When I listen to most political speeches, I wonder who their speechwriter is. I try to decipher their key talking points. Sometimes I try to catch a glimpse of the real person beneath their rhetoric.
But when Barack Obama speaks, I don't have to work as hard. He comes across as natural. Honest. Charismatic, but without effort or force. Even following his most difficult debate battle this campaign season, this man has grace under fire. And he just picked up a couple more cool points with the younger generation with his "get that dirt off your shoulder" dance move.
