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..

american media continue to amaze me.....

This is like a wikipedia whereonly conservative views are present resulting in a very biased representation of history. Looking at pages for barack obama, bill clinton and ronald reagan, one can see how history can be rewritten easily for ones propaganda. Though I see one silver lining here. With the explosion of forms of media which is at least with the current technologies impossible to fully control, it will be very difficult to rewrite history according to ones agenda. But it will be easy to confuse people by loud rhetoric and finally it is about getting only 50% of the people on your side.

Chinese government takes internet censhorship to another level by mandating that all computers are sold with a screening software pre-installed. The reason given is to screen out the pornographic materials but could be easily used to prohibit politically explosive content as per the will of Chinese government.
