AHAHAHAHAHA! I love that they got the Box Tops for Education on there too!
This is what happens when you try to make a role model out of a guy who swims for a living...
I must even consider Obama an improvement over this kid when it comes to qualities I would want my kids to emulate. In that case both the kids and the role model are highly tentative...
i consider phelps a better role model than any politician.
politicians get their positions through lies,distortions and halftruths. and then use their position to position themselves futher.
phelps won his honestly, and began each race in the same place as the others.
"phelps won his honestly"
So does a horse win his race. Is that excellence?
I probably agree with you. Certainly as a whole, politicians are bad role models if only because the life of a politician is mostly a miserable one. And intelligence very well may be overrated. The Greek heroes were not particularly intelligent, and Achilles probably had more in common with Phelps than with Obama- but in our age Achilles would probably be either in an asylum or in prison. We have no place for real heroes.
That was a rant and not at all to the point.
niice. I'd have to say and I'm sure you were around for this.... Mark Spitz was a much better champion. And don't look for Phelps to try a comeback at what? Age 37?
