Emerald Catron — Wed, 19 Dec 2012 19:34:05 +0000

Fine. Time magazine was right – Barack Obama is the Person of the Year. We can’t argue with this photo, which was taken back in October. The kid dressed up as Spider-Man is one of President Obama’s staffer’s kids. So no real threat was posed, which we guess explains why the Secret Service isn’t taking him down. [...]

President Obama Photobombed by Adorable Smooching Kids

Emerald Catron — Wed, 24 Oct 2012 21:26:24 +0000

It takes a lot to upstage the President of the United States in a photograph, but these grade school kids have done it. We're not the only ones who think so. Even the president himself (or at least his Twitter account) labeled this the "picture of the day." We're pretty sure it's not because of the kid who's trying to eat his shirt. Or the way the president isn't looking at the camera either. Can you guess why?
