Great shots. Can you imagine Cheney doing that? He'd use an AK-47. HopeHoops Jun 2012 #13

like the Obamas. The big smiles and laughter "look" genuine.

Maybe he's a John Edwards fake but I dunno, he just looks like a regular guy playing with the kids. There's no artifice.

Can you imagine Cheney doing something like that? Instead of water, he'd be using birdshot!

I love Biden. Hope he runs in 2016. .

Why the need to bring him up? I love seeing our VP having so much fun by the way. I love our our President and VP relate to children.

That Obama and Biden can interact with others like normal human beings while every one of the Repugs acts like an escapee from "The Addams Family?"

It's like a comparison of humans vs Borg.

If this Veep shoots someone in the face, they'll just get wet. Cheney ... well...

He's been involved in a few things I don't support, but overall, he's not Dick Cheney. He doesn't tell you to go "f" yourself when you question him. He's got rough edges and he pisses a lot of people off and he's a favorite target for the right wing, but who cares. I like the guy.

...I can't recall a single time in 8 years when Cheney did anything with kids, except to maybe yell at them to get off the lawn of his "undisclosed location."

It would be interesting to go back and look at photos of White House kid-centric events like the Easter Egg Roll and see if he was anywhere in the vicinity. My guess is that he wasn't.
