President Obama Can Charm Even A Hysterically Crying Baby (VIDEO)

With his daughters in double digits, President Obama probably hasn't had to soothe a sobbing baby for several years.

But in the video below, the Dad-In-Chief looks like a total pro. When a fan gives her crying child to Michelle and the baby wails away, Barack laughs and says, "You better give her back!" But instead Michelle hands the little girl over and much to everyone's shock (especially Michelle -- that facial expression is priceless), the baby immediately stops crying.

President Obama, meanwhile, just bounces the tot around with an "I told you so" smile on his face. Yeah, he's that good.

This makes me so happy. I wonder if I might be a simpleton. I don't care. Life is too complicated. Politics are horrible. Republicans are horribler. It's just so wonderful watching the interaction between the POTUS and the FLOTUS. And watch the little girl in the lower right corner - she's giddy with joy! I want to be giddy with joy too!

Adorable! That baby will always have this video to look back on and tell friends, 'LOOK! That's ME being comforted by the President of the United States!!"

Can he do the same for those crying republican babies in the house of representatives?

hahaha! Maybe that's where he got his practice....
Screaming about government shutdowns and debt ceilings does strike me as the behavior of a toddler in the terrible twos!

I'm waiting for some of the conservatives out there to tell us how "Obama is wasting our money doing this."

That deep baritone voice of his is very soothing. If America elected him because we like to hear him give speeches than dang straight that baby is cooed by it. Its human nature at this point.

Forget the crying baby, the little girl with the camera and pink top was too adorable.

She is, isn't she? She looks so happy.

Is this headline suggesting that Michelle Obama is cold hearted and the President is much better at parenting? He has said that Michelle shouldered the bulk of the parenting in his household.

The short answer: NO
