My friend Emily said this today.

Oh man. Let it just be said that I will not, am not, and would never vote for someone based solely on candid photographs of that person, but can you not see how much charisma this man has in every single picture of him? If I didn’t know who he was, I’d want to know who he was.

That says quite a lot, I think about the character of Barack Obama, it's true. Some people, and yes they're typically rock stars, you see them in public or in photos and you just want to know them, you want to be around them and this is how I feel about Barack Obama.

Some people draw people to them and I think that this man does that.
