It has been speculated that Obama is a master of NLP, a form of communication designed to bypass the rational part of the brain and engage the emotional part.
I think it's quite likely that his handlers know how to appeal to his audience's weak spots, and since they control most of the press are able to do so easily. And, in a world that has been preconditioned to believe in not God or logic or thought, but have been conditioned to believe in wishing, dreaming, hoping and wanting, the audience is easy prey for 0's brand of cynicism packaged as audacious hope.
Sitting in his seat, a seat broad and broken In, sprinkled with ashes, Pop switches channels, takes another Shot of Seagrams, neat, and asks What to do with me, a green young man Who fails to consider the Flim and flam of the world, since Things have been easy for me; I stare hard at his face, a stare That deflects off his brow; I'm sure he's unaware of his Dark, watery eyes, that Glance in different directions, And his slow, unwelcome twitches, Fail to pass. I listen, nod, Listen, open, till I cling to his pale, Beige T-shirt, yelling, Yelling in his ears, that hang With heavy lobes, but he's still telling His joke, so I ask why He's so unhappy, to which he replies . . . But I don't care anymore, cause He took too damn long, and from Under my seat, I pull out the Mirror I've been saving; I'm laughing, Laughing loud, the blood rushing from his face To mine, as he grows small, A spot in my brain, something That may be squeezed out, like a Watermelon seed between Two fingers. Pop takes another shot, neat, Points out the same amber Stain on his shorts that I've got on mine and Makes me smell his smell, coming From me; he switches channels, recites an old poem He wrote before his mother died, Stands, shouts, and asks For a hug, as I shink, my Arms barely reaching around His thick, oily neck, and his broad back; 'cause I see my face, framed within Pop's black-framed glasses And know he's laughing too.
What does Obama say to the former communications director for the 1992 U.S. presidential campaign of Bill Clinton, and former White House Communications Director and former Democratic Senior Advisor for Policy and Strategy?
"Look, you and I both know..." and as the interview unfolds Stephanopoulos guides Obama through his answer like a coach so that he can make his desired points.
And then THEY call this "the news"?
