After the debates comments were made, of "looking presidential" or "being presidential" What actually do these statements mean?
Interesting question. I have wondered the same thing. I would guess that you will get a lot of very different answers to this question. TIC......... It seems like some women think "looking presidential" means "tall, dark and handsome". Of course "handsome" means different things to different people.Quote:

It means that the voting public cast their vote based on "looks" more than "substance".Quote:

To me a President should comport himself with dignity and grace (minus any animus), be sartorially resplendent and display impeccable tonsorial accumen.:D
It's in the details.................:cool:
Now I've got to go find my dictionary. HPW
Talk about cut and paste.....how long did it take you to find that on google
Again, your sanctimonious assumptions do not serve you well.Quote:
