I did not first learn of Obama emulating black preachers from NPR. Early in his political career, some aspiring black politicians in Chicago were a part of the local black church scene. You may recall the "scandal" regarding Obama's association with pastor Jeremiah Wright. People have shown by comparing Obama speeches to sermons of black ministers that he sometimes emulates that style of oration.
I am certainly not trying to promote Barack Obama here. I would be keenly interested if you could show any NLP techniques employed by him. There are countless video recordings of Barack Obama speaking in a variety of contexts. Surely people would have pointed it out.
AND, I know a guy who was both a local news cameraman and later editor. Even he knew it. He complained that it was difficult often to get clean clips of Obama, literally because of the stuttering that he does (when not using a teleprompter).
And when I told him, "Ya know, he stutters because he's waiting for lines to be fed to him most of the time"... he didn't disagree. Then he got all angry when I told him that Obama was a "CIA president" and haven't talked to him since.
Also, do you not think PASTORS use manipulative speaking techniques? I mean, that's kinda ALL some of them do. The phony ones.
I don't think Obama was using NLP in his speech patterns. Sometimes he would emulate black preachers to a degree.

NPR? Thanks for nothing.
I don't care what an Obama mouthpiece has to say about it.
And you don't say why YOU don't think he used NLP. You link to a shit source. Weak. Downoted.

They have, that's why I said it.
That's pretty much all there is to it.

Thanks. If you know of any particular techniques we can show to other people, feel free to share.
Listen to some Martin Luther King Jr. speeches to get a feel for what I'm talking about. That predates the development of NLP.
