What makes Barrack Obama so charismatic as compared to Hillary Clinton? Definitely not in looks but rather in their manner of speeches. The crowds are drawn in by the fiery speeches of Obama, who is a Harvard graduate of law studies. Everyone can make speeches, especially politician but to make speeches that makes people sit up, that makes people think about what you are saying, is a great skill. Not many politicians can do that and even in the past presidents of America, only a handful have really mastered that skills. I have not really listened to the old ones but the great one like the late Reagan is one fine example of a great orator. I think the next one is Barrack obama and I think he will make a fine President for America. He can captivate the audience with hope. He has great attitude and is matured in his handling of the masses. A great leader is a great actor and a great debater. I think Obama has all these qualities.
