I’ve never understood the group worship for Obama. He has got no charisma. People were raving about his speeches. I listened to some of his speeches, and there was no substance...and the “whistle” in his voice is VERY annoying. He can’t even speak coherently without a TelePrompTer.

I never saw the “magic” that so many kool aid drinking liberals saw.

I agree about Obama - I've always thought he was WAY overrated as a speaker and as a celebrity. It was just a case of white liberals projecting their own fantasies on him as the Magic Negro.

Similarly, with Hillary, white liberals saw her as perhaps the first viable female presidential candidate, and they thus projected on her all sorts of personal characteristics deemed essential for the person in that role, i.e., supreme intelligence, personal charm, good looks, integrity, and so forth. It is all a fantasy.

I think the author is way off base. In my view, the only president in my lifetime with 99th percentile charisma was JFK.

I know. It's like Sydney Pollock worship. WTF?

However, I now understand that Obama worshippers are few and far between in actual numbers on the ground in real, legit American voters.

It's the MSM "group" that worships Obama, and the MSM is America's self-portrait in a funhouse mirror. Outside the MSM funhouse the "Obama worshippers" are way outnumbered.

Me either. The one and only time I tried to listen to him I looked at hubby and said switch the channel. I can’t stand his sing songy preacher cadence.
