Odds are, a bunch of FReepers have considered the Obama/Rorchach connection. I think you'll appreciate this take on that connection.

People who genuinely want change to occur, ought to be concerned with what change should happen? How it should be done? Who will benefit from it? Who will pay for it? These are logical questions about any public policy issue, from elementary school education to global thermonuclear war. Do the favorable responses to Obama indicate people who are too impatient to ask such obvious questions such as who, what, when, where, why and how? Great post Bilybob. Thanks.

The only “hope” and “change” Obama wants.....
He “hopes” to “change” his address to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave...

Very good job, John. I like that you've taken the Rorchach idea beyond the superficial of "see what they want to see" into the subconcious aspect. Many people miss that, I think.
Also, I believe that excluding Federalist from the public school curricula has been one of the most effective methods of liberal takeover of this country.
Though I would not likely support Hamilton on many things, if he were taken out of historical context, his point about the Electoral College is being demonstrated so well. Why we discard wisdom is beyond me.

Note the spelling. I misspelled it, but it seems that John did in places, too. :-)

Give any thought to forwarding this to Charles Krauthammer?

Like cotton candy at a carnival, they are spun with energy and heat from a teaspoon of sugar into a quart of confection. But, the candy melts down to nothing when one delves for factual content. That is an AWESOME piece of writing, and spot on about the Obamessiah!

Some more “factual content” about Obama!

What results from the use of the Rorschach Test in psychiatry? The paradox of the ink blots is that people with specific emotional states will see similar results in the same blot. Others, who do not share that emotional state, will not see that. What the test reveals is not the fact of whats really on the paper. It reveals, instead, the emotional predilection of the patient. Now, with an understanding of what a Rorschach test is, we can judge the common use of that phrase with respect to Barack Obama and certain of his speeches. First, the phrase applies because there is no content in Barack Obamas speeches. Like cotton candy at a carnival, they are spun with energy and heat from a teaspoon of sugar into a quart of confection. But, the candy melts down to nothing when one delves for factual content. Like Rorschachs blots, the candidate and his speeches have no objective meaning. The viewers conclusions come from the viewer, and nowhere else.
Second, because theres no real content, there are no right or wrong responses. The only reason to track the viewers responses is to look for patterns. Do certain people with certain emotional predilections have common responses? If so, who are they, and what are their psychiatric states?
This is a very good explaination of the Obama worshipers vs. Obama phobes. Love that cotton candy analogy. Can I use it?

Glad you liked the piece, and the analogy. Please feel free to reuse it as you choose. But remember to spell my name right. It's “Armor.” The folks who went into the meatpacking business in Chicago misspelled the name at Ellis Island. I've been bedeviled with that surplus “u” ever since.

Charles comes up with his own stuff, which I greatly and consistently admire. I'm sure he's thought of this analogy, also.

The folks who went into the meatpacking business in Chicago misspelled the name at Ellis Island. The scourge that is the "government worker" has plagued us from it's inception. And I will get it right, as I don't work any where near the government. ;)

That is a great quote from Hamilton. I did not remember that.

Thanks for the “factual content” about Obama.
I was surprised at his ability to handle the press and am half convinced that what he says is absolutely true.

“I was surprised at his ability to handle the press and am half convinced that what he says is absolutely true.”
I also noticed that he answered every question and follow up question from the reporters and gave details that certainly could be checked out and verified. Whether there are any reporters that will actually check out the information Sinclair gave them remains to be seen. Of course Obama would need to release his phone records and schedules for those short time frames Sinclair mentioned. If Obama did that he could verify whether Sinclair is a liar or telling the truth. I just don’t think Obama will release his phone records and schedules or will he be asked to by the media who loves him or by the Chicago PD. The only way the information will be verified true or not is if there are honest reporters and cops who want to actually investigate.
