Not a surprise to me ... never has been..

Four plus years ago,  the first time I saw him on the Oprah show I told my wife, "That's the next president of the United States and he will be in there eight years, maybe even more." What prompted such a rash prediction, he had something that few to no politicians have, he had "charisma." No one in sight had that quality to the extent he did. He was one "smooth talking son of a gun." And, moreover, he found the venue to showcase that quality.

As I have stated in the past, I have met two men who exhibited that quality to the extent that Obama has it. L. Ron Hubbard and Glenn Turner. Hubbard started Dianetics, which ultimately led to Scientology. Hubbard built a number of empires, lost them for one reason or another, and is probably working on another one as I write this.

Charisma can take a person a long way. Dale Carnegie probably had charisma, or he was just a great salesman. Think about it, we probably have the least qualified "politician" in Washington, running our country.

"May the peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with us, now and always!
