Obama has been a president

closest to the average American in history. Early on, it was only for the wealthy, which hasn't changed a whole lot, but I think Obama comes the closest to the average American ever.
Just check out all the pictures of him just on DU. So, he has a sense of humor? So, he some wealth, but earned the old fashioned way - he worked for it. So did his wife! His children also seem to be very 'average' in their behavior. Just try to find a better FAMILY. You'll have a hard time. He would be the most 'beloved' of all presidents if only he had white skin, not black!!!!! But, then HE DID WIN A SECOND ELECTION, so maybe a lot of people really do like him, they just don't want to 'admit' it??

I'd love to hang out with him and talk philosophy and ethics, environment, climate science, etc.

Michelle is the warmest first lady in my lifetime. She's loved by the people who knew her and worked with her back in Chicago at the hospital.
