Presidents really shouldn’t have smiles that would fit right in with a girl band. Or maybe they should.

That's adorable. Is he talking to Michelle, who's sitting right next to him? Or maybe they are both talking to their daughters...

...because that is the goofy grin of a happy family man if I ever saw one.

I have no clue - I saw it on one of those ICanHasCheezburger-related sites. But you're right about the goofy grin! And I *love* it.

Funny - when I saw this, I wanted to hurl. Guess we all approach imagery differently....

*hugs* I think the way we view the candidate affects how we parse images like this. To me it was cute, but I can easily see how others might not see it that way.

Sorry to give you such an unpleasant moment!

Oh, I didn't mean this morning I wanted to hurl - rather that when I first saw it on FB. But thanks for the sympathy, LOL. I realize that anyone can be subject to an unflattering photo - as you know, I value dignity and a sense of formality (medievalist that I am, Carmina Burana's poetry notwithstanding!) and I just found this so... unpresidential.... The *subject matter* (the Prez) is not the source of my nausea, but rather how he's portrayed.
