Comment by shorty63136

this picture is all i need to get through the tough days of this election…I am brought to tears everytime I look at it. my other source of tears comes from the thought of mccain/palin as victors. Go Obama/Biden!

Happiest little Dad in the world! Check out Papa’s proud grin!

Comment by stoprobbers

That picture is priceless. What an adorable little boy (and I’m assuming that’s proud papa in the background)!

Comment by Catalina

This totally rocks!

Comment by gogogeneva

What I think is most moving about all of these, is how comfortable Sen.Obama looks with kids. Like it’s more than just glad handing, he likes them in a genuine fashion.

OBAMA 08!!!! :)

Comment by minerva

My favorite – the pure joy and happiness of that little sweetheart chokes me up every time.

I think my ovaries just exploded.

Comment by Chicklet

This is my absolute favourite. The expression on the boy’s face, Obama’s, the man in the background’s… It melts my heart every time.
How can we make this The Image of the election?

Comment by Miranda

OHMYG! I love this dude soooooooooo much! PURE JOY ON THAT BABY’S FACE!

Crazy McCain!!!

Comment by kid fron Los Angeles

I saw this pic on another website and thought it was the BEST. EVER. My favourite out of BOTH elections (Canadian AND American).
God bless this little boy and God bless Barack Obama.

Thanks for posting.

I just love this one. My normally cold, cold heart warmed some.

Comment by Rachel

This really shows what Democrats are all about. I’m so proud to be an Obama supporter! He shows his true character in this picture-

Comment by Beverlee Zoll

The look on this boy’s face is exactly how I will feel when Obama is announced as our next POTUS on November 4th.

(And I’m making this my desktop picture until the election!!)

Comment by Ratgurl

This is the guy who can heal this country. I wish more images like this could make it to the living rooms of this great country of ours. Get out and vote for this great man.

Comment by Tom Zoll

I’ve been making videos in support of the Obama campaign since January and have seen a great many photos of Senator with kids. This is one of the best!

Comment by Beach

That is the way real genuine people look when holding a child. God Bless that sweet little Boy…

Comment by willpen

This picture makes me tear up. I put it as the wallpaper for my desktop. It’s just beautiful, it makes my heart overflow. It is my favorite campaign photo of ALL time-and ALL campaigns.

Comment by Heidi

I love this. :) And you know how children are very astute at reading adults. … They understand when someone genuinely likes them.

Comment by Angelique Fisher

My absolute favorite picture. Too cute.

Comment by Michelle

So I’m at work, in a hotel, at 4:42AM, and this made tear. It’s just genuine, and graceful, and hopeful, and cute kittens and rainbows and unicorns!

Obama ‘08!

Comment by Bonnie

What a beautiful picture. This is one of my favorites of the “Obama and Babies” photos. The look of joy on that little boy’s face is a treasure. Sure, it’s cute, but it’s also historical. One day that little boy will grow up and tell everyone how he got a hug from Barack Obama.

And is it just me or does Obama show more connection with kids he’s just met than Sarah Palin shows with her son Trig?

Comment by Jennifer K

Love your blog! I MUST write about it on mine.

Comment by feefifoto

CUTE! @Ken, you’ve got it wrong, man. The babies are making a habit of exploiting Obama.

Speaking of, I wonder if I could get him to hold my babies….

Comment by Kelly O

I wanna hug Obama too!

Comment by mike r baker

…and Kelly O gets 10 points for the retort, and an extra 5 points for a double entendre! ;-O

Comment by plaidlemur

@Kelly O: the winner!

I was just going to be a lot less clever and say to Ken that there are plenty of other sites to be a complete joykill.

But that picture just brought the happy back! Obama/Biden — and a bunch of beautiful babies!- in 08!!

Comment by Zephyr

What a beautiful picture. The dad looks just as excited as his son!

Comment by honey924

OMG!
i’m not even American (Canadian) and I’m not even the maternal type – but that picture frickn’ brings TEARS to my eyes.
You know how the Foo Fighters told MCCain to stop using their song “My Hero”? Well, if i were to make a mini movie of this here scene…

Comment by quesarahsarah

And dragging your children to a PR hockey game just so they can booed in public isn’t exploitation?

Great pictures, great site.

Comment by Lilly

Okay, I lied; THIS is my favorite picture.

Comment by Angie

I was hoping to see this!! I saw this else where and the first time I saw it I teared up a bit. I love it…and like I’ve been telling folks don’t be surprised if we see Barack Jr some time soon ;0)

Comment by Nia
