I'm proud that our president is a good family man who is loyal to his wife

1. They truly seem like a happy family - so nice to see. nt

[madokie]

2. Makes you proud doesn't it

does me for sure

[BumRushDaShow]

3. That's a really nice picture!

Malia is really growing up!!!

[lumpy]

4. Truly a decent man. And, best of all, his brain is still functioning.

[Skittles]

5. beautiful picture

[liberal N proud]

6. I have no reason to doubt that he as faithful as he appears.

But two things

I never hold anyone so high that I could be disappointed by them.

I recall a college history professor who used to spend most of our classes talking about mistresses of the Presidents. And that was before Clinton was in office.

7. K&R

8. Looks like America.

Authenticity.

[jwirr]

9. An example for the nation. I am proud of them.

[postulater]

10. I think having Grandma in the house

helps keep things grounded.

[applegrove]

11. Great shot.

[Withywindle]

12. They really are a lovely family.

I don't think Newt is capable of love in that way. I would pity him if he hadn't hurt so many people, and wasn't trying to amass great power so he can hurt millions more.

13. rec because i agree with the sentiment

14. Slightly OT - Did anyone see the FLOTUS on I-Carly tonight?

She went along with the gags, and delivered a very pro-military family message (yes - I know it's a repeat, but it was the fiirst time I'd seen it). I think the fact that the Obamas have younger kids made that appearance more credible.

[Lugnut]

15. What a beautiful family!

[ellisonz]

16. Happiness.

You can't buy that...:wink.

[Jester Messiah]

17. Yeah... remind me which side has the "family values" again?

It can't be the one with the serial adulterer pulling ahead... can it?

[MineralMan]

18. Yup. Let the "family values" candidates see that frequently.

Maybe they'll learn something.

[hughee99]

19. It doesn't affect my perception of what kind of president he is,

but it is good PR to have a president that's like this.

[valerief]

20. I don't really care. It's none of my business. nt

[woolldog]

21. +1

Plus just because he takes nice pictures with his wife and kids doesn't mean he doesn't have all sorts of mistresses. His best quality might not be faithfulness, but discretion.

Who cares anyway?

[Donald Ian Rankin]

22. Whereas I don't give a damn about it.

What matters in a president is whether he does a good job of presidenting, not whether he does a good job of husbanding.

If anything, I think drawing attention to his private life even in a positive light is a bad precedent.

[Scurrilous]

23. K & R

24. One of the reasons why the wingnuts hate him!
