Presidential Candidates Strongest Characteristics As a Speaker

I feel that the current Presidential Candidate Borack Obama has all three characteristics that the question has mentioned, which is credibility, attractiveness, as well as power. I believe that his strongest attribute as a speaker is his ability to be a very credible speaker. The reason being is that is able to pursue the American people and is very knowledgeable about the topics that he speaks of. He also indicates concern for his audiences interest which too makes him trustworthy. The notions that American people have about Obama comes from the preconceived notions that they already have for him through what they see and hear through the publicity that he has created for himself. Lets face it he is also a pretty powerful person, for the pure fact that he is able to control his audience ( Americans) and have an affect on their lives. Its obvious that he has the power over the people that plan on voting for him to be the next president of the United States. Lets also not forget the fact that he is easy on the eyes, which makes him even more appealing to listen to. Just like the book states (pg262) "The more attractive a speaker is, the more effective he or she will be". People are not only attracted to his physical appearance but also to his familiarity, similarity, and liking. He seems to have pretty amazing speaking abilities and this has an effect on how he comes across.
