The prop-aganda, it scorches! OFA is taking a page from President Prop-aganda himself. Today, the OFA-run (wink wink, nudge nudge) @BarackObama Twitter account tweeted out that photo with the pitiful “need a hug” line. The photo, with a beautiful little girl, was taken in front of a portrait of Abraham Lincoln, natch.

Distract! Distract like the wind!
To distract from Benghazi, Boston, and the economy, @BarackObama will next hug four orphans and a kitty.

It’s surprising that President Obama would choose to be “punished” with someone else’s child! But, hey, photo ops.
Citizens are disgusted by the constant use of children as props and swiftly called out the pathetic display. They also suggested different captions and let the president know what they really need. Hint: It is not a hug from Obama.
Barack Obama asking Americans if we need a hug brings out my deeply buried right-wing side.
