In part it answers. I suspect that you have not seen him live. Women are often in tears when they listen to him live, and he mesmerizes many women.They do not hear a thing he says, its all in the way he says it. One fainted while listening to him at Dartmouth College today. Obama is just now learning how he can enthrall as a speaker. He knows how to work it. This makes him very dangerous.
As you say,he is all vapor, no substance, but he has a feral emotional appeal. Many politicians in the worlds past have had this ability. Very few used it for any good.
I think Obama is far more dangerous than anyone has credited him.He is bad. Very , very bad.And only a few have taken the time to actually find that out.
If you wish, you can look, but it will take a few minutes of systematic reading.
Thanks. Your impressions have been a big help.
See:
I have read about Obama. THe fascinating thing is he was, according to his book, of the opinion that his MOther’s attraction to third world men ruined her life. He was aware that she was attracted to black men and it made him uncomfortable and at the same time aware of the unconscious appeal of black men to white women.
He turned on his white family, the ones who educated him when his mother sent him to them while she stayed in Indonesia. These people, he rejected. His grandparents.
The man is fascinating, how he has understood and developed his identiy as a black man. I suspect he uses it, the sex appeal of the black man, very well.
That is the fainting you are seeing. Sexual attraction.
