Remember dignity you guys?

Barack Obama may not be president anymore, but his legendary baby-whispering skills are apparently still going strong, after photos of his encounter with a baby at an Alaska airport were circulated widely on social media.

While in a waiting area for private flights at Anchorage International Airport on Monday, Obama, who was on his way home after a trip to Asia, spotted 6-month-old Giselle and her mother, Jolene Jackinsky, of Anchorage.

Jackinsky told CNN that Obama walked up and asked "Who is this pretty girl?" before scooping up the adorable infant, who was sporting a ribboned sun hat, while her mother snapped a couple of photos.

When Giselle's father approached, Obama joked, "Hey! I'm taking your baby," Jackinsky recalled.

History will see this man as the beacon he really is in many regards.

It's a shame we live in the period where we deny this.

Yup. For all the shit he got while he was serving he will likely be looked back on fondly. Especially taking the current situation into account.

Next day Trump tweets out, Obama is a baby snatcher.

 

[Blablurn]

He is too good

 

[slider]

Nice try, Obama. But that baby has stolen the show.

What an awesome dude. I'd love to have a beer with him. Obama obviously.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Great job!

 

[DietRob]

I miss him so damn much.

I miss the normalcy and stability he provided the country. Every day now I wake up nervous about what Donald the Dumbass is going to do that day.

 

[Dynasty]

I want to see the birth certificate of that baby.

 

[MKIL65]

They can't stand the smell of cheetos.

It's amazing how charismatic and composed the Obamas are. Some people are born leaders.

Absolutely. Especially since we now have the biggest and dumbest cunt ever as president.

 

[nocturnalis]

Being sandwiched in-between Bush Jr and Trump will guarantee that.

Are the parrots doing it?

 

[GK86]

Come back, Obama!

 

[Finalizer]

Are the parrots doing it?

Yooooooo this can't be real right... right :O

 

[120v]

he's... he's coming back. isn't he. isn't he??

*rocks back and forth in fetal position

 

[psyfi]

Obama is lightyears better than Trump obviously, but the United States continued to commit untold atrocities under his leadership. No amount of cute baby photos will change that.

 

[Draper]

Beautiful

 

[Angelus Errare]

Are the parrots doing it?

Yes, which makes the photo all the more creepy

 

[Kevinroc]

Obama didn't take the selfie. The mother did. Obama's holding a baby.

(I miss Obama so much, you guys.)

 

[Waddle Dee]

Are the parrots doing it?

Just like Donald and Ivanka, no doubt.

We went from Obama, the baby-whisperer, to Donald, a proud pedophile.

 

[Don'tBeWeird]

Nope.

 

[Vicetrailia]

We went from a true leader in Obama, pretty much amongst the best role models possible to a deplorable human being in Trump (that's putting it very very very lightly).

Don't worry y'all. It is just a picture in the American tradition of Purity Balls.
