There are many characteristics about Barak Obama that are appealing. He has an immediate charm that you are drawn to when you hear or see him speaking. He is authentic! He is eloquent but down to earth. He is in his own right a man who has the ability to connect people, unite people and make you feel there is hope and goodness in this world. If only he was a leader for Australia. If only there were more leaders like him for the rest of the world. Perhaps he is the sign of very good things to come in terms of good leadership. Barak Obama is someone who if you were fortunate to be in his presence and he shook your hand, you would never want to wash the hand he touched.
E23D5 I don\'t know whether this is the correct spot or not but I am attempting to comment on to-night\'s Dateline program (16 April 2008). The most striking thing for me was Barrack Obama junior\'s uncle\'s pronounciation of his country as \"Keenya\".
Obama will not be allowed to be the Candidate as the DNC will see him off just like they did with Jessie Jackson amd Garry Hart. That's why Clinton is still in the race as the big end of town and the Israel lobby are behind her.
he's black, successful, a great speaker and he's not a former first lady to start with. barack always seems to walk away with winning each debate and leaves his 'opponent' miles behind, there's no stopping the obama train
he's charasmatic and intelligent, the best possible candidate
He is vibrant, fresh and enthusiastic. With a young family he has a passion for the environment and is not afraid to stand against the mob - as he did when he opposed the war in Iraq. He does not seem to be connected to or be influenced by big business. He is eloquent, comes with no obvious background baggage and just plain charming and likeable!
he's such a cutie!
