From Think Progress:
From today's Social Security event in Galveston, Texas:
What an asshole. MR. BENTLEY: And we're operating in central Iraq. I'll be back there next week.
[Snip]
THE PRESIDENT: How many children you got?
MR. BENTLEY: We have two children. We have a four-year-old son named Patrick, and a three-month-old daughter named Elaine that I just got to meet for the first time.
THE PRESIDENT: Really?
MR. BENTLEY: Yes, sir.
THE PRESIDENT: No wonder you're emotional. (Laughter.) That's awesome.
MRS. BENTLEY: She was born two days after he deployed.
THE PRESIDENT: Yes, great.
