[quote=Anonymous]I've met Speaker Pelosi and most of her team, and they are charming and friendly:  she's petite, but I wouldn't call her short.  She looks much younger than her actual age.

My husband's law school graduation speaker was Rev. Jesse Jackson, who was struggling mightily with a recent fracture and was clearly not himself.  It was so disappointing, mainly because so many had anticipated this great speech and storied speaker and everything was flat.  It was a time I truly wished for do-overs.

I'll never forget seeing Bill Clinton while he was shopping for the holidays during his first term. Iwas in my late 20's.   It was at Georgetown Mall and was of course a staged photo op, but the sheer charisma surrounding him...his smile radiated across the Mall, literally.  I saw him again over 20 years later, and that same presence was "there," again,  even when I was at a considerable difference.  Both situations illuminated what a magnetic presence can "feel" like, and I could imagine how that same presence could be very disruptive even as it could channel a lot of good works.
