Request that President Obama maintain a hair length of no shorter than two inches for the duration of his second term

Created by N.O. on January 13, 2013

This is a petition to bolster the social image of our president, in both the eyes of not only foreign powers, but also the citizens of this country. Through growing his hair, and embracing his ethnic roots, he exudes self confidence. It is too often overlooked at how much power lies in the physical appearance of our president. Something as simple as the growing of one's hair can tell volumes about their personality. Do we not want our President to show that he is confident enough to rise above the image that society expects from him? Such a simple act will engender respect from other countries, and could change their opinions of the U.S. for the better. Through this act, we can show the world that we are a culturally accepting and diverse country.
