We don't need an emotional president who loses it at key moments. This is not a sporting event, it's the highest office in the land! Obama's calmness in the face of trouble shows me he'll not make rash decisions based solely on emotion. Instead, he'll logic things out and do what is right.

That's what we've been missing the past eight years.

4. That's what I mean. People loved Reagan, but Reagan didn't flail his arms in anger.
He made solemn, stern, pronouncements and you saw in his face that he meant business. That's what I see in Obama.

All the haters need to STFU.

5. Neither did FDR.
Or JFK or even Clinton. Yes, they showed empathy, but no one better dare say Obama hasn't, because I've seen it.

He understands Americans WANT a leader right now and he's acting like that leader. Instead of panicking like McCain, he's calculating every aspect of this crisis and acting like a president should.

6. I drink to that:) And it's just really really weird
to me how people, commentators, what have you, keep asking for him to be more of something..What The Heck?!

It never even occured to me to want Obama to change his personality..it's perfect.

7. Ever watch the Dog Whisperer?

Am I the only one who gets Obama's alpha male/leader of the pack behavior?

Keeping your cool is a "king" archetype thang.

8. He knows what he is doing and I appreciate that! They would
love to "rattle" him or make him upset or have him come off angry. We need this kind of leadership. Damn right he's cool!

9. We love his cool but MSM calls it coldness and no emotions. Do they like crazy McLame's temper?
Maybe they are looking for temper stories! I hope to see one on Friday from you know who.
