I interviewed several young people in line to hear President Obama speak Wednesday afternoon in Quincy, Illinois. Through those interviews, I discovered they share one thing in common: blissful ignorance.
For the most part, the young people -- most of whom described themselves as college students -- were excited about seeing the president, but short on details about what made them dyed-in-the-wool Obama supporters.
The president was in Quincy as the third stop of his White House to Main Street Tour and used the occasion to call for tighter government controls on the nation's financial sector (a.k.a., the people he regards as "the evil villains on Wall Street").
QUINCY? You mean they had to run this gauntlet of bloodthirsty racists? Thank GAWD the SWAT teams were there!
Team Obama called out a swat team in full riot gear to keep those pesky Tea Party patriots from violent protests. No, this has not been Photshopped.

EXERPTS from ‘Understanding Obama; The making of the Fuhrer:
http://www.faithfreedom.org/obama.html
>When you fall for someone to the extent that Obama’s followers have fallen for him, you surrender your reason and individuality to him willingly. When millions of people surrender their hearts and their minds to one person the result can be catastrophic. This is what happened in Germany with Hitler, in China with Mao, in the Soviet Union with Stalin, in Cuba with Castro, in Iran with Khomeini, and so on and so forth. Today, we think these men were monsters, but that was not what millions of their worshipers thought. Those people loved them. Dictators can’t dictate, unless peole are willing to be dictated.
>According to Vaknin, Obama displays the following behaviors, which are among the hallmarks of pathological narcissism:
- Subtly misrepresents facts and expediently and opportunistically shifts positions, views, opinions, and “ideals” (e.g., about campaign finance, re-districting). These flip-flops do not cause him overt distress and are ego-syntonic (he feels justified in acting this way). Alternatively, refuses to commit to a standpoint and, in the process, evidences a lack of empathy.
- Ignores data that conflict with his fantasy world, or with his inflated and grandiose self-image. This has to do with magical thinking. Obama already sees himself as president because he is firmly convinced that his dreams, thoughts, and wishes affect reality. Additionally, he denies the gap between his fantasies and his modest or limited real-life achievements (for instance, in 12 years of academic career, he didn’t publish a single scholarly paper or book).
- Feels that he is above the law.
- Talks about himself in the 3rd person singluar or uses the regal “we” and craves to be the exclusive center of attention, even adulation
- Has a messianic-cosmic vision of himself and his life and his “mission”.
- Sets ever more complex rules in a convoluted world of grandiose fantasies with its own language (jargon)
- Displays false modesty and unctuous “folksiness” but is unable to sustain these behaviors (the persona, or mask) for long. It slips and the true Obama is revealed: haughty, aloof, distant, and disdainful of simple folk and their lives.
- Sublimates aggression and holds grudges.
- Behaves as an eternal adolescent (e.g., his choice of language, youthful image he projects, demands indulgence and feels entitled to special treatment, even though his objective accomplishments do not justify it).
Obama’s speeches are grandiose. They are other worldly. He may talk about the war in Iraq, taxes or social security. It does not matter how mundane is the subject, he makes them sound transcendental and his audience is moved to tears. His worshippers do not go to listen to his plans. He has yet to offer any that is workable and different. They go to bask in his glory, to get high. Obama presents himself as someone with a unique vision and grasp of the entire problems affecting, not just the nation but the world, a pretense that is incomensurate with his track record. When in a meeting with House Democrats waxing lyrical about his trip to Europe, he concluded, “this is the moment, as Nancy [Pelosi] noted, that the world is waiting for.” The world is waiting for Obama, according to Obama. In one of his rallies he reiterated this delusion of grandiosity and said, “We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.” This sentence is logically absurd. What actually Obama wanted to say, which he masked with fake modesty is “I am the one the world has been waiting for.”
>Cult of Personality:
“A cult of personality or personality cult arises when a country’s leader uses mass media to create a heroic public image through unquestioning flattery and praise. Cults of personality are often found in dictatorships but can be found in some democracies.
