While these are some of the popular pictures of Obama with babies, videos of his reaction on seeing kids dressed during Halloween have always been topic of the discussion on social media. He often bends down to every baby and talks to them, shakes hand with them and generally grabs them in his arms. His brings out the inner child in him around babies and becomes one among them. We wish Barack Obama a great birthday and hope we get to see more pictures of him with babies.
