40. I think President Obama is so universally loved...

...because at its roots, people respect him, because HE RESPECTS THEM.

The macho cowboy swagger was arrogant, and people responded negatively to that. Couple arrogance with ignorance, and people around the world feared us, too. Barack Obama is what every American President should be......four years won't be long enough for me.

Can we ignore the 22nd Amendment, just this one time? ( A favorite fantasy of mine! )
