It's just one of the many tools politicians use to create a positive image. Nothing says "family values" more than a good-old photo opp with a young tot.
We took the liberty of peeking into these young minds to see what they were thinking when these adorable pictures were taken. Enjoy.

I say that's cute and shows a affectionate side of any running Presidential Candidates. But, doesn't that make you wonder, "What both their mouths been on"? The babies are probably saying to themselves, "Where's my daddy"? "Who is this strange man"? I like to see in the future, candidates giving out a little stuffed animal or something for the babies to remember with a signature? Now,that would be COOL!

Maybe its my IMAGINATION, but it seems to me
that babies seem to prefer Senator Obama
overwhelmingly to Senator McCain. Senator
Obama seems to be very relaxed and at ease
with every single baby; whereas Senator
McCain seems a little tense and less natural.
I have always believed that "old wives tale"
that babies are good judges of character.

I agree something else should be done rather than kissing babies. Not in this day in Time. I wonder if any of them really want to kiss someone else's baby. Maybe the children should embrace the children.

Let's be real now! The babies aren't comfortable with McCain, but I'm sure his low down, mud-slinging, dim-witted old ass grabbed every black, yellow, and red baby he could find to take a picture with. Of course, I'm sure they were few and far between at ANY of his rallies! Those pictures just weren't included in this particular showing.

Would not want McCant touching my baby. He is the devil. He may drop him. May leave the scent of linament on my child. Hell, look at that child, he looks like he is scared as hell.
OBAMA/BIDEN 2009 ALL THE WAY LIVE!

With the way McCain holds his arms I would be scared to let him hold my baby thinking he was going to drop him on the ground.
