A Head of State, and a Boy’s Touching Request

This is an unfortunate headline, but this story makes me melt.

Barack Obama Being Adorable with Adorable Children

alexleo:

Barack + Babies.

The day after Obama endorses marriage equality, it comes out that while in high school, Romney assaulted a student he thought was gay

"You know, Malia and Sasha, they have friends whose parents are same-sex couples. There have been times where Michelle and I have been sitting around the dinner table and we’re talking about their friends and their parents and Malia and Sasha, it wouldn’t dawn on them that somehow their friends’ parents would be treated differently. It doesn’t make sense to them and frankly, that’s the kind of thing that prompts a change in perspective."

Our President, ladies and gents. (via pantslessprogressive).

Reminds me of another leader.

Planned Parenthood is on Tumblr!

plannedparenthood:

Planned Parenthood is excited to be launching our new Tumblr that’s all about sexual and reproductive health – bodies, birth control, relationship issues, “is it normal for this to do this?” type things. In the coming weeks and months we’ll be sharing what we know, answering questions, and just… tumblring. 

We hope you like it! And we hope it helps.

Welcome to the neighborhood!

I love that the Barack Obama tumblr reblogged this.

With Newt Gingrich leaving the presidential race, LightBox looks back on Callista Gingrich’s now-famous Swoosh which seemed to captivate photographers all along the campaign trail. See more here.

Love this.

whoa, Hill, whoa.

"How can I be anti-woman? I even judged the Miss America pageant."

"It is hard for men and women leaders. But it is harder for women leaders. There are so many built in expectations, stereotypes, caricatures."

I am not super into politics, but after seeing Topherchris’ Super Tuesday post I couldn’t help but notice what a bunch of grumps! I google image searched each candidate followed by the word “smile” or “smiling” and will now predict that the new Republican Nominee will be Mitt Romney by grins and chuckles.

Mitt Romeny

Smile Points-8,320,000

Smiling Points-8,280,000

TOTAL CHEESE POINTS!: 16,600,000

Rick Santorum

Smile Points-1,560,000

Smiling Points-1,560,000

TOTAL CHEESE POINTS!: 3,120,000

*Pretty crazy that his image search results for both smile and smiling where the same number. I guess Jesus really does works in mysterious ways.

Ron Paul

Smile Points-3,450,000

Smiling Points-1,320,000

TOTAL CHEESE POINTS!: 4,770,000

Yessss.

In a 60 Minutes/Vanity Fair poll last month, 2% of Americans thought Mitt Romney’s first name was Mittens.

Only 6% knew that it’s Willard.

Aw, Mittens Romney.