> Look how millions of people literally worship Obama. With some people I cannot even talk about Obama. They cannot tolerate any criticism of him. They get angry and, not only they want to end the conversation but threaten to end the friendship. I am familiar with this kind of religious devotion to a person. The reaction that I get from Obama worshippers is similar to that of Muslims when their prophet is criticized. They are even prone to insult you. See how they overlook Obama’s blatant lies and are willing to forgive his major sins such as racism. Note how the mainstream media bends the rules, twists the facts, exaggerates Obama’s little virtues, absolves his sins, and even lies to sell him to the public. Compare the royal treatment that the liberal press has given to Obama to how unfairly they treat Governor Palin; how they smear her character and belittle her experience and achievement. ABC’s Charlie Gibson’s interview with Governor Palin was a stain on journalistic integrity. Is it more important that Palin has not traveled the world and has not shaken hands with heads of states, or the fact that Obama has lied so many times? Under what pretext should an ordinary citizen visit heads of foreign states? The question itself is preposterous.
>While not shaking hands with foreign heads of states does not disqualify one to run for any office, The Logan Act (est. 1799) makes it a crime for a citizen to confer with foreign governments against the interests of the United States. Specifically, it prohibits citizens from negotiating with other nations on behalf of the United States without authorization.
That is exactly what Obama did during his trip to Iraq, a charge that Obama’s national security spokeswoman Wendy Morigi confirmed, while trying to deny it. She said, “In fact, Obama had told the Iraqis that they should not rush through a ‘Strategic Framework Agreement’ governing the future of US forces until after President George W. Bush leaves office.”
This is high treason. Ordinary citizens have no right to enter into negotiations with foreign countries and make deals against the interest of their Government. Obama tells the Iraqis not to let the American soldiers go, so he can call them in January, supposedly when he is the president and claim victory for himself. Will Mr. Gibson or anyone in the liberal media question Obama for this crime?
>The narcissist’s anger and intolerance is projected on his servile followers who also become angry and intolerant of criticism of their leader. Remember the sick symbiosis between the narcissist and his codependents? The followers get their narcissistic supply by elevating the status of their leader. The greater he looks, the better they feel. They see their glory is his glory. Conversely, when the narcissist is criticized, his followers become offended. They take those criticisms personally and their instinct of self defense is triggered. They will become vigilantes and will silence their critics through intimidation, bullying, mocking, threats and violence (like calling those who disagree with Obama, racists).
>Narcissists are amoral. They consider themselves to be above the law. Once in power, they will try to strengthen their hold by surrounding themselves with equally amoral people.
>Narcissists are often callous and even ruthless. As the norm, they lack conscience.
>Not surprisingly, Adolph Hitler also wrote his own autobiography when he was still nobody. So did Stalin. For a narcissist no subject is as important as his own self. Why would he waste his precious time and genius writing about insignificant things when he can write about such an august being as himself?
>The downside of this is that if Obama turns out to be the disaster I predict, he will cause widespread resentment among the whites. The blacks are unlikely to give up their support of their man. They are in a state of trance. They truly believe Obama is their messiah. He is the fruition of their long quest for black power. Cultic mentality is pernicious and unrelenting. They will dig their heads deeper in the sand and blame Obama’s detractors of racism. This will cause a backlash among the whites. The white supremacists will take advantage of the discontent and they will receive widespread support. It is unlikely that Whites would ever devolve to racism, but all it takes is a substantial number of disaffected people to fuel the flames of racial tension. I predict that in less than four years, racial tensions in America will increase to levels never seen since the turbulent 1960s. Obama will set the clock back decades. Despite his campaign rhetoric he has been a racist all his life. He will interpret any dissent as a rejection of his racial identity. As resentment towards him increases, so will his paranoia. He will grow distrustful of the whites and will surround himself with the blacks and other yesmen with whom he identifies himself. America’s near future is bleak.
