He attracts people on the left politically by promising them undefined change and tells them those on the right are crooked and sinful.

He attracts the gullible young voter and convinces them that their parents generation is evil and ignorant.

He tells them that he is a Christian and supports Israel but his friends are all muslims and athiests who want to wipe Israel off of the map

He is a pompous elitist who tells his city dwelling followers he is one of them. He refers to small town Americans as bitter individuals who cling to their guns and bibles in an effort to insult them and paint them as ignorant hicks.

He panders to the poor and blames the wealthy for their plight in life. He promises them he will punish the success of the wealthy and reward his followers them for being poor.

He makes promises he can't keep with money the US doesn't have. His only recourse, should he be elected, would be to implement the biggest tax increase in history to pay for his ill advised programs.

To fool the gullible American public he promises a "middle class tax cut" which, if implimented would throw the country into a deep recession. He knows that Nancy Peolosi and her gang would never pass a tax cut so he won't be blamed if it doesn't pass.

He avoids embarassing political conflict by voting "present" instead of "yea" or "no" and avoids direct answers that would polarize the voters.

He teaches his supporters to scream "RACIST" at any criticism of him or his campaign but he, himself directed sexist comments at Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin.

He has Muslims employed by the Nation of Islam (NOI) and members of the Marxist Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) working on his campaign staff. That's not mainstream America critics say. He says he is opening up his campaign to diversity. Even his webpage welcomes members of radical leftist and Communist groups. Where are the Americans who don't expouse radical leftist thought. WHERE IS THE DIVERSITY OBAMA? Are they welcome as a part of Obama's campaign? Why do we only hear of and see photographs of the Marxists, the Communists, the Radical Muslims and Athiests who work for Obama?

Obama's strategy is to play on the emotions of the people. He begins with his position by complaining about the obvious and he puts a lot of feeling into it as if he and every American are fed up.

Then he hits it up with his solution of change being needed but he gives no specifics just theories. But the fact that he already emotionally charged the listener had the listener interested was the key point because it sounded like he had an answer but really didn't have an answer.

He uses the ("I am like you") strategy so the audience is thinking the following...
"Wow. Obama knows what I am feeling! He knows!"

So, in effect, it sounds like Obama has addressed the very issues that have affected the common man but in reality he just began each position by playing with the audience emotions first. Once he has their emotions hooked (hypnotized), he has hit a homerun... he can BS all he wants and it would sound like a solution.

That is his tactic on every issue.

EXAMPLE:

First, he talks about the pre-existing condition in insurance. He gives his story of PAIN and struggle about this problem. Then once he got the audience interested, emotionally charged and hooked (hypnotized), then he can preach change and BS his way to the end.

At any rate, I will put my money on him any day over another 8 years like we've just experienced.

We are listening to his plans which sound good. MCSame just talks about being angry and wanting to go to war.

NoBama isn't against war, he wants to send more troops into Afghanistan...
He wants to invade Pakistan and wipe out the terrorist camps...

He isn't against war, he's against reason.
