Daniel Henninger had an excellent column on Obama in the Feb. 14 issue of The Wall Street Journal, "Obama at the Top," pointing out the "unremitting bleakness" of Obama's view of America--as if we were in the midst of the Great Depression.

Comparing Obama and McCain, Henninger sees McCain's speeches as positive (as when he said Americans are not history's victims), whereas Obama relentlessly pushes victimology.

That could have a bearing on who will win in November, assuming the Clintons don't find a way to eliminate Obama, but maybe Obama will be able to get past the election before the spell is broken.

Obama’s overpowering charisma

Sorry, yet to be overpowered.

Even some people who professed to have disagreed with the Nazis grudgingly claimed that Hitler was a "a spellbinding speaker.''

With Obama we now have an instance in which comparisons to Hitler are historically accurate and apt. If you read a speech by either one you will be bored and unmoved, as opposed to the reaction of those who listen to it being delivered.

At this point, many people are sick of Hillary and her dreadful speaking style and the Clinton thug tactics. Eventually, they will realize that Obama is a Marxist.

Well, when they do they can turn to the GOP and we will offer them the great alternative..................uh, suddenly I hear Willie Nelson singing,”I gotta get drunk and I shore do dread it, cause I know just what I’m gonna do”.

To me, Omama is nothing more than a Black Jimmy Swaggart.

Swaggart had considerable musical ability, can Obama play and sing?

Reading the speech, you miss the orator's voice, cadence, delivery, and body language, all of which are important parts of hypnosis:

Speech Cadence - This is the pace at which you speak while inducting a subject into a state of hypnosis. It's hard to teach -- trial, error, and practice will show you what cadence works best. Many hypnotists recommend timing your words with the pace that your subject is breathing.

Tone of Voice - A deep but warm voice is what I have seen the most successful hypnotist use. Your voice should project from your diaphragm, not from your throat or nose.

Rapport - Building rapport with your subject is also very important. Rapport builds trust. Rapport is the process of making an unconscious connection. Matching body language, breathing patterns, etc, with your subject can create this connection. Read more about Rapport in our advanced articles section.

Obama spent many years as an "organizer", where he spent his days using Alinsky's techniques to create rapport and control on his audiences. Obama and Bill Clinton know how to master and control an audience, Hillary does not. Neither does Bush

I am Black ..... and FREE, make no mistakes. Anyone who thinks they are still enslaved is weak and has not sense of what this country is. Yes, there was a time that we were oppressed, but NOW you are only limited to where your own hard work and imagination can take you.

From the article; “But you can’t create a quality product with a government mandate, you can’t unionize workers into productivity, and you can’t regulate an industry into competitiveness.”

Well, of course you can if you have ‘hope’. If you have ‘hope’ you can have ‘anything’.

Your point is well taken, but the overall German casualties in World War II amounted to over 10 million.

Oops. I mis-read the chart. It actually shows the total military + civilian deaths closer to 8 million.
