What does "Acting Presidential" mean?

[bleedingheart]

I know that there has been a lot of fluff over Dean and his speech following the Iowa primary and a lot of the media morons have been stating that it wasn't "presidential"...

Even when Kerry dropped the "F" bomb in Rolling Stone the media acted all prim and proper...

So what is "acting presidential"?

Bush can't put sentences together coherently, he mispronounces the names of foreign dignitaries and spends most of his time fundraising ...kind of like a chimp being controlled by the GOP organ grinder......is that presidential???

12. Don't speak too quickly...you never know what gaffe any candidate

may make...

Its just that we are electing the leader of our country...does that mean this person has to have lead a life without sin or any kind of problem?
