JFK, Clinton"I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

I told you, Obama thinks of himself as a celebrity more than as a world leader. He wants to be popular, "with it" and part of the "in-crowd". So he tweets and selfies, and cuts up in public, cracking jokes and just being one of the frat guys.

I can easily see George W. Bush doing it, in his typical self-effacing manner."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion.

I have to admit that I never got the outrage. Is there something inherently wrong with world leaders taking selfies?
Its supposition trying to imagine what the older generation would have done in our time.

He has brought the office of the president down from a world leader to some celebrity role, like an actor that goes around doing Oprah shows and posing for photos at premiere events. He is all about showing off and does nothing that gives respect to the office he holds.
