I heard it on the NPR

It was stunning--so much so, I've forgotten the topic, but it was NPR and the two speakers seemed to be catching on to his tricks. Can't remember if it was stabbing Poland and Czechoslovakia in the back the way FDR did in 1939 and 1945 or if it was his convoluted definition of a tax increase. Oh well. What was exciting was to hear real journalists on NPR awake and smelling the coffee!

Charles Krauthammer: "Obama doesn’t lie. He implies, he misdirects, he misleads — so fluidly and incessantly that he risks transmuting eloquence into mere slickness.

Slickness wasn’t fatal to “Slick Willie” Clinton because he possessed a winning, near irresistible charm. Obama’s persona is more cool, distant, imperial. The charming scoundrel can get away with endless deception; the righteous redeemer cannot."

As much as I like Krauthammer, he's wrong about lies. Misleading and misdirecting is lying. I think he has to maintain a semblance of "fairness." I don't. Truth and words matter to me. Intent and character matter. Obama lies outright if you listen, he appoints crooks if you notice, he has clutches of friends and advisers who are Marxists and revolutionaries if you back track through their resumes and memberships, he flip flops on Afghanistan if you read his words; and you'd have to be deaf and dumb to believe him on anything whether it's his relationship with ACORN, Planned Parenthood, or Bill Ayers.
