Go to Google Images and search "Romney baby", and there are a whole slew of photos of him holding babies in that position. No shortage of strange with that guy.

I remember that marvelous pic that someone posted on DU back in '08 in which the now-POTUS was holding at a cute little boy at some campaign stop and the expression on his face said "I love my girls dearly but it would be nice to have a son."

Unlike some other Presidents I could think of.
