Seriously there are photos of him hunting tigers, riding horses shirtless and doing other extremely exciting things. Compared to photos of our president, he is a wild adventurer who is made of manliness. Not to say our Obama doesn't have his moments, have you seen the photo of his reaction to a kid dressed as spiderman shooting him with "web"? Priceless.
I guess I'm a little envious. Our politicians worries so much about being Christian and proper in order to get votes - that it's easy to forget they are people too. I think that the facade of being perfect detracts from the issues at hand.
I think Obama has started us moving in the right direction - making the office a little more personable (photos of him playing soccer with kids, the spiderman thing) but we are a long way from seeing unscripted vacation photos. England is so involved in the with Kate and Harry's relationship that I think Harry might feel like a third wheel sometimes. Vladamir Putin's photos make him look like a man that anyone could look up to. We are out of touch with our representatives - we blame them for all of our problems and ignore their successes.
Perhaps if we were able to relate to our candidates more, we would respect and perhaps even grow to love them as we see in places around the world.
