Pictures of Mitt Romney confusing children.

Navigation is a bit counter-intuitive -- click the faint gray dots above the photos.

Or the ginormous arrows on either side of them.

Only one of those children seemed to be even slightly confused. I call shenanigans.

Yeah, that baby in the pink bib looking "confused". Plainly having a shit while sat on Mitt's wrist.

I think they meant to say "Pictures of children confusing Mitt Romney".

Well, they're just good at hiding it.

Well, ginormous faint gray greater than and less than signs, but yeah that's kind of embarrassing.

The infants are just confused because they want to know who let the dogs out.

So, this actually makes me like Romney more. He seems to genuinely look happy to be holding kids in those pictures. None of the children look any more confused than any child handed to a new adult does.

I'm confused by the adults surrounding Romney who appear to be legitimately excited and happy to be in his presence.

I didn't see the arrows either.

Do you really want a baby tosser as your next president?

I can't explain why this cracked me up so much, but there it is. This one looks like he's brandishing the baby as a wand, or blessing the crowd with it, which is intriguing.

Or, having failed to preview, tossing the baby. Though I'd say "throwing the baby like a javelin."

yeah, Mitt Romney touching my kid: DO NOT WANT.

This made me look up the Wikipedia article on baby kissing (Yes. There is one!)

The practice appears to have originated during the era of Jacksonian democracy... City and county office candidates may frequently practice baby kissing on the campaign trail, but on the state and federal levels this is rare or even discouraged

Looks to me like he's preventing Premature Toddler Rapture.

If nothing else, this one finally made it clear for me that no matter how youthful he is intent on coming across, Mr. Romney is 64 damn years old.

I don't need him, and I'll not feed him, thankyou.

You know who else held babies? That's right, Hitler.

Why would you let some glad handing fool who just shook the hands of dozens and dozens of filthy Republicans touch your precious, vulnerable baby?

"Filthy republicans" -- What the hell does that even mean?

It's the flip flopping, right?

Standard political stuff - shaking babies and kissing hands.
