Obama is a man of PROFOUND charisma! His speeches are indisputably stirring. His words move people; they bring people to their feet. At a public address or appearance of this man, the infectious celebration is more than can be resisted, and all end up waving hands in the air. It happens everytime. It is because the man has a gift; he exudes something excellent. His capability to speak to the souls of his listeners cannot be ignored. And it can be seen in the eyes of those who listen. He is adored by his followers, what should that tell you? Those who celebrate his gifts would do most anything for him; what does that tell us when a man connects that deeply with so many? It is significant and rare.
With a strong heart-felt religious background, and strong educational background, this man has risen to positions of respect by those who come to believe in him .The magic of this man's leadership will move people to do extraordinary things. Under this kind of leadership, the devoted and loving flock he leads can do things that ordinarily others would think beyond possibility. It is due above all, to the wonderful charisma of this exceptional man.

I intend no comparison between these men beyond the factor of charisma. YET, charisma is but a small piece of the leadership equation. To have charisma as the driving fuel of one's social position is not ideal, unless the other pieces of the equation are intelligent, honest, and functional. Obama's followers are too oriented toward this charisma aspect. On its own, it isn't as glorious a phenomenon as they think. History teaches this.
