I think he hugs the very rich campaign donors and the poor -- it's the middle class he despises, those evil taxpayers who work hard for a living. He's going to make us pay.

Hugging and emotion in this context are a lost concept to most righties who only seem to understand the emotion of hate.

Granted he'd never get my vote. but this is probably the best thing about Obama. He's very good when he's with the people during disasters. Very personable.

Yet republicans donate more money to charity even though they earn less than democrats.

Willard won't need your wallet, he'll take your money with your eyes wide open.

Yes, hope he likes being governor because if the election goes south for Romney, the big guy is as far as he's going politically.

Flip through the mental photo album: Bush, standing on that legendary rubble pile on Sept. 14, 2001, one arm vise-clamping a firefighter, the other gripping a bullhorn; Bush, in New Orleans and Mississippi, handing out embraces like the Red Cross hands out relief supplies; Bush, at Virginia Tech, hugging the relatives of 32 murdered students."
Bush the Embracer
Perhaps we should search the archives and count how many times the OP posted about those 'pathetic photo ops' ?

My money's on a big, fat, hypocritical ZERO.

Whining about politicians seeking votes is about as sensible as whining about ducks taking to water, and that applies to both sides of the aisle.

If you're so willing to close your eyes to only one side of that what's truly pathetic here isn't the photo-op.
