    Obama - Master of Manipulation

    The thread on the use of his middle name got me thinking of other small trivial things this guy does to manipulate the people. Here is a funny one that no one has brought up since his election.

    During the campaign, his youth & inexperience should have been a major obstacle for him to overcome. Then suddenly he was sportin' gray hair. Gave the impression of experience, made him look a bit older, more distinguished. No one talks about it now. Why? WHERE DID HIS GRAY HAIR GO?!?! So did he highlight it gray for a few months of the campaign to appear more experienced & aged...or is he dying it now to look younger? Hmmm...highlight for a few months vs. dye forever.

    Take a look.

          Aren't all people in the public eye concerned with image/representation?

            The problem I have with Obama personally is that he is all image and no substance, and his image changes immediately depending on who he is trying to coerce into agreeing with him. Coloring his hair gray to combat criticism of his age/experience by misrepresenting himself in the public eye is just lame...especially since he stopped and went back to his natural darker color the second he was elected. Just shows one aspect of the lengths of trickery & manipulation this guy will go to in getting his way and pushing his ideology onto everyone.

              Hmm. After careful examination, it occured to me that it might be possible that his hair IS grey and he uses a darkening agent on a regular basis. And, JUST MAYBE, he got busy on the campaign trail and didn't do it for a while.

              Nah. I actually think you're right and that he's "manipulating people" with his hair color; that makes FAR more sense.

                Yeah. That argument would fly if Obama did his own hair. Believe me, this guy and his team don't forget about any detail, no matter how small. Image & perception are everything with him.

                  AHH, now I see! Because other people color Obama's hair, it's obviously a conspiracy against the American public to either raise the case of experience or lack thereof, depending upon the need to impress upon the public from situation to situation.

                  Got it!

                    The only difference between Obama and George W. Bush is Obama reads the teleprompter better and spends more money. Other than that we will get more war, more troops, and more perks for bankers, military contractors, and anyone else who has greased the president with enough money.

                      Barrack Obama keeps his plastic surgeon busy because he has to have his nose constantly shortened because is keeps growing because of all the lies he tells. The only promise this guy has kept was stem cell research. He's lied horribly on taxes, the war, and lobbiests.

                        What? You mean the office of POTUS ages people prematurely? Really?

                        Have you ever bother to check the photos of the before and after of presidents? Even one term is enough to age a man beyond his years...

                        Especially with Obama inheriting an economic crisis, two wars, and a declining American position in the world. But great way not to talk about actual issues...

                          At least Obama's hair is better than Ronald Reagans. Man. Was that hair even organic? I think the Dupont chemical company had the contract to take care of President Reagans hair.

                            Barrack Obama ages in reverse. If he gets another term in office, by the time it's over he will be a fetus. Hopefully he won't be used for stem cell research.

                              Obama has the look of a person that could have started out as decent and honest. Now his face shows the hard grim expressions and fake smiles of one who has sold his soul, probably during the meetings with his puppet masters.
