Title: Why in the hell?
Post by: renocat on December 29, 2015, 10:40:21 AM
I ask myself this question often.  I am sure others ask themselves the same thing about a myriad of issues, actions, and events.  What is your question? Your answer for someone who is perplexed.  My most gnawing thought is why does the media think Obama is cool and the best president ever?  Help me understand or share your why in the hell question.

He's black, so they're trying to fit in and be hip and cool. Like Midwesterners that talk to someone from another race for the first time. They don't know what to do. "Oh sweet, a black president? Fill out this bracket sir. You've gotta love basketball".  :lol:

Have you seen the pic of him burning a heater when he was young? He's pretty cool imo. Bill Clinton was pretty cool. Reagan was pretty cool. A lot of presidents have been pretty cool.

Fact.  Like outside of Carter the president is usually a former cool guy.  Which is why Cruz can't win

And I think Carter even counts as a former cool guy. I mean he hung out with the allman bros. during his campaign

Def teddy.  That guy basically created his own army unit from scratch and took them to Cuba to f stuff up.  Also explored the amazon basin.

He would have his own Bear Gryllis type show if he was alive during our time.

Quote
Cleveland entered the White House as a bachelor and left a married man and father of two. His new wife was a beautiful young woman 27 years his junior named Frances Folsom. Frances was the daughter of a former law partner and Cleveland’s legal ward; Cleveland had literally known her since she was born. When she was 11, Frances’ father died and Cleveland became her legal guardian, remaining close friends with her mother. His pet name for Frances was Frank. Observers thought Cleveland would marry his friend’s widow and were completely surprised when, instead, he married Frances as soon as she turned 21.

That's not stud boss, that's rough ridin' weird.  So this guy married someone he knew since she was born and was her legal guardian/father from age 11 on.  That doesn't make him a stud, it makes him Jared from Subway creepy
