partypup, all you’re saying is that you’d didn’t get the right vibes from Obama. Perhaps you were nerdy and Obama preferred to hang out with the popular students. Students can be that way. If that was the case, then of course he seemed aloof to you.
Well, perception is all individual. It’s like people saying that they don’t trust John Kerry because he looks French.
I dislike Katie Kouric and never watch her show. I think that he’s really fake — from her smile to the tone of her voice to her feigned empathy. However, millions of viewers love her personality.
I remember being invited to a fund-raiser dinner because my boss made a significant contribution to the candidate and the party. I went up to say hi to him but he was aloof and hardly spoke to me. Well, my feelings got hurt and I never contributed or voted for that politician again. That politician was Duke Cunningham at the Republican convention in 1996. I was happy when the jerk went to jail.
partypup, you met Obama many years ago. People change in 2 decades. Obama may not appeal to you exactly because of your personal experience with him. He appeals to me and many other voters.
