What makes a President!

We've seen during this election how Senator Obama has risen to be the presumptive nominee of the Democratic party. The things that makes him a winner is not his experience, or his grasp of facts and figures. It's his ability to move people (and presumably the people in Congress, also). This, in my humble view, is what will make him a good president and leader. If you look at the history of the presidency, it's the presidents that had this quality that were really successful (Kennedy, Reagan, for example). These were not particularly brilliant individuals, but they certainly had the ability to move people. I suppose Clinton did also, but perhaps his methods were a little more underhanded.

I would certainly like to see more of the type of leader that can move people, both on the national and local levels. I'd like to have more to choose from.
