We are all familiar with the Obama we know from TV. The kind, charming, well-spoken politician who is looking for the good in every person he meets.
But there is also another aspect of Obama. It was said about Gorbachev that he might have a nice smile, but behind is a will of iron. And the same can truly be said about Obama. Bill O’Reilly is a very tough person who interviewed Obama some months ago. When he was asked afterwards what surprised him most in the interview O’Reilly replied. ”He is stronger than I thought he was… He is determined… he is driven.”
During the election campaign several of the other candidates said that they were stronger than Obama, and thus they should be president. But they met their match in him. For ages the Democratic representatives in Congress has been a horde of much infighting. Harry Reid recently said that he is in the top but not the man who can unite this group. But Obama has already started to use his influence to impose discipline in Congress. I really hope he will succeed in this very difficult task. A leader needs
- Compassion – the loving heart and unselfishness is essential. We do not want a selfish leader who serves his own interests.
- Intelligence – the leader needs visions and must be intelligent so he knows how to create compassion in the society.
- Will-power – he must have the required will to fulfill his decisions.
