We couldn't have a woman, wearing a hijab, serve children food at a cafeteria, after the Christmas pageant, in a school called Holy Name of Jesus because that would be state endorsement of Islam.

I think the last charisma-less president was GHWB, and he only got the one term.

The secret is that "charisma" is no more objectively real than "intelligence" in that each represents a whole lot of separate and really subjective skills that might not mean much to a given person or in a given situation, so it's easy to not get why so many people are just obsessed by the charm of (insert loser.)

It's like one of the background X-Men with silly powers, only he used it to become President. Also assault. So maybe a background Brotherhood of Evil Mutants member.
