How do you deal with Obama as a Political Figure?
I have noticed that Obama's philosophy is a lot like Lincoln's in terms of ideas, approach, and (mannerisms).
I have noticed that he quote's Reagan occasionally who was an ideological politician.
Each speech is the same with some new ideas added in each town hall meeting.
He does not like the microscope of a TV Camera because he cannot relax with it on.
Is he a Rascist?
I am beginning to think he is something a feminine male with vampire tendencies.
His smile and eyes seem to have a hypnotic effect on people including politicians.
That's not unlike Reagan had after his assassination attempt. Folk Hero as Tip O'Neil described it.
How to overcome it? Most African Americans did not like Reagan or they were quiet about their support of him.
Reagan was in his element with a prepared speech as is Obama. However, Reagan was not as formidable without one.
Obama is like a chocolate eclair or a sponge. Bright, able to absorb new ideas, and telegenic. Under the stress of a campaign without true preparation he's at sea.
He is smarter than Reagan, more skilled at manuever, and just as telegenic.
Reagan was more personable, more backbone, and better ideas.
How do you avoid the Hypnotism?
Turn away for a moment and make a determination that I am not going to be ensnared in his charisma and speaking ability.
He can't handle interruptions, contradictions, or combativeness of people particularly when it is in his town hall meetings.
He fit's in with Star Trek in a lot of ways. Data pretending to be Human when he's not and Obama pretending to be an everyman when he's a precinct politician.
