Cooper Wall Wagner, 8-Month-Old Baby, Sticks Fingers In Obama's Mouth (VIDEO)

First Posted: 12/26/11 10:21 PM ET Updated: 12/27/11 12:19 AM ET

President Obama received an adorable surprise on Christmas day while visiting service members and their families at Marine Corps Base Hawaii.

As the Associated Press and CBS News both report, the President was posing for a photo with Capt. Greg Wagner, Meredith Wagner, and their eight-month-old son Cooper Wall Wagner when the little guy stuck his fingers in Obama's mouth.

The commander-in-chief smiled and took the moment in stride. He joked that the baby "saw that big nose and he's like, you know, 'I want some of that nose, I want some of that nose.'"

Video of the baby's brief encounter with Obama can be viewed above (via AP).

I can't help but notice that on all of the Christmases he's spent as President, he's visited the Marines that day on all three occasions. As a vet who spent Christmas 1972 with Bob Hope, I appreciate that. A lot.

Don't listen. Quickly jump to another site if you're tired of it. It's hard to believe what you're saying when you hang around sites like this one. Don't you think?

No pictures of Obama playing are allowed, WHY? I for one want to see that he is getting our money's worth.

There are plenty of pictures of the President playing golf, several of them with REPUBLICAN Congressmen. Yet, the President manages to get TWICE as much work done as all of the 535 people in the Congress and Senate combined. Why is that? and Why aren't you complaining about that?

This is the least productive congress in modern history. Whereas the President is one of the MOST productive since FDR. (Check the records)

Maybe it says something when children (untainted, unbiased and without prejud ice) embrace the POTUS and those with preconceived notions, bias and id eological taint can't seem to find the tolerance.

No, what he is saying is that the President makes productive, good babies happy and worthless ones starting with the Speaker throw tantrums and cry.

I take that as a sign of approval from young Cooper. The president's comfort level and his genuine kindness clearly is felt instinctively by children who always respond beautifully to him. That is a nice looking family and that photo in their family album will be priceless. I like this president and his family. They are good people and it shows.

Yes he cares. He wants to care for all of his subjects as we fawn over our BenevolentLeader.

Really, that is what you took from that? Babies who want someone to go away are much more "vocal" than that. It actually looked like the baby was comfortable with the President.

When one is in fear of being locked up at gitmo (NDAA which Obama demand detention of Americans be in the bill), one tends to not be very vocal and puts on the image of being "comfortable".

Real babies behave better and love OUR President. They feel his love.

This is very touching I cannot remember any POTUS being so comfortable and at ease with EVERY segment of the American people before. Whenever I see this President with any group he appears at home with them,. That's very telling and it's beautiful thing about President Obama the human being.

Cooper Wall Wagner you are beautiful baby and now a famous one. I wish the Wagner's and baby Cooper all the best.

Reminds me of the website "Yes We Can Hold Babies," which is all photos and clips of President Obama with babies and children. It started during the election cycle and is occasionally updated. Both President Obama and the First Lady are wonderful with kids.

My favorite is the little girl who is wailing while being held by the First Lady then instantly quiets when the President takes her. The First Lady's face is priceless!!

Try here. There are some gems on the page--the shoe throwing, the Mission Accomplished picture, the 9/11 "My Pet Goat" picture, the locked door picture, and nearly at the bottom, the crying baby picture--Ah, memories. Enjoy.
