I Like ItI Don’t Like It

Somehow, somewhere, at some point in the political process, candidates started getting handed babies. It's since become campaign trail tradition that they hold the infants, hug them, kiss them, and occasionally make them cry. And babies' faces don't lie. Here's how babies respond to Joe Biden (and vice versa).

you can tell her really loves kids and has held his fair share. i love the pic of the baby pulling his lip - ouch!

He's holding very, very still while the little girl's pulling on his lip, definitely the mark of a man who's held his share of kids. Sarah Palin only seems to care about holding Trig when the cameras are rolling. Ick.

Biden loves kids...his own, his grandchildren and certainly all others. Beautiful pictures.

No, Sarah Palin's relationship with her own children seems a little odd.

I love the last two pictures. So cute.

The title should read, "Biden holds the only American that will not have her taxes raised in 2009."

How many times do you need to be told that Obama WILL NOT RAISE TAXES on the middle class aka folks who make less then 250k? Seriously. Hearing you people on the right repeatedly LIE about Obama's record is pathetic. In case you missed it the first 5000000000 times, OBAMA WILL NOT raise taxes on the middle class. he will CUT taxes for folks who make less then 250k. Got it?

Actually Obama is not giving us a new middle class tax cut. When the Bush Tax Cuts are allowed to expire they'll give us a similar break. That's not a real break. That's keeping a flat rate but Obama uses lawyer logic (much like little kid logic but with bigger words) so it sounds better. Of course when big businesses get a tax increase that will be passed on to all of us as an indirect tax. Basically it will be a tax the politicians are too nutless to levy themselves. They put it on the businesses and they pass it on to us. Businesses will then get blamed for the high price increases. What happens when tobacco companies have their taxes raised? The cigarrettes go up.
By the way, that $250,000 number has been lowered significantly during recent speeches by Obama and Biden. It's down to $130,000 depending on the day of the week.

LOL....why the 'pull' on his lip? Is that a hint for "Uncle Joe, say something."

Too cute................

I love pic 1, the baby has him by the lip. He's very personable and it shows in the last pic, getting up close with the kids. I imagine he and Obama both have a ball with kids on the trail and like to make faces and joke with them, we've even seen evidence of this. I can't imagine the other camp doing those kinds of things without scaring the kids.

notice there are no "Palin with Babies" pics. People afraid of handing their child over?
04:12 PM on 11/01/2008
They might be afraid that maybe she collects them then doesn't let them go to school.
06:37 PM on 11/02/2008
She doesn't even want to hold Trig, she's always passing him over to one of the girls.
12:40 PM on 11/01/2008
Possibly it is wise to keep Biden with the babies since he keeps getting BO in trouble with his remarks.
