With all due respect to president Obama, he was much like a celebrity, which could in part be due to the historic nature of his presidency, and the fact that he was a helluva speaker and came across to those who didn't listen to what he was actually saying, and watch what he actually did, as a nice, personable guy.
It's not legitimate, imo, to imply that because YOU don't like the current president, that the children of today would not want to grow up and become president. It is my opinion that your jaded negativity cannot and will not dampen the enthusiasm and the dreams of today's youth.
