As much as DUmmies claim to eschew religion, they certainly love to assign supernatural powers to those they worship within their little personality cults, and look on them with the same sense of awe as that of a Christian towards Christ.

Obama calms crying baby, the look on Michelle's face is priceless!
Skip to the last 30 seconds if you want.

20. OMG, I see this and I'm no doubt gonna vote for Obama again!!!
One can only hope that was sarcasm. Considering that it's DU though, you never know.

10. That was great. He's got the touch.
Baby's and animals are rarely wrong about a persons character.
Remember all those pictures of babies that squalled the instant bush2 touched them?
Why, no. No, I don't remember that at all.
I have no doubt that it's
seared into your memory, though.

ETA: I'm sure with just a little more time the First Lady could have had her smiling too. Cute baby.
Well, babies do love furry animals.

22. Someday I hope someone publishes a book of nothing but pictures
of him with the children. There are so many pictures from the very beginning that are just precious. Maybe sell it for hunger funds. I would save to buy it.
Oh, me too! And one with nothing but pictures of him with lepers, and one with nothing but pictures of him with the blind, and one with nothing but pictures of him with the lame, healing all of them! *swoon*

18. Just because I have a huge beef(s) with Pres. Obama, doesn't mean
I don't think he's got a good heart. Babies seem to know these things so well.
Wish the clip were longer, sweet.
Eh, no. Much as I love babies, I have to say, babies don't know shit. They're
tabula rasa. Little stimulus-response creatures who have to learn from others and from experience. They respond to a soothing voice and a gentle touch and a smiling face. As much as we like to think of them as little adults and project our own ideals onto them, they lack "intuition", which is basically just an unconscious decision-making process based on subtle clues we receive, learned over a period of years.
So while babies are a gift from God, they don't possess any mystical powers of discriminating good people from bad. If they did, they'd projectile vomit any time a liberal picked them up.
