Why do I like the President you ask?

The answer is simple:

"I understand some of the things I've done are unpopular," the President said. "But that's what comes with the territory. If you're afraid to make decisions and you only worried about whether or not people are going to say nice things about you, you're not leading."

He hit the nail on the head. He doesn't care how popular he is. He's not afraid to make a decision that goes against some stupid poll. This is exactly why I like this President. No, he's not a popular guy, but that's because sometimes he knows his decisions are more important than pleasing everyone. Regardless of whether or not you like him, you can't question his leadership.

Thanks to Right from Left for bringing this quote to my attention.
