"How to Act Like Barack Obama\nNever mind politics\u2014from the way we wear our suits to the way we relate to our wives, somehow American men are acting a little more like 44\n1. THE iGESTURE\n\n The Move: Obama presents Queen Elizabeth with an iPod loaded with Her Majesty's favorite Broadway show tunes.\n\n The Message: When you're playing on someone else's social, cultural, or generational turf, never hide your identity. Use that outsider status to your advantage, and win points with a personal gesture. You'll get extra credit for assuming the recipient will be hip to that gesture, no matter how foreign it may seem\u2014it's flattering.\n2. THE STAND AND DELIVER\n\n The Move: With a gym full of U.S. troops in Kuwait looking on, candidate Obama sets up, waits a beat, then drains a three-pointer on his first shot. His reaction: \"I think that's all I should do.\"\n\n The Message: Have the guts to step up and take a risk. It's not grandstanding if there's a real possibility of public failure and humiliation. Just be sure you have the goods to back up that confidence. And if your skill (luck) does carry the moment, know enough not to press your luck (sorry, skill).\n3. THE MY BAD\n\n The Move: Obama compares his lack of bowling talent to the Special Olympics, mocks Nancy Reagan, and calls a reporter \"sweetie.\" Each time, he acknowledges his mistake and promptly makes a personal phone call to apologize.\n\n The Message: No e-mails or having someone pass along regret on your behalf. Every man should know that a real apology\u2014one that actually includes the words I'm andsorry\u2014comes in person, over the phone, or not at all.\n4. THE LONG LEASH\n\n The Move: When the First Puppy makes a run for it during his introduction to the White House press corps, instead of yanking the newest Obama back, the master in chief jogs humanely after him.\n\n The Message: There is something far worse than looking like a pussy: being afraid to look like a pussy. As the guy in charge, you don't always have to prove you're in control. Part of being secure with your power is knowing when not to exercise it.\n5. THE CLEAN SWEEP\n\n  The Move: After a campaign event at an Iowa ice-cream parlor is over and all the press (save one photographer) has left, Obama takes a moment to wipe down the counter.\n\n The Message: It doesn't matter how many assistants you have or how much of a hurry you're in\u2014good manners are never optional. You're never too big to clean up after yourself."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
