Obama on masculinity: 'You don't have to have eight women around you twerking'

This. This right here. I just can't imagine in a thousand years Trumpy saying anything remotely like this.

Damn, but do I miss having this man as President.

I finally had to look up "twerking".

I'd seen that movement on the tv but didn't know it had a name.

Thanks Obama!

Young people can't always see the big picture, and I remember leaning on Obama's leadership many times when I wanted a real life example of a virtuous man.
