Are any other Obama supporters feeling that same compulsion?

Oh my God I'm still laughing. It rememded me and I;m not a grear fan of Horrors but the Halloween thing with Michael Meyers. Remember I think it was the second or third one where they had those masks and then the kids watched the TV and the commercial did something to the kids. I hope I have the right show , this reminds me of that. Funny. I went to a Obama rally. It was a few weeks ago it was 80 out and we stood in line for hoyrs then stood waiting for him and I had 4 kids with me. I can tell you in all honestly. I was a lot of things and I loved seeing him but wasn't in a spell.

I am glad I have brought joy to your lives with this thread!
But the fact of the matter is that NLP and hypnosis techniques have been used by professionals for years. It is not merely fiction it is a real technique used. And it is frightening that anyone would use such a thing on people without their knowledge or consent.
there are many of you that proably would have laughed at the Wright brothers for their flying machine concept too but that does not mean that they did not have the knowledge to build it as we have experienced.
There are many medical techniques used that the laymen does not understand but that does not mean they are useless or do not work. the mind is a meticulously run organ in the body and most people could not even tell you how it begins to work or the thought process correlation it has with the rest of the body.
The sub conscious and how it works in the frame context to our thought process and on which is retained and which is not. The key words used to trigger those thoughts.
So yuck it up...
I find it appalling that this is being used on unsuspecting people and for self gain makes it even worse.

Obama is a very accomplished public speaker. I think the techniques are called oratory skills and are many millennia old. Hypnosis has nothing to do with being a great speaker.

Mother's join in. I have 4 kids still at home three are under 6 . I watch Obama at the same time they are screaming in my ear. here isn't any spell that could do anything to me that would break through three kids fighting and screaming in my ear. Sorry this is too odd. I don't think flying a plane is the same thing. Next Wedm when he is on I will try and not look or does hearing count too.

No, you have it all wrong. It's not an 'earthly' technique. Obama brought it with him from his home planet when he came down to the United States in his space machine. His goal of course was to run for the POTUS.

People are going about this investigation about where he was born all wrong. They need to go back further. Now that the records about the Roswell UFO's have been declassified, a careful search will uncover that Obama is actually an alien from outer space. His planets name is too long to post and absolutely unpronounceable. He was released from a metal (of unknown origins) pod. He escaped from the scientists when he fooled them into believing he was harmless. He did not resurface until his Senate run.

All the information about him before that time is fabricated. His alien hypnosis techniques carry further ramifications than you or I can even deign to imagine!! Michelle and his daughters are human but like the rest of us, are hopelessly under his hypnotic spell!!

Who can we turn to? Oh, please, somebody help us!

Did you all catch how at the bottom of each page this line was repeated---

EXPOSING OBAMA’S DECEPTION MAY BE THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT DEMOCRACY

So that if you scanned the entire article, it kept on coming up, over and over and over, kind of like a subliminal suggestion.

I particularly liked that the author, after 67 pages, doesn't sign a name.

And the remark about how younger people or more intelligent people are more susceptible to hypnotic suggestion? So, does that mean that the people who haven't succumbed are, um, less intelligent?

To the people who really believe this article, these are the same techniques used in everyday advertising. People who are running campaigns ARE selling a product. Both of the campaigns use standard advertising techniques. Seen the commercial with different people repeating "I am Joe the Plumber"?? Suggestive advertising, get it?
