This.

Obama is charismatic, which I’ve come to believe is the number one requirement of a president. Romney isn’t.

I can’t help but think the recent attempted storm by Arizona’s Brewer was actually the first of several attempts to reduce Obama’s reputation of being, well, a nice guy. An attempt to sour some of his charisma. If so we’ll see more such confrontations.

He’s had a lifetime of practice with this tactic no doubt as people have tried like hell to get him to appear as the “angry black man.” I imagine he sees that one coming from miles away. Thus far, AFAIK, he’s never stumbled even a little bit, making the aggressor look like an idiot just like Brewer.
