An Alaska mother is cherishing cellphone photos she snapped of her wide-eyed 6-month-old baby in the arms of former President Barack Obama.
Jolene Jackinsky was at Anchorage International Airport on Monday looking for an airline when she ended up in a waiting area for private flights where a man she thought looked like Obama was sitting.
"As I got closer, I thought: Oh my God, it is Obama," she recalled Friday from Newhalen, a small Alaska village where she's vacationing.
Obama then walked up to her and asked "Who is this pretty girl?"
They chatted about how fast children grow while Obama carried baby Giselle. Jackinsky took a few photos of a smiling Obama carrying Giselle, who was wearing a straw hat with a white ribbon.
Obama told them he was headed home from a vacation, Jackinsky said.
Airport officials were not immediately available Friday evening after work hours to confirm that Obama had stopped there.

America: where the men are women and the sheep vote.

Now if I saw Obama, I'd say, "oh my God, it's Obama. I gotta get out of here. Where's the nearest exit?"
I sure hope the airport was fumigated after he left.

Even though this has been discussed on another thread, I'd at least show clintoon and the buffoon Carter a tad of respect.
OTOH Obama?.... I'd probably flip him off if I saw him. He has done irreperable damage to this country than anyone else in history.

Yes, I believe I could have been respectful of the office with previous presidents. Barry Oh is an entirely different situation.

Hey, did anyone notice Bathhouse Barry isn't wearing his Islamic wedding ring? Whatup?

If I were ever so unfortunate as to be in the same place as Bammy, I would have exercise to verbal restraint, but I would sneer at him.

The photo, being a selfie, might be using the front camera (i.e., reversed).

I sure as heck wouldn't let him touch my child. I would never let any stranger hold my child and they don't get stranger than Barry....

The look on the kid's face tells it all - WTF?

The women must be an Obama voter to call him her god.

Probably. And if it was possible for Obama to run again for president, she would vote for him.
