I have no doubt that Obama uses subliminal suggestivities
in his approach,
but to extrapolate that to mass hynosis is a bit severe.
All politicians learn to be actors.
Obama is an actor and a comedian.
Obama is excellent at hand movements and facial expressions.
He is also very intelligent.
Now compare him to the opposition.
Not too hard to get anybody's attention shifting to your point of view...
when Quasimodo and Barbie Bumble Doll are the opponents.
