Yeah this was just too frickin’ cute, wasn’t it? Perhaps six-year-old kids can be programmed to break out in this kind of daddy-love, in the future, on Mars, but for now, this is kind of awesome. [Gawker]
AWWWW
Cute Overload: Obama Kids Charm America

Thirty years ago, it was called ‘kids say the darndest things’
Good god, but I still melt a bit when that man smiles.
Kids are the new beanie babies.
“Hey babies. I’m in Kansas City or St. Louis or some place in Missouri. With the Gallardos. See em with me? We had some great food, and I was sooooo hungry. Great munchies too while we watched mom on teevee.”
choinski: Like PRUNES! saying fuck 389 times in that kooky hearing?
Diapers 5.5
Could someone pleeeease get the girls some of those kitten-ear hair thingies? With those pics, we could melt the last glacier and this global warming debate would be over.
I hate the republicans enough that this seems cute and not even remotely contrived. And even if it was, good for those little girls. They are awesome.
SayItWithWookies: Oooh, the ol’ “if you can’t beat ‘em, drown ‘em” move. Me likey.
We are witnessing the Huxtable-ization of the Presidency. Next thing you know he’s going to show up in a cardigan.
The kids are cute, though I think the youngest is going to be the one we’ll be reading about who jumps out of the Lincoln Bedroom window (like so many young women before her???) and sneaks off with her secret Secret Service boyfriend during Dad’s second term. Cliff…er…Barry will chastize her severely,she’ll pout for awhile, but then everyone will meet in the White House kitchen and make chocolate chip cookies.
Michelle did a hell of a job tonight. Full props.
Wagamuffin: Dude, the youngest one’s going to be jailbait all the way through the second term. Secret Servive better keep they hands to theyselves.
AnnieGetYourFun: Yeah if we’d had that kind of cuteness four years ago, the “counting every vote” thing would’ve been moot in Florida.
Wagamuffin: Not a cardigan. An ugly sweater, with huge swaths of embroidered weirdness and odd geometric patterns.
Prediction: Sasha will be part deux of the family dynasty. She has all the makings of a star politician already: charming as hell and a microphone hog. Biden spawn better watch out!
Entire fucking staff’s in Denver…and Hunter Thompson’s ass squirt plops up a YouTube video. Tres Bien, Kenny.
I know this is exciting, but let’s not get carried away. Just wait until McCain’s first wife tells the heartwarming story of how McCain abandoned her so that he could marry that rich beer heiress.
SayItWithWookies: I wonder if there’s a future of younger presidents with adorable munchkins because of this? If people had believed that Kerry were capable, ever, of reproducing… things might have turned out different.
Say what you will, though, about the Bush administration - the good thing about them is that they have turned every single Republican that I know towards the Power of Light and Hope. Honestly, the meanest old bastards I know are all voting Obama, so totally horrified are they by Bush and everything his party now stands for.
AxmxZ: Yah, like that’s stopped them before…ask Amy Carter. OK, then, her boyfriend is the son of her Secret Service guy. He asks her to the Georgetown Junior Prom, but Cliff..er Barry…has a strict 10pm curfew policy for his precocious 15 year-old. Hillarity ensues, and Michelle steps in with Madeline Albright (starring as kindly Auntie Maddie), and a peaceful resolution is eventually brokered. Sasha is allowed to stay out till 10:30, the troops are brought home and everyone ends up in Kansas City or St. Loius making chocolate chip cookies in the kitchen.
AnnieGetYourFun: Yes! Me like! Think of the one he would wear for his Christmas time Fireside Chat…
Anyone have a good “I hate you Daddy” clip we can mash up with some of McMean’s more callous quotes?
Michelle is the Hillary I could/ would have voted for.
Simple as that, it’s going to be her in 2016.
You read it here first, see you in 8 years.

