It

My husband was flipping through the DirecTV channels a few days back while I sat next to him on the sofa, flipping through the newspaper. Barack Obama was on TV, on Comedy Central's The Daily Show. My husband and I, though we each identify with a different political party, both commented that we find him incredibly appealing as someone we'd like to know personally. He's intelligent, his smile is infectious, he speaks with consideration, and he just has that intangible "it". He strikes us as someone wonderful to be stuck next to on an airplane.
