he is imposing and graceful but not intimidating. statuesque. a man who has earned the right to hold his head high.
i can see why any politician (especially one who habitually hides in a bottle) would envy mr obama this attribute.
yet, i still sense a tone in boehner's statement that suggests he thinks the office of the presidency has been "made smaller" by the occupant.
i've heard the same tone from "old guys" grumbling about having to admit new blood (brown skinned people) to fraternal clubs.
