Iron Gauntlet Draped In A Velvet Glove:

This best describes someone who butters you. That person sells you on his or her ideas then does the exact opposite. They make promises and never follow through. They present a hyper reality that makes you want to follow them without any questions. Deep down however they are still an Iron Gauntlet and it will definitely hurt when they punch you in the face. Don't be fooled by the velvety exterior. It's gonna hurt.

"Yes We Can" was cheered from coast to coast. He promised to end the Iraq campaign and do away with the Patriot Act. Instead he did the exact opposite and cooled everyone down with his fantastical words and powers of speech. He's encased in a velvety smooth facade.
