Obama doesn't work the crowd like a pro(fessional politician), he works it like a charismatic (in the religious sense) revival minister. If you have never seen one of these revival meetings you wouldn't understnad.
I do understand; you seem to have settled on a position and refuse to see the larger story. I don't give a hoot how it's characterized in person; I'm talking about how the MEDIA are portraying him--as a rock star. Anyone with the most basic understanding of the media knows what that means. Being literal is just being argumentative; the media are pushing him, whether you want to admit it or not his being a revival minister or a rock star in person is immaterial.
