5. remember all the pictures of * doing stuff like that?

hell, for some reason, I don't either.

You can see it in the eyes of the children, they know without any bullshit filters.

pics like this bring tears of happiness to my eyes.

6. I love the photo where he bends down to greet

7. No criticism of previous Presidential First Families intended....

I do believe the Obamas have made the White House more accessible to Americans than any other previous First Family. They truly have made "The People's House" accessible to THE PEOPLE.

9. Remember the pictures someone posted of Romney visiting

a classroom of black kids and how uncomfortable he was? What a difference!

What the hell is wrong with this man? Is he bored, clueless, or just doesn't like children?
