2008 gave America an incredibly charismatic candidate for President of the United States.

Oh, please.

Maybe if you thought David Hasslehoff's talking car was charismatic.

obama caught lightning in a bottle in 2008, an insignificant little man who absolutely insisted on becoming important. Rather like another destructive demogogue's campaign, right down to the carefully orchestrated "fainting ladies" hired for the occasion at certain rallies.

If you want to see the model for the obama campaign watch "Triumph of the Will." Same character, same crowds, same campaign based on cultivated hatred of predecessors. Obama succeeded because at least ten million "Americans" hated GW Bush more than they loved their country.
