Oh so true. Obama is very stiff and impersonal with everything. In all his speeches, he rarely conveys much emotion except for when he is making a joke. That is probably one of the problems with Obama, especially as he continues to stay in the public eye.
For all the convincing Obama can do with his speeches, imagine if he had the acting ability of Ronald Reagan. That man would probably be able to sway the most hardened republicans...or Hilary Clinton democrats (but that's stretching it a little)
To be honest, I think of all the candidates for president, only McCain had that feeling that he was connected with the everyday man. Fuck Joe the Plumber and his bullshit, McCain felt genuine. Hilary had the same disconnected problem as Obama.
McCain always struck me as a slimy used car salesman who knew he was going to take you for a big one.
I think the last Democrat on national level who actually managed to connect with people was Clinton. Obama could take lessons from him, even; Billy-boy could turn the tears on and off like a faucet.
I hear Hillary taught him that.
