Top ‘Real Guy’ Moments




In a recent article caught my attention from the ABC New. This article shows the political campaign members doing different things that make them look tough.  In one of the “real guy” moments President Obama’s bus tour makes a stop at a local sports bar for a quick beer and some college football. By doing this Obama is showing how he is a regular guy and mainly for drinking a beer. Other moments that are shown in the article Vice President Biden traveled to Shanksville, Pa. for a memorial of the passengers and crew of United Airlines Flight 93 this week. There Biden gave a moving tribute to victims of the September 11 attacks and then had a "real guy" moment by telling firefighters from Shanksville that he would have them down to Washington.  Another, “real guy” moment was GOP Presidential Nominee Mitt Romney headed to the heart of NASCAR country, Richmond, Va. for a campaign stop. Romney handed out a treat of hot dogs during his pit stop at the Federated Auto Parts 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Richmond International Raceway. The real guy article shows how everyone who is apart of the election are portraying a real image that can relate to other men in America. This is a tactic that benefits both political parties because they are showing Americans that they have what, and are tough enough to be the U.S. President.

  1. Very good entry. That's what I had in mind. You could have done a bit more with the images, but otherwise it's fine.
