Friendly Politicians
I decided to write about something a little different in my blog post today. When a person thinks of politics, or when I think of politics at least, I think of serious men/women trying to save the nation. But, what people/I seem to forget is how most politicians play different roles in life, if it be being a father/mother, husband, friend or president. I watched a video of President Obama being bear hugged by a loyal voter, and I was truely taken back by the fact that the President gave out a hug instead of a handshake to a complete stranger. It is very out of the ordinary for someone to see the president being lifted off of the ground by a complete stranger, let alone anyone else. Isn't he supposed to have the secret service all around him? However, I did find it quite amusing to see two grown men breaking social norms and giving each other a big giant hug.

After reading this post I realized you're right, I never looks at politicians in that light. I've always assumed that they were stern men and women who had no other goals and aspirations life, other than acting as leaders of our country. I think this hug Obama shared with a common voter just proves how human even our president is. Events like this serve as a reminder that everyone has a life after work and even the president of the United Sates is a person, too.
