That I am a Obama diehard fan has not doubt!
That I am trying to compare him and our revered leaders in this piece is a no-branier !!
That I am playing hard to bring out the dulleness of speech of our leaders that make as much part of the stagnant nature of our leadership is pretty obvious !!! :)
India needs new ideas, better articulated.
India needs more passion, a deeper sense of drama.
And I seriously wish our so called leaders (President, PM, even Rahul Gandhi and others from Congress and BJP alike) would make some effort to put value and passion to their speeches.
Indian Democracy sounds tired without it !
President Obama's state of the union message was a message to the Amercian people (and the world at large) and was nothing short of drama. His speech was a performance. And one can see he is enjoying his part to the hilt. As President of USA, the most powerful on the planet, of the most poweful nation in the globe, Obama conveys his enjoyment of power. He breathes through his messages. They are full of life !
And Obama looks fit (and handsome). His choice of words are so immaculate, his clothes just right and stated.
When Obama addresses the globe or the nation, he is not just a politican, he is appealing. And that makes him more endearing. There is a sense of intimacy and there is a sense of grandeur. There is a personal touch - the way he thanks his wife and his salute to his family becomes a salute to the nation at large. He will always acknowledge 2 or 3 ordinary citizens for thier courage or sense of duty thus adding a human sentimental touch. He even refers to his dog's behaviour sometimes !
The speeches of Obama have a feeling of achievenment. There is a sense of great urge and urgency to solve problems. There is a sense of process. Even sometimes admission of inadequacy - about health or unemployment.
Barack Obama converses with you, even if you are one among the millions watching him or listening to him.
He takes serious issues seriously. Every speech of his combines promise, threat and warning - with confidence, indicating the limits of his tolerance (case in point his appeal to repeal the gun act recently)- a strong leader of a strong nation
