I've spent some time wondering what it is about ol' Mr. Teflon that didn't 
feel right.  What is he doing that has set off my radar.  What was it about 
the way the crowds reacted and the few very vocal folks in each crowd who 
squashed any nay sayers.

Wellllllll, paint me slow, call it mommy-brain or just plain old age OR the 
fact that I've been "out on the farm" in the middle of nowhere and no longer 
spend much time in the big city doing the gubmint's work.

Sheesh, I am soooo blind and really do feel D-U-M-B.  After all, after the 
Bush/Clinton conference of governors back in the 80s, I was the one that set 
up the seminars to teach school administrators how to use the Delphi 
Technique, aka The Alinsky Model.  The Alinsky Method/Delphi Technique is a 
form of group/crowd manipulation.  You may also have heard it referred to as 
Group Concensus.

Bottomline, different dogs, same smell.

"Obama particularly used Alinsky's techniques while participating in Chicago 
community organizations in the 1980s."
