Unlike the Howie Long jackass bullies of this world - and there have been some even in the White House as recently as last week - who throw their weight around, hurt and humiliate people just because they can, a real man protects, helps, rewards, and encourages the people around him.

Obama opened a bill-signing ceremony in the East Room on Thursday with the White House equivalent of a "wassup," casually calling out, "What's going on?"
The night before, trying to build support for his economic stimulus package, Obama invited House and Senate leaders over to the White House for cocktails.
Cocktails? The previous president was a teetotaler.
