Rita,

President Obama was very charismatic! He had the ability to walk into a room and change the whole atmosphere without saying a word. It's who he is, it's that air of confidence in "We The People" that made him comfortable. He knew we were with him, he knew we believed in him and I think in this case persuasiveness was used from both ends. He persuaded us to giving him a chance to fix the crippling economy, to lower employment rates,  to offer healthcare to all Americans and because we knew we needed him we rallied behind him in great numbers and persuaded him to continue to fight for the presidency. YES WE CAN was very persuasive and it became his slogan, and eight years later YES WE DID! 

Romell,

Charisma is a very important trait to have, and being able to remain calm in certain situations is also very important. President Obama was given by Rita as a person with charisma. I agree with both of you guys. a calm demeanor as a leader give makes us believe that you will take your time and consider all factors when tensions are high. He was smart and confident and caring. He moved us and touched our hearts in a way that no other President as done. He will never be forgotten. 

I just posted it again because I don't see my original.

Compare and contrast: Talks about and simplifies the differences and and similarities between two people, places, or things.Charisma is something someone has. Persuasion is disputing something to promote change. Michael Jackson had charisma that could felt across the world.  We have so many people that have the power to persuade for good, but here is a list of people the used that power for evil.  Such people as Adolf Hitler, Saddam Hussein, and Charles Manson are just some examples persuasion gone badly. Having this power in business gives a person a huge advantage when trying to sell an ideal or product.  Having charisma that a person can feel before you even begin to speak on an ideal or product could be half the battle.
