A Master At Work

Regardless of what you may think of his politics, watch sometime as President Obama works a crowd. The man is a master at going to a rope line and engaging those who are there in conversation, laughter, and hand-shaking. I don’t think I’ve seen any president that is able to work a crowd better than this man.
That ability will serve him well as he continues into his presidency. He seems able to make a connection with people in a crowd that has been sorely lacking in the last several presidents. Only Kennedy, Reagan and to a lesser extent Clinton came even close to the ability of Mr. Obama to engage the common person.
Oh, by the way, you probably won’t see Mr. Obama work a line on any of the commercial channels. You’ll have to watch one of the C-SPAN channels to see it, but it’s well worth it.
