He is such a pathological liar that he has to lie about who and what he is.

To most progressives i.e. the average MSMer or Democrat, Barack is not a particularly ideological person. It is all matter of perspective. If you believe in socialism and an “active” centralized government, Barack is just your average pol.

He had to lie about who he really was in order to be elected in the first place.

My lesbian Democrat cousin warned me that the “right wing extremist religious KKK” was all over Cincinnati. “There are no conservatives like me (her) there.” I was left breathless. That’s really her view. She’s conservative...

Hmmmm...he also claimed to not be a socialist the other day.

Looks like more and more people are waking to the fact that we have a radical as President. Thus the denials.

Well, let's take a look at this:
*He's not particularly white
*He's not particularly black
*He's not particularly honest
*He's not particularly smart
*He's not particularly Christian
*He's not particularly American


Hell, he's not even particularly real..

“There’s things, some values I feel passionately about.”

Mr. Harvard graduate, you should have said, "There'RE things, some values I feel PASSIONATE about."

He lives inside a bubble of people who think as he does, and always has, so it's hard for him to get outside that and see how his beliefs might look to people outside the bubble -- and of course he doesn't want to see things from that perspective either.

Also, he gets to pick his battles. Whatever he "believes" about some topic doesn't automatically show up on the agenda. Because he's not doing everything he might like all the time, he can think of himself as pragmatic. Someone else who's committed to holding the line on something looks ideological to Obama, because that person doesn't have the option of choosing when and where to fight.

When Obama is rigid or unyielding he sees it as the way things are supposed to be. Look at his comment about last month's stand-off, "I shouldn't have to offer anything" to the Republicans. That might look rigid, unyielding, or ideological to people who hear it, but to President Obama it's just the way things are. It's the other people who should yield or compromise.

To Obama, this isn't "ideological." I have to wonder if it might be personal. Maybe, as so many people say, it's part of a sense of entitlement or narcissism. Maybe it's a sign of contempt for the other side. Perhaps it's just stubbornness.

Or maybe it is partisan, rather than "ideological." The line between the two is pretty thin. Partisanship can be as ferocious and unyielding as ideology, and some people who think themselves unideological can be as pig-headed and intransigent as the most committed ideologues.

He's spent his whole life among idealogues. He doesn't have a non-ideological point of reference to use.
