This is not adding to the list but simply adding a note of clarification.

Obama learned by watching Jeremiah Wright that there is money and power in seeking followers who can be emotionally manipulated.

Emotional people offer Obama a great advantage over rational followers.

First, their enthusiasm and energy can be easily manipulated by empty, but specious arguments.

Second, emotional people are more easily hypnotized than rational thinkers because they not only permit but even hunger for speakers to appeal directly to their unconscious, uncritical minds (if done so with "emotional" arguments and suggestions that satisfy their need for emotion expression).

Obama doesn't just want to appeal to emotional followers, he has expanded his army by appealing to the emotional side of otherwise rational people and whipping up that personality aspect (mass meetings are great for this) until the emotional aspect of a person overwhelms their critical thinking (call this process conversational hypnosis...because these sorts are wide awake when they drink the Kool-Ade).

We've seen it all before (Jeremiah Wright and Father Pfleger are masters at it), but never has anyone done it as well as Obama.

Even Hitler was working with a cohesive group (Germans) and appealing to their singular cultural iconography (Germanic myth and nationalism).

Obama has deceptively coalesced a wide swath of extremely different American cultures...he has pulled together a group that consists of Jewish intellectuals, poor blacks and hispanics, radical feminists, union thugs,atheists, black militants, college kids, Satanists/Luciferians, college professors, etc.

One would not normally think such a group would have a common thread (and I don't believe they do).

What Obama has done (though fallacious/specious argument, lies, trickery, and hypnosis) is appeal to the purely emotional commonality of this wide range of potential followers.

He has created an army of zombies.

The big question is not how to we combat this army...the BIG question is "how do we wake them up?"

BTW, all this raises the question of how Obama came by this ability...it makes one wonder if this is what the Prophet Daniel meant by "understanding dark sentences" (Dan 8:23).

The Ram is the Great Alliance. The 2 horns are Europe and the US. They have each been weakened by the specter of the he goat.
The goat is Communism and its 2 allies, Marxist Mohammedanism and world banks. It breaks the power of the Alliance and dominates with dark sentences.
The goat oppresses the great visions of the Alliance: dignity and personal and economic freedom.
God will not be mocked. The he Goat will be brought down after 4 years of its reign.

But indeed, they do have a common thread: envy. Whether or not it's even real, Obama and the left have forged the perception of disparity between classes, races and genders, and carefully fostered a seething rage towards the perceived "haves". This is their common thread; this is what binds his followers. It allows them to blame the world around them for their misfortune, and alleviates them from all responsibility for their present condition. Contrived as it is, it takes no effort to glom onto this line of thinking.

When you deconstruct the Ohaha coalition, you find that each segment shares similar ambitions........ ambitions that they expect Ohaha to fulfill.

Fulfilling his coalition's ambitions is the organizing element. Ohaha's anti-American exceptionalism, his socialism, radicalism and divisiveness feed into this deadly web.

Keep in mind, Ohaha has authorized a government expansion that will create more debt in the next four years than previous presidents have created since our nation began.

And if you examine who benefits by these actions, you find the self-same coalition that SODS listed.

In summation: we lose; they win.
