. . . can identify with President Obama a lot more than they could have identified with other US Presidents.

They know that he isn't just saying these things to get higher ratings in the polls, because they also know that he can't get re-elected again.

President Obama should let it all hang out these last 2 years, and do more of this kind of thing with other leaders from other countries.

And damn, after Dubya's 8 years of incompetence, we need more of that everywhere!
