This phenomenon has, all along, and still to this day, continues to mystify me. It's as if Obama's voice tone is literally mind-numbing to certain listeners. Either that, or some subconscious form of hypnotism has been practiced, with key words -- say "Change" or "Bush" -- used to set in motion the programmed behavior. Maybe, even with the naming of Biden as VP candidate, they couldn't abandon the word "Change" so instead, redefined it?! (With Neo's background, she may know more about this than I. Maybe that's way Obama has zero effect on me. I know I am highly resistant to hypnotism....I have the same proclivity as Neo to "zone out" at prepared speeches, especially when something is read from a script. My brain always seems to have ready so many much more interesting things to think about.) ” I have no idea how a grownup thinking person can invest that much love and hope in any politician.”

the problem is that we live in interesting times…

on palin: if she is selected the whole voter layout will shift… should be interesting… and she is a woman i would vote for, unlike hillary.

This is why they idolized Hitler or Bolshevick rulers. All totalitarian movements of 20 century have common root: atheism.

If they believe garbage like that, they'll believe anything or believe IN anyone. It's a brain defect. First, they have to believe that politicians can make their lives better.

Many, I suspect, are like I was in that I had a lot easier time when I could visualize the whole picture, Global thinking, than just having a lot of small segments thrown at us in a lecture. Again, I think many people were like me in that they started off with low to moderate grades and by the time that the end of class came they were acing the finals and getting all the extra credits. This of course meant that, in general, we attained a 3.4 or 3.5 average. To this day I think many of us develop the goals and then have little trouble visualizing the steps required in attaining that goal. Real life requires one, and this is where I think your average leftist and Dem fail, to set a realistic goal and consider all those messy details that makes it happen. The first questions that should occur to us are who, what, where, when and how. If those questions have not been addressed then it is nothing more than wishful thinking, if you would hope and change without substance.
