Watch out Repubs: President Obama is wooing the country again.
Do you really need a campaign speech when you can sing Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together” impromptu?
Some argue stuff like this doesn’t really matter to his re-election, but I’d say perhaps it does. Our president has the “X” factor that keeps us intrigued and wanting more. We go crazy when we see him do stuff like this because it reminds us that he’s one of us. We LIKE President Obama. We like him like we all liked the most popular guy at school. And why wouldn’t we?
He wins ‘Best All Around’ every year. He’s committed his life to improving our world AND on top of that, he can sing, play basketball, communicate difficult concepts with ease, and dance on stage with Ellen. He’s likeable. And effective ($2.5M new young people with health care thanks to ‘Obama Care,’ Osama Bin Ladin capture, the end of our war, unemployment down to 8.5% etc).
We want a president who’s relatable and competent. And by relatable we don’t mean you can just tell us what ‘the American people’ are feeling. It’s that you do and enjoy the same stuff we do (i.e. I’m 100% sure he sings in the shower like me). We want a president who does their best to unite our country, pass important legislation improving all of our lives and can insert a sense of confidence and calm when things aren’t going well.
President Obama’s republican opponents better work on their ‘cool,’ because our current president has it in spades and it’s wooing us back for four more years.
How can you not love this guy?!?!?
Obama is very likely but I can also see how he can’t be liked either. Wasn’t the most popular guy in high school hated a lot too?
Barack IS very likable. Everything about his demeanor puts you at ease. And come on, did you see his face soften when he started belting out that Al Green? He’s laid down some vocals before; iJust know it!
Agreed! I’m now almost certain he’s put a record or two down on some wax. President’s got HITS!
lol. I love this post and thanks for quoting a few of the major moves he’s made since being in office. It kills me when people act like he hasn’t done anything. I can’t wait to vote for him…AGAIN! Great post, as usual:)
