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."
