  You're right.  While I've been able to see only one or two debates and have heard more on radio, Barack disappoints.  He projects little of the energy, spirit and enthusiasm that one would expect from a person deemed "charismatic."  He meanders and has no signature moves - such as JFK initiating the "hand chop" now used by so many.  And he meanders with a dull speaking voice, no less.  Don't know his height but he doesn't "stand tall."  H. Ross Perot was about 5'6" but was able to project a much larger look.  Interesting to see if those two have a debate with each other with us listening in or if they address the audience directly and barely acknowledge one another.  Dubbed chilly, formal and distant by virtually all accounts, the close quarters permit Hillary to have a "heart-to-heart" conversation with the viewer and audience. Is she as charming and pleasant up-close-and-personal as some loyal fans say? Still recall the close of Bill Clinton's 1992 presidential nomination acceptance speech when he said, "I believe in a place called Hope."  Damn near came through the TV and into my living room.  Saw an old Sinatra tape on TV once.  He looked live and in person.  How do they do that??????
