I’m not dissing hypnosis, I’m skeptical of Obama’s use of it.

Lighten up.

Your problem is that you are too focused on the word "hypnoses." It is not that you literally enter a trance and do what you are told, but rather the technique relies upon a suspension of disbelief, whether willing, or just inadvertent.

As the original article states:

“The only thing you need to do to break a negative hypnotic spell that has been cast on you is begin to think rationally, to begin to think critically. And if you decide that you choose this message as one that’s good for you, by all means sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride. But, if you decide that this is not something you want to have in your life, just simply analyze it, criticise it, ridicule it, and say “Hey, that’s not how the world works.” And you’ll have protected your mind from taking on board something which you really dont need.”

There is nothing tin foil hattish or diabolically sinister about this. The article is just emphasizing that Obama has figured out how to bypass and never address the critically rational parts of the brain of a large number of listeners.

Most of us would agree that that that is the obvious case with his supporters.

Quote from the article:

“However, a very small percentage of the population actually study subconscious manipulation of not only
how people feel about them, but how to manipulate and alter the beliefs we usually come to by our rational
judgment, reason, and experience ... Obama is an expert at this type of artificial manipulation.

In other words, Obama is a typical Demosocialist politican.
