He's "just" a reminder of how a real President should be like. Like his politics or don't like it at least he THINKS before he speaks!!

Mr. President has true stage presence. He can speak to people at all levels: Foreign dignitaries and heads of state, audience members and people on the streets, and talk show hosts and celebrities. He’s the same guy no matter what. Love this guy for his integrity, demeanor, and smoothness.

I'm not American, but it sure is nice to hear someone string a few intelligent, insightful, funny sentences together.
