[QUOTE]Originally posted by Nim: [QB] Couldn't find a better thread for this, so here goes. When looking at the live Obama interview on the Daily Show last week, there are two things I notice. 1: Obama is a good speaker and a bad, bad "actor". When trying to pull off the same jokes (about daughter and disney channel for example) that he's already made in other interviews earlier in the week, it sounds rehearsed and awkward, which is great. 2: The impression I got in that interview was that of a positive, humble man who deep down is shy in the spotlight but has learned to work around it (his body language reactions to McCain's debate barbs also point to that, controlled shyness). And that's why I think he's an obvious choice for a leader. He's not a member of the folksy, populist, wolf-smile "lying to your face" actor's club that Bush, Clinton and McCain belong to, Obama's not good enough of a poker-face liar for that. People [i]should[/i] be more happy to have a man in the white house that is a bad actor but good legislator and leader. The majority of the people during elections seem to get swayed by the candidates that appeal to their values and seem the most charming, but in this case, I get more comforted by Obama's "flaws" than his merits.
