Barack Obama’s legendary baby-whispering skills are apparently still going strong, after photos of his encounter with a baby at an Alaska airport were circulated widely on social media.
When Giselle’s father approached, Obama joked, “Hey! I’m taking your baby, ” Jackinsky recalled.
“It was unreal and very exciting. After I met him I couldn’t believe I actually talked to him and he held my baby, ” she said.
During his time at the White House, Obama became notorious for his love of kids. In 2011, a video of him expertly comforting a fussy baby went viral. Obama’s White House photographer, Pete Souza, also regularly captured the then-President meeting a series of small visitors on his Instagram page.
Yet, despite the famous man holding her, it was baby Giselle’s wide-eyed expression that some on social media in delight Saturday.
“Will never get enough of this baby’s expressions, like she KNOWS she’s meeting Pres Obama, ” said one tweet.
