Give credit where it is due: Obama has snake-charm charisma

For my GOP friends who think because of the absolute failure of the Obama administration to fix the economy winning the presidency will be damn near a slam dunk, I point out this ABC interview conducted in Las Vegas yesterday.

It shows the Obama charm turned fully on and provides a blue print for how he will campaign against reality and the GOP standard-bearer.

Make no mistake. He will be formidable. The president is not without his merits and his strengths, one of which is that innate snake-charm personality that can almost convince one into overlooking the reality of current events. And, as you can see from ABC's failure to really pin the president down on his failures and false assertions, the media will too often have his back.

I will, however, cut through his fertilizer in my column on Sunday. You can tune in here.
