Interesting question. Do you like the President? Well, I have never met him so I cannot comment. Some would say "he is great" others might say, "he is aweful". Funny, because most people taking sides have acutally never met the man.
I have a huge amount of respect for the Office; President of the United States and this is true if I like or don't like the person sitting in that position. Before President Obama, it was President Bush and again people were making assessments of the person but doing it by means other than personal/direct knowledge.
Most of this information used as a basis for opinion is based on BEHAVIOR. We see the actions of people and figure backwards to determine motive or heart. Difficult at best since none of us can know what makes people tick. Yet, that's what we do. We do it with our children, we do it with co-workers and we make the same judgements on politicians.
What is teachable is ACTIONS speak the loudest! I am going to remind my kids that just because you say something, doesn't mean anything if your actions undo your words!
So, do you like the President? Wrong question. Do like the Presidents Actions? Right question. Behavior matters, especially in our leaders!
