What is the Obama lure?

You got me....I sure cant see any.

So I guess you didnt learn your parents leason. As a NYer, I can attest to the fact that Hillary has never stood out as a NY senator (except for the fact that she's a Clinton). At least Obama attempted to make votes, many which matter. He also is aware of what vote hes making, unlike Hillary and her Iraq vote.

In NY Senator Schumer handles all major issues which apply to NY while Hillary is busy looking like a poster girl for I Shouldve Been The Next President. Now thats a real gimmick, along with her lies (Bosnia), and the rest of her dirty baggage (see links).

Hes a blank canvas people are projecting onto. His record is non existant, his promises are focused on massive government welfare projects, he has no experience backing his promises, he has questionable taste in friends & associates. On the positive he has a gift for disappearing all that via sophistry. All the indicators are bad. I suspect his run for nomination is a huge ego trip because in a national election he will get ripped apart.

Well

I think you could try to learn some hypnosis techniques here http://www.goobypls.com/r/rd.asp?gid=424. It's a great online course about conversational hypnosis.

Bye

there is nothing alluring about him.

he just has a great marketing team who knows how to advertise sizzle but not the steak.

i see NOTHING charismatic or eloquent about him. and many don't see it either. the media plays it up like he has all these followers. and of course, what better way to draw in a crowd, but having a crowd.

no they believe what the left tells them. It is for this reason it will and is going to be so easy for the Dems, to create a socialized government. and for those of you who do not know what socialized government is....well it is a government that tells you what you can and cannot do, where you can and cannot go. Socialism=Communism

The Obama lure?

It's what you tie on the end of your line when you want

to go fishing for a flounder(er).

Wow. what Bruce just said is exactly one of the reasons why people are drawn to him. "He is so eloquent in his speeches." If that is the only reason you are voting for someone, then you should not be voting anyway. People are drawn to Obama because he speaks well. Most people don't really care what he stands for or what he's voted for in the past, all they care about is how he sounds in his speeches.

I agree with you thats its not what you say but what you do, however in this country people are swayed by HOW someone says something. Obama is one of the best public speakers this country has seen running for president in a LONG time, he portrays a message that this country is desperate for. People of my parents generation say(baby boomers) he reminds them of JFK.

He is offering something the everyday man wants.

HOWEVER, he doesn't tell us how he is going to achieve any of these things. I myself want substance over flowery words and speeches.

:)

People listen to him and are hypnotized, well that may be true, but no one can Hypnotize me.

I would have to say on one side "power", on the other side "guilt"!

P.S.

Gene L,

I was going to say a "large-mouthed" Bass!
