Real Leadership in Obama - Biden

One of the things that irks me about this Presidential election is the appearance or lack of an ability to connect with voters by looking them in the eye. Maybe it is the way McCain presents his speeches from cue cards that just doesn’t seem to exude very much confidence as a leader. It’s almost as if McCain seems terrified whenever he has to speak to a crowd because he always has that blank look in his eyes whenever he eventually looks up at the people in attendance.

Then you go over to the Obama - Biden ticket and both of them can give a speech directly from the heart without cue cards. That alone speaks volumes when it comes to confidence in the message they are getting across which is very much in contrast to the lack of confidence in the message McCain is trying to sell.

I’m one of those funny people that if you can not look me in the eye when you want me to buy your product then my first impression is that you don’t believe in it. Call it a funny feeling but every time I see John McCain speak, for some odd reason I get the feeling he is selling me a Yugo but defining it as a Cadillac.

Over at Vim and Vinegar I found this must see video that just blew me away. Check it out…

I don’t know about you but I do know that I want the next President to have the confidence of FDR and his Vice President should be a Pitt Bull like Harry Truman. I find those qualities in Barack Obama and Joe Biden very evident in these troubling times we live in.
