1. It's so cute the way he mimics the expressions of babies and little kids!

[Bucky]

13. It's called mirroring. It's a basic nurturing response among higher primates

Gibbons, bonobos, and some Republicans have been known to exhibit this response among infants of their species as well.

19. I know. He doesn't pose. He looks them in the eye and they do the same back. The babies are

always calm. So cute.

2. The little girl is saying..."I gotta crush on Obama." ^_^ n/t

[BrklynLiberal]

9. What is it with him and babies.... it's like he has some sixth sense.....

I've yet to see a picture of him with a baby that didn't look mesmerized by him.

10. You're right!

I'm smiling real big right now.

Thanks, I needed that!

11. So wonderful to see a grandfather like that

Always makes me feel warm inside. You can tell how proud he is.

12. That baby is saying "Who the hell is this guy?"

And Obama's like "Uhhh, hello there." (Obama always looks at babies like he's really taking them seriously as individuals)

But MAN OH MAN, look at the look on the face of the father. Wow! Talk about pride!

LOVE IT!!!

14. LOL! I love the combo of the grandpa and granddaughter!

The grandpa looks so proud and thrilled too!

Seriously, I wish we had the elections so that Obama can have some actual ability to get things done.

15. To be honest, that's a still photograph ...

... and that baby could be heading either way.

But at least she's not bawling already.

16. That little cutie is in good hands - on both ends!

24. He's so good with babies and children - he's so genuine.

No wonder they love him. They know he loves THEM.
