And yeah, he really does know how to hold a baby, not for political gladhanding, but the way a baby can actually feel comfortable. President Obama appears to be concerned that baby wasn't sure about the situation - in other words, he tunes into babies as well as most women do. He tunes into children well, too.

Sarah Palin holding that baby boy like a sack of groceries to show off... I've never seen a mom handle their child the way she did... Like it wasn't hers.

Sometimes three or four of the above at the same time. They just can't wait to mess up a perfectly fresh new clean diaper.

At least he knows how to hold a baby compared to his opponent who holds babies like they are trophies.

Just a compare/contrast based on pics of the two. Obama treats children as precious, little humans. OTOH Rmoney treats them like precious, shiny objects.
