Have a good day!

One of the best speakers of all-time, in my opinion, is our current president of the United States, Barack Obama.  What I like most about Obama’s speaking qualities is his ability to make you, as an individual, feel that he is speaking directly to you.  This reminds me of when Obama and Clinton were running for the Democratic representative for Presidential election, 2008.  Both said, in my opinion, really good things, but when it came down to deciding who to elect as my party’s representative my selection process became very simple.  I imagined the both sitting at my kitchen table and them both telling me to have a good day. Then all I needed to decide was who I truly believed really meant it.  A lot of background research went into my final decision, but this is what it was simplified to in the end.  In the end it was Obama that I could visualize saying “have a good day,” handing me my lunch bag and I could feel him really meaning it.  Some of his speaking characteristics are first and foremost his charisma.  Charisma as defined by Dictionary.com is: “a spiritual power or personal quality that gives an individual influence or authority over large numbers of people.”  His charismatic abilities give him power.  He did not have presidential power when he first began to run for president in 2007, but he did have charisma which has proven to be much more powerful and gave him a certain type of credibility.  He also had well deserved credibility due to his track record while being elected to the United States Senate in Illinois, 2004.  All of this said there is another characteristic that makes Barack Obama an outstanding speaker, his attractiveness.  Obama has a creamy complexion, he is tall and slender, he has a strong, clear, yet caring voice, and a relationship that appears to be wonderful with his beautiful wife and their two lovely children.  All of these equate to attractiveness.  Have a good day Barack, and I mean it!   J
