Does Barack Obama speak pleasantly?
I am amazed by how differently Chineses and American feel about Obama. Many in China feel it a pity that the eye candy Palin is not elected. Many are annoyed that they have to watch Obama, who is not handsome at all, often in the TV news in the coming 4 years
Do the Chinese consider Obama 'tainted' or something? I thought that was their forte? They should like him!
Obama has nothing to do with 'tainted', but he has something to do with following English phrases
All mouth, no trousers
All hat and no cattle
All talk, no action
He talks the talk but can't walk the walk
Talks a good game
Whichever version you use, the meaning is the same : empty boasting.

I might be shallow, but I am not alone, I don't mind to be one of those who would love to see a lovely and delightful face in the TV.
I am definitely not racist, whether Obama is white or African-American won't change my impression about him. I merely comment on his speech style

Claria, are you serious?
You'd vote for someone to be President based on their looks alone? I cannot believe that Chinese people think like that.

Sadly in our democratic systems even the most shallow and frivolous of people have the right to vote.

Chinese firmly believe that one's look is somewhat related to ones' heart and mind. A kind, caring person will look amiable. Chinese always apply such theory in their social life.
There is a widely circulated Chinese old Saying" 相由心生" which expresses such idea. I wonder if there is any English phrase with similar meaning?

...but they make up the majority of the electorate.

US president Abraham Lincoln once said: "Every man over forty is responsible for his face."
What did he really mean? Does the sentence convey message similar to the old Chinese saying I just mentioned?
