******BARACK OBAMA GROUP****** President Obama is an excellent role model for men [View all]

The man is an excellent father, husband and is not afraid to show his feelings in public. I just watched a brief snippet of his speech on his executive actions, and tears go down his cheeks. He allows the tears to remain on his cheeks instead of wiping them off hastily. I know some on the far right will say those were fake tears, "crocodile tears", but I strongly disagree. I think they were real.

Men of my age (57) know exactly what I'm talking about. To cry in public back in the day was the ultimate weakness and to be scorned. Yes, it's changed over the decades, thank god.
