CHARISMATIC? Either Mr. Muto doesn't understand the meaning of the word, or else he has never seen Peña Nieto, nor heard him speak. The President-elect is a joke among many well educated Mexicans because he is sooo bad as a public speaker, and he is absolutely terrible trying to handle a serious interview. He doesn't appear to have a personality, and is as stiff as Al Gore and as charismatic as Dan Quayle. How sad to give a writer an assignment and have it turn out as bad as this.
