George Mention: Barack Obama

Sure, he [Barack Obama] is on easy street at the moment — and not really tested politically — but he oozes charisma. In fact for just plain sex appeal, Obama is right up there with George Clooney. Last April he shared a press conference with the Hollywood actor to elevate the crisis in Darfur. They had to shut the doors to the room of the National Press Club leaving many young women bereft outside. They had come to see Clooney but it was Obama who carried the room. I asked him afterwards if he outdid Clooney. “Man, I’m just a dim lightbulb compared to that guy.” (The Australian)
