The Limits of Charisma

I also think the carping about Obamamessiah being on tv has alot to do with what people are starting to bring up...what does Obama bring to the table besides charismatic rhetoric? I'm in Sales and there is no way I'm in the league of a politician. But even I am wary of using I/me when discussing issues with customers. It is always "we can help you", "how do you and your team feel about this", etc. It may seem like a small distinction, but the power of words is not lost on people, especially at Obamamessiah's level. With his overexposure (according to some), he is lobbying the American people, and while most people would probably say the more you hear something, the more you'll believe it, I feel the opposite. You keep harping on something, and I'm going to be more wary since I think you are trying to "sell" me something. You know, like being on the defensive at a car dealership! :wacko:

 

I don't necessarily hold your view about the legislation, Ursa. If it was so good, we wouldn't have Demonrats jumping ship either.

 

The funny thing is during the election it was Obama who time and again referred to "we" as contrasted to Hillary who was "I or me" all the time.

 

Maybe he's being more truthful by saying "I" because he doesn't speak for everybody as evidenced by the tremendous debate in this country on every issue no matter what the size and scope.
