(2,020 posts)Bill Clinton has a charisma that impacts not just the ladies. When I got to see Bill in person, the men were just as ready to march out of that room and do whatever it was he asked and they did. Every person in that room went out and worked their tails off for Hillary. Bill campaigned hard in Ohio when Hillary was campaigning in the primary in 2008 and Ohio went big time for Hillary in the primary.
Hillary is an amazing speaker. She is very charismatic in person as well. I found her voice and delivery to be imspiring and pleasing at the same time. At the event, I got into a conversation with one of the sound guys. I commented that HRC sounded very different in person. He said that the replays of audio recording are usually altered and women's voices are often messed with to make them less pleasing on replay. (I have read that that was done to Howard Dean's scream, to make him sound terrible.) He said it was common for that to happen in the media and, as a sound technician he knew all the tricks. He was not a Hillary campaigner, he was just hired to do a job, as he said he was voting for the other guy.
One of the things I noticed is that HRC is very genuine and caring to the people around her. She took particular notice of the children of the campaign volunteers who were at the event and spent extra time with the kids and treated them like they were the most important people in the room. Her campaign staff tried to pull her away from the kids and she would have none of it. She took the time to spend with the least powerful people there. She would make a great president. After seeing her in person, I understand why the elites are working at a fever pitch throwing every slur at her they can. The elites are in terror of her because she will act for the good of the American people. It is a shame people did not bother to read her platform when she ran the last time. It was far better than Obama's. I can no longer access a copy of her platform. Sure wish I had printed out the whole thing in 2008.
Obama is a good speaker, but he does not have whatever it is that Bill Clinton has. Obama is a really good speaker and is impressive in his own way.
