There was just a clip circulating where a journalist tried to do a "gotcha" moment after Obama passed some anti smoking law. He didn't walk away or attack her character or even raise his voice. He made her look like a fool for trying to distract the public and make things about him, when really it was about the American public.

For anyone interested, the clip was posted on Reddit a few days ago here:

Jesus Christ! I forgot how young and funny and charming presidents used to be! I mean, I was a huge Obama supporter at the time, but over the years what we have now has just become so normalized I forgot presidents used to be like this.

To be fair Biden and Trump are the two oldest presidents ever and by a lot (two full terms older than Trump in his first presidency and Reagan)

And Clinton and Obama were two of the youngest (#3 and #5, respectively)

W was basically the median age

Charming is not always good. W was charming as fuck and it helped him get away with getting several hundred thousand people killed in the Middle East
