Uh O.

New York Magazine has a hilarious slide show proving that President Obama has alienated yet another constituency:

"Even babies — sweet, lovable, barely sentient babies — have turned on President Obama, the man with whom they once invested so much hope. Though he tries time and again to connect with these impressionable young citizens, it is all in vain, for his overtures are met only with cold shoulders. Tiny, cold shoulders."

No matter what he does, they won't meet his eyes. I'm thinking maybe it's the whole government-funded abortion thing. These kids could be thinking, "Hey, Dude, like, a week ago, that could've been me, nome saying?" Or maybe it's that he's already spent all the money they could possibly make for the rest of their lives.

Or maybe your average baby just has a higher IQ than Frank Rich. Yeah, that's probably it.

Babies are notorious racists.

Babies can tell when people are indifferent, uncomfortable, and don't know what they're doing. We (America) should've taken their advice.

Well, at least they don't piddle on him, as a koala once did to Jimmy Carter.

That's a postworthy photo, Kenneth. This was probably just a well-timed shot, but as good a burn as this is too good not to propagate:

Diane Ellis is yet another example of the undeniable truth that the Right has all the good-looking women.

I've raised five kids. So speaking as one with authority, it's obvious the kid (1) doesn't much like Obama and is (2) P.O.ed at the stupid little message on his bib. He might also be contemplating his future membership in Young Republicans.

I'm no baby expert, but the kid looks, what, around 12ish months? Maybe younger? Which means his or her peak earning years are going to be around 2050ish, when the lowest tax rate will be about 95% and the top tax rate will be about 125% and we'll all be wearing blue jumpsuits and praying for an end to the war with Eastasia, thanks in major part to the man squeezing him.

I'd cry, too.

People will still be praying in 2050?

The bib-o-graphic announcement raises questions in my mind: (1) Who did Dad vote for? (2) Why do we not care who Dad voted for? (3) Do we know who Dad is?

The slideshow should be set to music - anyone care to nominate a tune? I'm blank at the moment.
