    A little romance in the top row definitely stole the show of this presidential photo op.

    President Barack Obama surprised the students at Daughter of Zion Jr. Academy in Delray Beach, Fla., with an unscheduled stop after a campaign event at Delray Beach Tennis Center on Tuesday.

    The kids were standing outside their school to wave to the motorcade but got an even more personal response: The commander in chief stopped and took a photo with them.

    But perhaps the biggest surprise of all was the kissing pair photobombing the president.

    Obama, sitting in with the students, balances one child on his knee with no idea of the romantic drama going on above him.

    The cute photo of President Obama with the adorable sight of the kissing students caught the attention of the Web, and Twitter named it "photo of the day."

    As for the president's rival, former Gov. Mitt Romney has also gotten the Web buzzing with his own surprise photo op. This picture was taken when Romney made an unscheduled stop at a Chipotle restaurant in Denver on Oct. 2.

    The only employee who seems to have a normal reaction is the guy to the right of Romney. The disbelieving employee, Marty Arps, who is pointing at the GOP nominee, said his facial expression is just something he does when he's excited.
