I believe that Obama is using the “Pet rock fad” style of crowd psychology to put himself in power.
He cares nothing for his constituents and feels free hoodwink them when it is convenient.
His victims are fleeced and then swept under the rug (or under the bus).
Unfortunately, some of Obama’s contributors now have caught on to his con-game and they are not happy.
Background of the Pet Rock Fad:
Pet Rocks were a 1970s fad conceived in Los Gatos, California by advertising executive Gary Dahl.The first Pet Rocks were ordinary gray pebbles bought at a builder’s supply store and marketed as if they were live pets. The fad lasted about six months, ending with the Christmas season in December 1975. During its short run, the Pet Rock made Dahl a millionaire…A “Pet Rock Training Manual”, with instructions on how to properly raise and care for one’s newfound pet (notably lacking instructions for feeding), was included. The instruction manual contained several commands that could be taught to the new pet. While “sit” and “stay” were effortless to accomplish, “roll over” usually required extra help from the trainer.
Dahl, an advertising executive from Los Gatos, California, conceived the idea of selling rocks to people as pets, complete with instructions. The 1975 fad only lasted about half a year, but that was enough to make Dahl a millionaire… In 2000, Dahl won the Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest, the San José State University sponsored competition that awards authors for crafting particularly bad “purple prose.”
Dahl is the author of Advertising for Dummies, part of the popular …for Dummies series.
