Maybe. I guess that's why so many people annoy me.

Catchy is okay but the catchy has to be cool as well. Obama just said HOPE and all of America bought in because Obama has charisma and when he's talking to you, you don't think it's all bullshit.

Canadian politicians typically aren't very charismatic, really. Justin Trudeau will win the next election on charisma alone. I mean, try to explain the difference between Barrack Obama and Stephen Harper.
