If
President Barack Obama takes the Rudyard Kipling test of Manliness©®™:
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; — Check!
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too; — Check!
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies, — Check!
Or, being hated, don’t give way to hating, — Check!
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise; … Fuck.
