First of all, Obama’s a boss for breaking out singing Al Green. In my opinion, it jsut adds a bit more to his personality. I like the idea that we have a president who can act just as silly as us regular folks is quite comforting. Now on the topic on the double standard between politicains we like and don’t like, I think it’s a perfectly natural behavior. We act the same with people we come in contact with on a daily basis. The more you like a person the more tolerant you are of their behavior. It’s not right for sure, but it’s really hard to act otherwise.
