed and he has that dreamy, faraway smile on his face. It's almost like looking into his soul from the inside out.

Not the Change we wanted said:

Are any of you aware that one of the executive orders Obama signed authorizesthe end of the ban on federal funds for international groups that promote or perform abortions. The baby that is fussy that Bush is holding should be grateful he reinstated that ban during his presidency!

I don't understand how now of you seem to grasp the concept that Obama supports abortion, supports funding abortions abroad with YOUR TAX DOLLARS, and wanted partial birth abortions to be legal.

Educate yourselves, people. Barak Obama is an evil man. Geez !! Try to  get a grip and read up on the truth about the man you elected for change. Is this the change you were hoping for???
