Michelle Obama's hug of former President George W. Bush sent social media into overdrive.

The embrace, captured by former chief White House photographer David Hume Kennerly, was taken at the opening of the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C., on Saturday.

But it got an amusing re-do on social media, with Reddit.com posters coming up with a slew of alternative objects of first lady love, including a real bushBrad Pitt, a baby BushZoid, a pillow, in a Vladimir Putin and Sen. Bernie Sanders group hug, and with the president ready for bed.
