I addition to becoming recognized as a statesman, he owns the 3-point line, speaks in complete sentences, and has a genuine smile. And can you imaging any other administration releasing a video with that music at the end?
No wonder the opposition goes to such desperate lengths to find something to criticize.
This new administration has a funky bass line.
Man, I am so happy to have this guy in charge. I can go to sleep at night and NOT WORRY that I will wake up to find some new right-wing idiocy being shoved down our collective throat. Even if I don’t agree with the details of certain policies, I love the over-all approach, and the commitment to actual intelligence. As a plus, he obviously genuinely likes people, loves his wife, and adores his kids. What a change!
“As a plus, he obviously genuinely likes people, loves his wife, and adores his kids. What a change!”
What an incredibly stupid thing to say.
Yes. Because republicans hate people, beat their wives, and despise their children.
Nicely summed up, Joe. Don’t forget, they also hate gay people, non-Christians, immigrants, and also science.
Yes, a President that I would sit down and drink a beer with. It’s nice to have a President that is an excellent speaker, has a great sense of humor, and doesn’t talk down to people. I really can’t imagine this video (and the bumper music at the end) or anything quite like it being produced by any previous administration. I find it very refreshing.
Like Tom, I can’t say that I agree with all of the policy decisions, but we liberals are like that. We don’t all toe the party line, though it seems that’s what conservatives expect of their politicians and constituency.
Hey Joe (@4), did I mention Republicans? Is that your (presumably) Republican guilty conscience showing? My primary point is that he seems like a genuinely nice guy, with heart in the right place, etc. My secondary point is that these characteristics are not created by spin, but reflect the true nature of the person. I am not making comparisons with any other person or party.
Re 7: Thank you for clarifying, Tom. I don’t buy it. But thank you for the attempt none the less.

Well then clearly, he’s qualified to be the leader of the free world.
Joe T.
He may be qualified to be the leader of the free world, or not.
He isn’t, though. Nobody except US voters elected him. The rest of us do not take kindly to your plans to subsume us into the Imperial States of America. At least not any more than we already have been.
Not that I’m saying anything against Obama in this. If you didn’t notice that large sigh of relief heard round the world when Bush II finally left office, you really are in denial.
Which part of most expensive military or greatest consumer of natural resources or worldwide polluter or largest stockpiler of deployable nuclear weapons or mismanaged economy or population in jail best qualifies the US to be our enlightened overlord, anyway?
The sooner the majority of Americans get an honest, science based education and leave behind their faith in the supernatural, the better; for them, and the rest of us.
Americans, please take this as constructive criticism. Look to the Greek Empire as to what they believed Hubris is inevitably followed by.