>America is the bastion of freedom. The peace of the world depends on the strength of America, and its weakness translates into the triumph of terrorism and victory of rogue nations. It is no wonder that Ahmadinejad, Hugo Chavez, the Castroists, the Hezbollah, the Hamas, the lawyers of the Guantanamo terrorists and virtually all sworn enemies of America are so thrilled by the prospect of their man in the White House. America is on the verge of destruction. There is no insanity greater than electing a pathological narcissist as president.

Simple. They all wanted The Kodak Moment of a minority in The White House.
It certainly wasn't because of Obama's accomplishments.
TEA partiers aren’t the scary people out there in the country—it’s CLUELESS, IGNORANT, “I LOVE HIM BECAUSE HE’S BLACK” BUT I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT HIS QUALIFICATIONS OR ANTI-AMERICAN POLICIES, “I VOTED FOR HIM JUST BECAUSE HE WAS THE DEMOCRAT CANDIDATE”—these are the SCARY people. :-(
Time to read, ‘Revolt of the Masses’!! (or time for a re-read of that book)
Here's a link to a paper which discusses this matter in great detail...An Examination of Obama’s Use of Hidden Hypnosis Techniques in His Speeches.
Here's another paper on the same subject produced by the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, Inc. entitled Oratory—or hypnotic induction?
That's news?
I have yet to meet even a single 0bamabot”youth” that made any sense as to why the voted for this guy. I have chatted to quite a few of them at places like Central Park, and come away shaking my head at just how clueless they are about anything that's going on. What do they teach them in school these days anyways? Stupidity?
OMG! Most of them can not even complete a sentence coherently. “I don’t know, I just love him!!” Wow, oh wow.
Well, we knew it was going to be hard work. This plan has been going on for so long that they actually waited for their manipulation of our education system to produce a generation of.... of.... Obama voters. Geez!
It can be fixed, they can be educated. I guess we’ll have to give them a beat-down (in the election) first, and afterwards try to show them how they have been deceived.
It is going to be difficult because we basically let this happen. We let them do this to our children because we trusted them. And we didn’t think we needed to watch the “peace lovers” as closely as the communists. Unfortunately for us - the communists disguised themselves as flower children.
What a frakkin’ mess!
This picture should be worth several million votes!
These three look like man-hating “Red-Hat” “females”.
It’s called a cult:
Obamanutz: A Cult Leader Takes the White House
http://joytiz.com/obamanutz-a-cult-leader-takes-the-white-house/
What’s disturbing is when people you know as erstwhile conservatives, who’ve owned their own businesses or served their country in uniform and have been lifelong Republicans... become ensnared in 0bamalust and are never the same again.
It doesn’t matter that 0bama had no quantifiable accomplishments in his life. Oh, they may harbor private misgivings about his qualifications to lead the country, but no matter... they just adore HIM. They’ll cast out all semblance of good, common sense and replace it with the twin mantras of “hope” and “change.”
They will tolerate no disagreement about 0bama, and are shown to be quite ready to terminate long-standing friendships and familial relationships over any criticism, regardless of how benign of their Messiah... almost as if they’ve sold their souls for him.
It is truly a bizarre, cult-like phenomenon.
Go for it. :)
Is Barack Obama the Messiah?
"... a light will shine through that window, a beam of light will come down upon you, you will experience an epiphany ... and you will suddenly realize that you must go to the polls and vote for Obama" - Barack Obama Lebanon, New Hampshire. January 7, 2008.
Obama is our "Light-Worker" our "messiah"
Noticed it was women, a black dude and younger women. So the categories might be race, students and women. The men there may have showed up because their wives wanted to see Obama and have him autograph one of their glamor magazines that you always see him in if you got to the checkout line of your supermarket. Many were delightfully vague — vague is a delight to these people because they can’t be accused of anything — but their faces and tone shone with Obama approval. Wait till their kids are eating dog food and see if they come back to see the superstar.
We have to get control of the government first.
