Live Thread- Obambi's Shamwow Infomercial

[mnehring]

For those of us who want to watch and analyze, here is a live thread.

If you feel like not giving Obambi the ratings, no one will fault you. You can check here for notes on gaffes, bs, or other flubs by the Obmessiah.

How can there be gaffes when he’s reading it from a Teleprompter?

[mnehring]

Don't forget to pick up some of this.

[mnehring]

Never underestimate the Obmessiah’s power of the gaffe.

Sitting through that is far beyond the call of duty.

For me to watch this would be like a drunk drinking a bottle of antibuse. Can’t do it, I have too much money tied up in my t.v.

For those who want to watch for NLP use, here are some things to watch for. (Let's call them out).

Using the Milton Model, making vague statements after having the listener visualize a situation, thus, putting themselves in the situation.

Changing up and using listener's representational systems (not sticking to one when speaking to a large audience, focusing on one (Now Look w/ McCain for example), when dealing with one person trying to get a reaction out of them.)

Visual Imagery, he always paints pictures of concepts.

Rhythm in speaking.

Swish moments, like suddenly changing subject, hitting a podium, etc.

Using the ‘six step reframe’ often when he tries to sway undecided, the behavior to change is not supporting him. Value reframing when he tries to make a negative aspect appear positive.. etc.. IMHO, using the six step reframe is one of the more sinister if you watch for it.

Hand gestures, such as extending or pointing with the middle finger when talking about McCain, tapping his own forehead when saying something positive, etc.

Wait, that stuff actually works, unlike Obama supporters that will never work.. unless it's for the big show to celebrate the day of the birth of their dear and fearless leader's ascension.

Why is it I can never change the channel when that infomercial is on?
