The relationship between him and Pete is so touching you can feel the love like the Obama’s.

The more I see of them the more I feel good about my choice. I read they want to start a family I think it’s time for a baby in the White House.

I am certain they would be awesome parents - just the two of them - and it would be terrific support for them to have grandma nearby. Like Michelle’s mom

The best family role model to the worst. It’s a living nightmare.

I really hope Pete gets more well known.
