You Won‘t Believe the Crazy Pictures Of Obama Reading ’Where The Wild Things Are’

President Obama might inspire divisive feelings politically, but if there was ever any doubt that the president is great with kids, this video should put it to rest. In it, Obama reads the children’s classic “Where the Wild Things Are” to what sounds like a loud, excited crowd of children at the White House’s annual Easter Egg Hunt. But just wait until you see the pictures.
The Associated Press published a few unbelievable snapshots from the president’s dramatic reading:
CBS has video of the whole thing:
Those who want to read too much into things could argue that the video might give us some clues about the President’s political strategy. After all, he makes a point of dramatizing the act of staring into the eyes of the wild things, with an admonition to his audience not to blink, all in the service of being proclaimed “the wildest thing of all.”
Perhaps this is how the President views his exchanges with Republicans and/or the Supreme Court?
Or maybe he‘s just reading a children’s book very dramatically.

Posted on April 9, 2012 at 11:35pmOh my gosh!! Complaining about our President reading to children!! It would be an honor to have ANY president reading to my children or grandchildren…no matter what his party or policies. I cannot imagine saying “not allowing him near the children.”. Some people here have NO respect for the man OR the office and therefore…our country…..and what’s worse…..you are teaching your children to have no respect for anyone who doesn’t believe exactly like they do. I have seen our country survive presidents since FDR….good and bad…..but we’re still here. You have the right to say anything….thank goodness….but some today only call names and talk of doomsday because that’s what you hear from the radical right. Reagan and Ike could never have run as Republicans today…..the party has changed dramatically…and not for the best.

Posted on April 10, 2012 at 12:10amYou’re kind of missing the point. I’ll write simply so you get it. You see, Obama is a master manipulator, a thief, a marxist, a bolshevik, a punk and an inciter of racial violence (won’t prosecute Black Panthers who clearly break the law and threaten voters or put out bounties). Now, white Obama is no Manson or Dahmer or Amin, he is nonetheless not a good guy. I’d put him on par with a Castro or a Che. So, would I let Fidel read a book to my kids? No.
Story time is over Ms. Clueless.

Posted on April 9, 2012 at 11:27pmThe biggest story was at first he wanted to read “The Karmasutra”, but they didn‘t think the kids could achieve the postitions and he isn’t clear on any of his. So he settled on his true inspiration, to become King of the Monsters. And along with the communists, the minute he shows weakness, they will attack. Hopefully he gets tired, falls asleep, and wakes up back in Chicago, Jan 13.

We can all look forward to the children being taught the joys of Socialism, the great benefit of Communitarianism (Communism) and how the State is your Friend, and those who think outside the Collective Will should be reported to the State and sent back to school for re-education!
