Your thoughts:
Is Obama using hypnosis to lock up the election? Secret signals which are to be turned on on Nov 4th?
Nah. He just bores you to death.
Hypnosis is not magic. Obama uses the techniques of a con-artist, which can come close to hypnosis, I guess. Now I’ll actually have to read the article ....
a bunch of whooey. We don’t need tinfoil hats on Free Republic.
you are getting sleepy, very, veeerrryyy sleeeeeppyyy ...
Hasn’t worked on me.
Well the only other way to explain how seemingly rational people swoon over him like a bunch of giggling school girls is that he is the Anti-Christ.
He stutters too much for this to be true. If he droned, I might buy it. ;-)
It doesn’t seem to be working on Republicans.
Now those same psychologists will need to explain why the technique only works on those already inclined to vote democratic.
everything I needed to know about flim-flam, I learned while selling used cars.
Milton was a communication genius. He was studied and modeled by the founders of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP).
Tony Robbins was a student of NLP. Bill Clinton hired Robbins to train his crew. I am not surprised that Obama is trained in these techniques. To the democrats, they understand that their message can suck but they can get elected if their delivery is powerful.
Hasn’t worked on me, either - there was a hypnotist on CSI last night who had bank tellers under her spell and were giving her ten grand a pop.
uh...uh.....uh.....uh.....you are getting sleepy.......uh...uh...uh...uh....uh you are verrrrrry relaxed......uh....uh.....uh.....
Is this going to be covered by Art Bell tonight??
God blessed Sen. Obama with the gift of charisma — the ability to make people love oneself on the basis of one’s personality alone. Charisma is the closest thing to a real-life “superpower” there is.
It’s a shame has a chosen to use his charisma to lead people down the wrong path.
NLP is very real. There are people out there that use it to pick up women. Interesting stuff. Now, whether 0bama is aware that he is using it is up for debate.
I’m FReeping from Scotland - a long planned vacation. A few nights ago we watched a BBC production on Obama vs the Pitbull. A journalist said he’d interviewed Obama & was just mesmerized by him, totally impressed. A couple of days later his wife read his notes & underlined all the places Obama had totally contradicted himself. The fellow hadn’t even noticed during the interview, even though he was writing it down.
An old SNL skit comes to mind.....the Subliminal Guy....hehe.
Almost everyone says that he is an "excellent speaker."
However, the content and organization of his speeches and the quality of their prose are quite ordinary and unimpressive on the printed page - unlike the speeches of a Lincoln or a Bryan.
His speeches themselves aren't excellent - his manner of delivering them is extremely soothing and reassuring.
