I believe her point is they were both youthful , good looking, had political skills, and that's where the similarities end.

He's actually a better politician than I thought.

I believe he's 5'9'' in shoes which would make him the shortest president in the television era

He only speaks in canned talking points and constantly whines about the media being unfair to him. Republicans are deluding themselves if they think this moron is anywhere close to Obama in terms of oratory skills.

The commentor has to be joking...or, drunk. NO comparison.

So, now...who is Jesse McIntosh?

I believe we can beat him but it wouldn't be as easy as beating Bush*, Carson, or Trump...

He is very good at putting an amiable veneer on his right wing views.

but if this is him, he's a happy jolly fellow.

But nobody is like Obama, my President, and I doubt that there will never be another like him, even with a fraction of his talents.
