44. I wanted to understand the actual context of the photo, so I did some googling.

Apparently Mitt was in the process of getting down to the floor for a picture with the group of kids, and the little girl was all excited that the famous presidential candidate was going to be right there in front of her as the picture was taken.

I detest Romney, but I have to admit that, funny as it is, this photo is not really fair. I would hate to see Obama similarly victimized by a photo that presented such a false view of what was going on.

On the other hand, I just cannot stop ROFLMAO.
