Advice for every politician: Don't try to force a hug on your daughter in front of cameras. You will be embarrassed. Proof: This video, as well as the million eye rolls at Obama dad jokes from Malia and Sasha.
After seeing this, I'm sure Barack and Michelle are going to be buying the girls sundaes tonight for merely rolling their eyes and not trying to flick Dad away like a bug.
"In honor of" is one way of putting it. It was a good article, but I was baffled by the idea that you could have 60's nostalgia in 1972. I was 19 at the time, and thought the 60s were still alive.
Mike wrote and published that article in 1972. I think it's a pretty common conceit to think the decade is behind you once the odometer hits 0s again, and it's only in looking back from a decade on or so that you realize how long the decade-named era actually overlapped past its supposed expiration date.
True. I think of late 50s-early 60s as rock 'n' roll, and late 60s – early 70s as peace, love and borrowed mysticism. Then we got disco, pub rock and punk in quick succession, and it's been a confusing handbasket ride ever since.
When I saw the clip, I thought she must be about 14-15, and it was no big deal; he shouldn't do unscripted hugs. Then I checked and she's about 8. Not good.

I don't think I've ever seen anything even remotely this uncomfortable from the Obamas.

Imagine some of the other candidates with their sons, it's probably just as bad.

OT: This is a cool thing a friend of mine wrote a long time ago and managed to dig up in honor of Bowie's passing: http://mikejahn.moxietype.com/index.php?story=sto…

Weirder that somehow Alice Cooper was the nostalgia.
That. Poor. Girl…
Do they have support groups for children of politicians?
That is scary. Didn't look like "awwww dad, geez "; looked like " you fucking monster, I'll get revenge some day "
"Doctor, instead of explaining my Daddy issues, may I show you this short video clip from when I was 7?"
His daughter clearly has both his charm and plays-well-with-others demeanor.

I look forward to reading her future comments here and on Wonkette.
"You're not my real father!"
|Remember?|tee hee, I do.
My dad would sometimes say "let's say grace" and then he'd go "grace!" and then we'd eat.
I think I'm still getting over the fact that Ted's 45 and not in his mid-late fifties. (?!)
The reason I remember it is because for some reason I was awarded COTD?

Why does every Jerk Baby have to pick their nose? If I was being held by Old Handsome Joe, my finger would not be up my nose.

I'm thinking the creation of this happy family involved a turkey baster.
