charisma of bush

someone wrote this about george bush

"Mr. Bush is the triumph of the seemingly average American man. He’s normal. He thinks in a sort of common-sense way. He speaks the language of business and sports and politics. You know him. He’s not exotic. But if there’s a fire on the block, he’ll run out and help. He’ll help direct the rig to the right house and count the kids coming out and say, “Where’s Sally?” He’s responsible. He’s not an intellectual. Intellectuals start all the trouble in the world."

this thinking about leadership being one of them has been widely celebrated in politics all over the world and has been successful in cases.. do we need politicians who are like us and hence we celebrate their ascendancy in the hope that we also will one day be able to achieve the same or we want those who have uncommon intelligence to grace the big office is always a tough question.

the answer is a difficult one and a sociological study is required to get one..
