Call me old-fashioned, ’cause it’s true, but I think it’s untoward for a president to call someone “sexy”
If you get past the headline, which comes across as kind of shocking, and read the entire story, you see that Obama was just making a “throwaway line” joke when he said that Dr. Adam Levine, who heroically provided aid to Ebola patients in Africa, is “sexy.” I still found that descriptor inappropriate coming from an American president. I know I’m a different generation, but considering how important the president’s job is, I prefer a bit of gravitas. Wit is good — indeed, I encourage it — but too much familiarity or coarseness offends me.
