but don't you think even your own characterization of "cowboy george" emotes a sort of charisma itself? i mean, since the nick you chose wasn't akin to "al bore" or any botox failure of facial expressions for kerry. the President does have a reputation of being somewhat independent from sways in public opinion and doing what he thinks is best no matter who disapproves. i know he has that reputation because i've seen it lamented time and time again by TFP posters. it may not be your preferred notion of charisma but isn't there a case to say that he does indeed possess some considerable meaure of it?
