Charisma vs. Glamor

I think I posted on the topic before, but I do find it pretty interesting. Is Obama charismatic or glamorous. One is good, the other, potentially dangerous.

"Charisma is a personal quality that inspires followers to embrace the charismatic leader's agenda (an agenda that, in the original sense of the word charisma, is seen as divinely inspired.) Glamour, by contrast, encourages the audience to project its own yearnings onto the glamorous figure."
