Parents 'Mortified' After Baby Gives President Obama a Mouthful
ABC News ^ | 27 December 2011 | By Katie Kindelan

President Obama may have been able to laugh off the mouthful of fingers given to him by an 8-month-baby while visiting U.S. troops in Hawaii, but the baby's parents could not.

"I was mortified. I was so embarrassed," Meredith Wagner, mother of the five-fingered culprit, Cooper Wagner, said today on "Good Morning America."

Wagner, 27, and her husband, Capt. Greg Wagner, 25, were smiling for the cameras with their son and President Obama on Christmas Day at the Marine Corps Base at Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii, which the president visited while vacationing on the island with his family.

As the three adults struck a pose, Cooper reached up and stuck his tiny fingers in the president's mouth.

Meredith Wagner saw it all happen and reached up to pull Cooper's hand away from the mouth of the leader of the free world, while her husband smiled straight ahead at the roomful of photographers, ensuring the moment would be captured in perpetuity.

Mortified, embarassed for what? The baby acted like a baby. Should be ashamed though for allowing her family to be used.
