The image I have in my head of Barack Obama interacting: with 'ordinary' americans, with other politicians, and with the leaders of other countries is a powerful one. Charm and grace lead to comfort and trust. My mom and I were driving around today and she remarked about how much she is put-off by HRC's voice. I told her that jokes or complaints about her 'shrillness' have been a point of contention re: sexism in the primary and she replied quickly that it was 'silly' to pretend to ignore such factors. I agree. With you and my mom. :)summer anne burtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18277818654592922276noreply@blogger.com
