******BARACK OBAMA GROUP****** President Obama is an excellent role model for men

[steve2470]

The man is an excellent father, husband and is not afraid to show his feelings in public. I just watched a brief snippet of his speech on his executive actions, and tears go down his cheeks. He allows the tears to remain on his cheeks instead of wiping them off hastily. I know some on the far right will say those were fake tears, "crocodile tears", but I strongly disagree. I think they were real.

Men of my age (57) know exactly what I'm talking about. To cry in public back in the day was the ultimate weakness and to be scorned. Yes, it's changed over the decades, thank god.

1. Far from perfect, a human who cares, I'll say yes and to add

"excellent role model for women and children as well"!

2. Best. President. EVAH.

Yeah, I know I'm biased, but he's at least the best president of my adult lifetime.

He brought me to tears this morning at his presser when he shed them for the late children of Sandy Hook. Man! That man loves with all of his heart.

and we'll love him more when he goes on to change the world in new ways after his presidency ends.

7. Thank you for this...

it does make me feel better about him not being President anymore. I dread that day, but he is so young and will go on to do great things.

5. It takes a strong man to show that level of emotion in public

6. He does make one proud to have participated in history

The election of Barack Obama broke all sorts of barriers and made history in an unimaginable sense.
