The "hug" is iconic. It almost makes the Obama's out to be human! The horror! ;-)
I imagine even a "horror" such as yourself also hugs your kids - moron.
What I see is one paragraph indicating that it includes pictures but there are none. The original headline simply had the one of Barry and Michelle hugging. Is it my computer or is this story imcomplete?

thanks Josh, I couldn't see the dogs either, which is why I clicked on the link. So sorry we still have browser wars!
All of these moments were great and will be remembered for a long time.
My fave story is John Unger and Schoep! As an animal lover and foster this story melted my heart, and with a year of some many animal abuse stories it gave me some hope in humanity!!
Maybe if the teachers had been armed they could have prevented some or all of this.
