Charismatic-less politicians

Just a quick note about a meeting today with Jack Straw, Lord Chancellor of Great Britain and Secretary of State for Justice. After having delivered a convincing - albeit short - speech about various issues such as Human Rights Act 1998, transparency, the media, and how great Labour is, he still failed to capture my political imagination. I think this exemplifies the lack of political charisma most British politicians currently suffer from .Blair and Churchill are - unarguably - exceptions to this political misfortune. We need a British OBAMA!
