On November 4, 2008, America changed. On that day, an inexperienced candidate with a scant resume and views that contrasted with the majority of the population was elected to the most powerful office in the world, the Presidency of the Unites States of America. Brand Obama is an ongoing series that chronicles the powerful psychological techniques used in this improbable campaign.
Axelrod had one main problem: How to maintain support when his candidate was easily attackable on many fronts. He was selling a facade without much foundation. In the face of relentless attacks from a professional political adversery, how could Axlerod keep the faith. Surpringly, modern psychology offered a simple yet effective technique that would not only increase support but strengthen that supports resistance to attack.
So fairly bound? O, that deceit should dwell
In such a gorgeous palace!”

Very appropriate and a teachable moment for Barry Soetoro lurkers wizkid. Thanks.
>Brand Obama: Inoculation & the Art of Persuasion
Yes; people should be inoculated against Obama Persuasion.
Thank you for the kind comment.
I have just added more detail to the post regarding the surprising origins of Inoculation Theory.
It came out of research on the brainwashing of US POWs during the Korean War.
“Inoculation Theory”...I’ve never heard of it before your post. Thanks much ‘kid. Fascinating. BTTT!
