> 3. People actually study this and the article is about the fact that NLP trainers are using Obama videos to train people in NLP techniques.

Quick! Send the cops around to Anthony Robbins — he ought to be arrested for teaching NLP (or NAC as he calls it) He’s brainwashing people into buying more of his CDs!

If Obama is training his people to use NLP then he is doing nothing more nor less than you can do yourself, in the privacy of your own home, by subscription to the CD programs offered on the never-ending infomercials by Anthony Robbins.

If that is what he is doing, then good on ‘im: I’ve subscribed to Anthony Robbins’ CDs and found them to be quite valuable. That doesn’t mean that I can do mind control or hypnosis or any of the hysterical nonsense being alluded to on this thread.

> 1. Obviously his tactics don’t work on us for whatever reason. That doesn’t mean they don’t work.

NLP will not make someone do something that they do not want to do. Same with hypnosis. That is why Obama’s tactics do not work on us. Which is pretty mundane and unexciting, when you think about it.

> 2. He only needs it to work on 50.1% of the voters.

NLP will not make you vote Obama if you weren’t going to vote Obama in the first place. All it will do is present Obama in the best light that he can. He cannot do mind control with NLP. Not even on 50.1% of the voters.

> 4. But even that isn’t really the point. The NLP trainers know one of their own and to deny he is using what he is obviously using seems weird to me

I deny he is using hypnosis and mind control. He may well be using NLP. If he is, as I’ve said he’s no more dangerous than someone who has studied Tony Robbins.

I’d find it hillarious if one single expert would identify himself and claim that Obama is using NLP to mind-control people, staking his professional reputation on his opinion.

Much as I’d like it to happen, it ain’t gonna. Because it can’t.
