Obama

Details.com:

The chief executive's behavior sets the tone for what it is to be a boss, a father, and a husband, as well as a leader--though not always for the better. For every Roosevelt or Kennedy or Reagan, there's a sweaty control freak (Nixon) or a mealymouthed milquetoast in a cardigan (Carter). Among our recent, younger, theoretically more relatable presidents, Bill Clinton, the feels-your-pain empath (enthusiast of McDonald's and other oral treats), didn't exactly inspire men to greater heights. And George W., the biz-school frat guy, forever mispronouncing big words and flunking big tests, lowered the bar with a self-satisfied smirk.

If someone cannot tell if Obama is a VERY POSITIVE role model for men and boys, (and women as well) then they probably have no idea what a positive role model would look like anyway.

I've started working out again.. if the leader of the free world can look good in his 40's then I can in my late 30's.

No I would never take money from my kids and spend it then expect them to pay it back so I could raid it again, so No I dont act like obama.

FAIL.

That was lame.

How do you take money from your kids AND give them room, board, transportation at the same time?

You couldn't act like Obama, because the guy has CLASS.

But you already have taken money from your kids to pay for an illegal war.

At least your kids will have an affordable education, health care and they will be able to live in an environment where they can breath.

MenStyle has committed a file by placing a shot of the POTUS in the bed with two women to tell a story about the President's character, demeanor, standards, and integrity. The first photo was unnecessary and demeaning to our President who is a married man with two children and it was not necessary to complement the President on his style, character, and integrity. The picture takes away from the first thing you are trying to discuss.

That title is so wrong...th­at said, my good friend had a little problem with his boss and he was asked to see the "big boss' . He was so nervous and I told him ' just do what Barack Obama would do. Stay calm and respond with class"....­he was like.."yea­h you are right. I can handle this."
Let's face it, the President has set a high standard.

Doing everything the Promisekeepers espoused, but could never accomplish, thanks to rampant hypocrisy. Isn't it amazing how much a good example can accomplish?

I learned a lot from watching Barack Obama during the debates and the run up to the election. Obama stayed above the fray eventhough he was getting smeared by the fascists and the angry old man wanted him to lose his cool. He is very mellow. Some people see that as a weakness but I see it as a strength. False displays of bravado like Bush used to engage in are counter-productive. Above all I love the way Obama adheres to a catch more flies with honey than with vinegar mentality. The guy is too smooth. That's probably why he has the republicans spinning in disaray trying to find out how to bring him down.
