Unlike Chump, Obama never slouched or pretended to be shorter just so Pootie wouldn't have to look up to him.

should have frozen his blood or whatever that substance he has in his veins. Love it. Mr. Obama was a really cool guy, affable and friendly. But he learned how to stare his enemy down. Damn he was good at that. Wish I had just a little bit of his steely stare.

ETA: Obama has a slight squint and no hint of a smile.

Look at Putin. He has a tiny hint of a smile. Obama was better at the stare down. Heh, heh, heh.

had a fantastic wit and humour and could write and deliver the best speeches of my lifetime.

He always looked good in the clothes he wore, tan suit included.

For that matter, Napoleon was average height.

I'm now 5'6" (have lost a couple of inches over the years), and I have no desire to conquer the world. Or even the block I live on.

The OP was laughing at how short Secretary Pete was compared to Beto. Couldn’t wait till the debates, the poster said.

Funny, where is the tall guy now?
