Barack Obama approach to life and appearances
The following is a description of Barack's basic stance toward life, the way others see him, the way Barack Obama comes across, the face he shows to the world. In the page about motivation you will read about the inner Barack Obama - his real motivation, which describes the kind of person he is at heart and where his true priorities lie. Study this page and the next one and compare them - there may be significant differences between the two, in which case "the inner Barack Obama" may not shine through and others may be in for so a few surprises once they get to know Barack a little better. This page describes the disguise Obama wears, his role in life, while the page about motivation talks about the real person beneath the disguise.
Forward-looking and progressive, he is a person who supports change, innovation, and human advancement, and Barack Obama is often strongly committed to a humanitarian cause or social improvement. He is extremely aware of the interrelations between all people, and is always projecting personal issues unto a greater whole. Obama sees the political or social ramifications of personal actions, and he wishes to contribute something of value to the world, or at least to his community or group.
The ideals of equality, fairness, human rights, brotherhood, and social justice color Barack's whole outlook and approach to life. He is truly interested in the good of the whole and not only his own personal well-being.
Sometimes he may overlook or ignore his own and others' personal needs, desires, and feelings, especially if they do not conform to his ideals of how one should feel or act. Though he has little patience for conservative narrow-mindedness, Barack Obama himself is sometimes dogmatic about his beliefs and ideologies.
He is attracted to the avant-garde, the latest advances in human thought and development, and he is eclectic and cosmopolitan in his tastes. He may consider himself a "global citizen" rather than claiming a narrow, limited identification based on nationality, race, familial heritage, etc. Barack Obama is strongly influenced by his peer group and the flavor of the times in which he grew up, more so than by parental or family influences. He is involved and active in groups, community efforts, as well as cultural and progressive movements.
On a personal level, Barack Obama is friendly and expresses a kind of impersonal good will towards others. Obama probably has many acquaintances but few really close friends, and much of Obama's relationships with others are based on a sharing of common ideals and principles, rather than on emotional ties. Others see Barack Obama as a good friend and a comrade who is objective, fair and rather detached emotionally. Barack does not often show his emotions, and may be unsure about how to respond to others' emotional expression, for he tends to be very rational.
Barack Obama is also very independent and refuses to be possessed by any individual. Barack Obama is not comfortable with traditional sexual roles and is inclined to have "liberated" views about marriage, relationships, sharing of child rearing responsibilities, etc. Barack Obama needs to have a life outside of the personal, domestic sphere and to be involved with people on a broader scale. The nurturing of family ties, and close, deep, personal relationships may take a back seat to Obama's work or outside social activities.
He is easily excitable and could find it difficult to sit still. Obama always has something going on and is not afraid to take chances. Barack Obama takes the initiative and has the ability to stimulate and sweep others along.