Of course as with everything else, this is good news for John McCain. Now everyone knows that Barry’s the one who has fathered black children. Everyone one knows it’s ok to lay with a negress occasionally, but you don’t impregnate her and then parade the little colored babies around! That’s just un-American and I think our Founding Father’s are rolling over in their graves. Especially, Thomas Jefferson. You didn’t see him doing no shit like that! No sir, TJ knew the game.
It all looks like some strange Nickelodeon gameshow. I was waiting for everyone to put on goggles and dive into a kiddie pool full of banana pudding.
stolichnayaaa: Barack covered in banana pudding? I’d hit it.
Hey, cameraman, Hopey was trying to get the point across to you that you were supposed to pan over and show the mysterious family. How the hell am I supposed to visualize the smiling white people on the couch now?
I almost want to have black kids now.
AnnieGetYourFun: Where do you live? I ask because I’m dying to know where there are mean old Republicans planning to vote for Obama.
I love little black girls, but I can never finish a whole one by myself.
Let that little one keep the gavel all week. She could run a more exciting party than Aunt Nancy.
…if that kind of cuteness could be bottled and sold then we would have cute addicts on every corner.
sorry Barry but I’m gonna have to jump ship
Sasha/Malia ‘08!!!
I was so confused last night. First, I wasn’t really watching the convention. I was watching a compelling Discovery Channel show about what it was like to be inside the Twin Towers with dramatic re-enactments - damn you Saddam! We’ll chase you to the Gates of Hell!…Anyway, after that ended I watched some of the Michelle speech, then the kids saying what they were told to say. Afterward, Keith Olbermann kept announcing “Case Closed! Case Closed!” Then I switch to Fox and Bill Kristol was smirking and saying “Didn’t do much for me.”…Damn, I should watch PBS, but I need swift affirmation of what I believe is happening or should be happening….then I passed out from too much drinking.
…WoW, Shuster and Scarborough are really going at it this morning. Please tell me this is going to be on the inter-tubes!?!?!?!
The Obama girls helped my trauma from Jimmy Carter’s ‘Terminator’ eye.
Can someone explain this CNN comment on the speech to me from their convention “report card”?
“Is it the dress or what’s in it? Michelle Obama covered the key milestones but the image of her in a cocktail dress left us wondering. B.”
I’ve figured out the “Leslie Sanchez is a political hack” part, but I can’t for the life of me figure out what it is she’s meant to be wondering about. Is it that only hoors wear cocktail dresses and a real American Woman would have worn a burqa and a Holly Hobby apron?
…all we have to do is get them to lip sync the Chinese national anthem!
That was the most blatantly staged performance you could have seen last night outside of Broadway, and damned if it wasn’t the most adorable thing ever. I love them all.
“Daddy, what city are you in, St. Louis or Kansas City?”
Yes those kids are cute, but let’s not panda-baby out on this. Remember what that was like?
But Michelle…wow.
Is it racist to say that black kids are way cuter than their white counterparts?
If Sasha and Malia had been Dakota and McKenzie, I would have wanted them shot for doing what they did.
Godless Liberal *: …as a black man I can say that I have seen some truly ugly black children. I mean children so ugly that if this was the middle ages they would have been left in the alone in the wilderness. Children so ugly you wouldn’t let your kids play with them because the ugly might rub off. Children so ugly that if ugly was a crime they would have a 12 count indictment at birth. Children so ugly that only a mother could love them and she would need to blind in both eyes. All that being said all races of children have the potential to be cute, just as long as half their DNA is from an Obama!
P.S.
My niece is pretty high
on the cuteness scale!
First George W. Bush starts a rumor about John McCain having fathered black children, and then he does the same thing to Barack Obama. But it turns out the rumor about Obama is true! Maybe this means that Bush was right about John McCain? This calls for investigation.
AngryBlakGuy: Joe was just being Joe, and a Republican..ie: a twat…
llyn: I know lots of mean old Republicans in MO (but in St. Louis, not Kansas City - everyone I know in KC was a Dem to begin with, since apparently being black in MO does that to you for some odd reason) voting for Obama…so AnnieGetYourFun is quite right, there’s a whole bunch of them.
I offer this as The Snark Antidote. Whenever the snark gets too thick (can there be such a thing?) play this clip.
Undeniable proof is that Bill “Please-someone-help-me-write-my-column” Kristol said it didn’t do anything to him. Clearly his soul was stolen by Bleens from the planet Cryptoid Z12jr #2 and is being held in the Black Hole galaxy until the Great Awakening.
Awwwwwwwww. So cute. I’m getting my vasectomy reversed tomorrow.
I want these people in the White House so badly hurts. If WALNUTS! wins, well, I don’t even want to imagine how I will feel. The White House needs adorable Obamunchkins running up and down the halls. It just does.
V572625694: And those panda babies grew up to be vicious terrorist killing machines, just like the NOOBAMAS.
Or maybe I’m thinking of polar bears.
As great as Michelle was (I can’t mention how hot she looked in that dress enough) she was blown off stage with the first “Hi Daddy!”
DoctorCulturae: Yeah, it’s funny that we need confirmation that Kristol is not only a complete idiot but also a soulless piece of dog turd. Bit there you go, confirmation.
Michelle rocked last night.
Last night on Tonight:
Leno: What’s up with your seven kitchens (or words to that effect)?
WALNUTS: Five and a half years, Jay!!!
Man…I wonder if the GOP confab will last either five and a half years or 911 days…
Awwww, dey’re so CAYUUUUUUTE!
Ahem. Anyway.
medievalist: Correct. The populace needs that confirmation because the MSM won’t “pay attention to the man behind the curtain” who, (to mix as many metaphors as possible) is not wearing any clothes.
The Demtards (everyone EXCEPT Hopesman for obvious reasons) would be wise to go with Bidens “Restore America’s Soul” meme.
I, for one, welcome our new Cute Overloads.
jerryw: Odd you should mention that, because at one point last night the Mrs. and I turned to each other and simultaneously said, “My God, it’s the Clintons all over again,” in that after Hopey’s second term, his missus will stand/run for the nomination. Only Michey will win.
BTW: Found a great sedative last night. With the fourth Stoli, I swallowed a pair of CalMag horsecaps, passed out in minutes and slept like the dead. Drunk and anesthetized is WAY better than just plain old drunk. Try it, y’all. Feed Big Herbal, not Big Pharma.
the DNC looks like the ZooTV tour U2 did way back when with all the teevee screens and whatnot. i wish they had crashing cars.
Puke.
Even the next morning, still makes me teary! It’s more than hormones, it’s presidential!
i always thought kansas city and st. louis were the same city…
glad to be disabused of that wrongness!
Yay! Cute kids!
whatever_dc: No, Kansas City is the cow-town. St. Louis is the city with the Arch.
SpecialHorse: I don’t think it was contrived. Obama seemed confused and unsure if he should respond or power through with his lines, little girl be damned!
Get universal heath care here quick, Barack. I think I have a mouthful of cavities after that saccharine business.

HILARIOUS. I was wondering how Anne could look at him straight on!?
dilhavarti:
It’s called turning 30.
whatever_dc: TGY: No, Kansas City is the poor man’s Fort Worth. St. Louis is the poor man’s Milwaukee.
