My heart melts a little when I see Bill speaking.

Obama's "charisma" is perceived by people who already like what they see as his message and meaning- there's an Obama-shaped hole in them already.<BR/><BR/>He'll always please his believers- because their faith is more important to them than reality.<BR/><BR/>Genuine charisma, like your friend's, speaks even to those who aren't looking for it.<BR/><BR/>I once heard an interesting tale about Pres. Clinton. The speaker was a woman I know of strongly conservative beliefs and high level partisan Republican position. She was talking about being at a party in DC where he was, and he came over and spoke to her for a few minutes. (She's very attractive and dresses brilliantly, but she also is very confident in fact and affect so I'm sure he was repelled by that.) She said,<BR/><BR/>"I hate that bastard trash and everything he ever did or stood for. If he told me rain was wet I'd go stand in it to check.<BR/><BR/>But if he'd offered to take me into the coat closet, I might have said yes. I'm still trying to undisgust myself."staghoundshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05976667812875074135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19082318.post-59132044273662816462008-04-30T12:36:00.000-07:002008-04-30T12:36:00.000-07:00He will not be able to please his constituants, ev...He will not be able to please his constituants, ever. he preaches self reliance a little too much for the left to be happy with him for long.Miss Carnivoroushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00946466041548077150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19082318.post-83525126372469230732008-04-29T22:17:00.000-07:002008-04-29T22:17:00.000-07:00Pierre Trudeau was known for his charisma too, bu...Pierre Trudeau was known for his charisma too, but that didn't stop some people from hating him and his politics.
