Does Obama Use Neuro-Linguistic Programming Techniques in Speeches?

There is a 60 page document on the web that has been out there since before the 2008 Presidential election: "An Examination of Obama's Use of Hidden Hypnosis Techniques in His Speeches". The author is unknown. But the document is well-written in my opinion.

The document says that Obama's speeches contain the hypnosis techniques of Dr. Milton Erickson, M.D. who developed a form of "conversational" hypnosis that could be hidden in seemingly normal speech and used on patients without their knowledge for therapy purposes.

Here is a copy and paste of the techniques:

- Trance Inductions
- Hypnotic Anchoring
- Pacing and Leading
- Pacing, Distraction and Utilization
- Critical Factor Bypass
- Stacking Language Patterns
- Preprogrammed Response Adaptation
- Linking Statements/ Causality Bridges
- Secondary Hidden Meanings/Imbedded Suggestions
- Emotion Transfer
- Non-Dominant Hemisphere Programming

On page 5 the document states: "Almost nobody realizes what Obama is doing. These techniques are nearly impossible for an untrained person to detect. With the exception of a few trained experts in hypnosis, nobody understands even what to look for. It sounds in every way like ordinary powerful speech."

If you scroll through the document, you will see photos illustrating the assertions of this document.
