Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Dear 'Leaders' ... you need a sense of humour.
The election has got boring again. The leaders are saying the same thing over and over. The camera crews aren't bothering too much with other members of the parties. It's just Clegg, Cameron & Brown. It's boring. Why is that?
Take a look at this.
Ah yes, a sense of humour. An ability to step back and see the wider picture, the real world, to see things for what they are; that politics isn't about navel gazing, self obsession. A sense of humour. That's what we need from our 'dear leaders'. For they're going to need one if they get into Downing Street.

As much as I hate seeing Obama put on a pedestal, that was a first class performance. Thanks for the link Matt.

Orator: An eloquent and skilled public speaker. That is Obama and this is so brilliantly shown in the excerpt of that speech to 'correspondents'. He has the ability of putting the audience at ease and inspiring confidence. We unfortunately see a lack of this ability in the three contenders for leader in the UK electon.

Politics is a serious business, most of the time.
The difference is that Barack Obama is just one year into a four year term as President and he can afford to display his undoubted good sense of humour.
Of our three contenders, one is probably on the point of losing power and the other two are anxious about gaining power. Not much humour material for any of them. After the election, the new prime minister will be able to relax and crack jokes ...
