9. As a NICU nurse, I can never pass by the cute baby pictures
Sat Jun 15, 2013, 01:31 AM
Jun 2013

and one of the things I like about the way our President holds babies is that he truly holds them instead of the way most politicians use them as props. I've never seen Obama do that. He holds them the way a truly connected father who often held his own daughters as babies would hold them.

I truly love that about him. It's one of the reasons I often say, even if I don't like what he's doing politically, he is a man with a good soul. It comes out when he holds children.
