You know, I heard Ron Paul on Meet The Press a few months ago and was refreshed at how open he was. He feels how he feels, and doesn’t have a problem expressing it. My dad pointed out, quite truthfully, that he could speak like that because he had a negative chance of getting the nomination, let alone become president.
And here comes Barack Obama to charm the fucking pants off of anyone with a pulse (that isn’t a bigot), and come off, to me, 100% genuine (or at least 99%). Effective presidents speak and lead with charisma, and Barack Obama, “inexperienced” or otherwise, seems to be a great fit for me.
