I didn’t think Obama held even one hearing on Afghanistan. At least that’s my memory of his failure to lead. Then again, with only 145 days in the US Senate, Obama may have been too busy campaigning for the presidency.

That’s just it, Obama never was engaged in the issue, yet he claims questions ‘kept coming up’, and the Biden earlier posted comment shows Obama questions weren’t ‘coming up’ in the Senate at that time.

Comments about Obama being ‘intellectual’ and ‘thoughtful’ are void of reality. Obama embellished, lied.

What is Compulsive Lying?

There are a number of reasons that people lie. The first is fear. This is the most common reason that people may lie, and they are taking shelter from a perceived punishment. It may be because they know they have done something wrong a single time, in which case it is not compulsive lying.

But if they are always in fear of being punished, it may become a habit, which is a second reason for lying. In this case, it may become compulsive lying, which is lying by reflex. Even when confronted by the truth, they insist the lie is the truth in this case.

A third case is learning to lie through modeling. When a people see others lie, especially when they get away with it, they may become more prone to lying.

Finally, people lie because they feel if they tell the truth they won’t get what they want. Thus, out of the main reasons for lying, only lying by habit can truly be called “compulsive lying.”

Increased lying has been seen with a number of psychiatric diagnoses such as ADHD and Bipolar Disorder. With ADHD people will often say “I don’t know why I did that”, and when confronted about why they lied, their answer will be the same.

ADHD children also display impulsivity, and they may lie implusively. Bipolar Disorder can be associated with low serotonin levels, which has been implicated in impulsivity, which, as indicated before, makes a person more prone to lie.

With 145 days in the Senate, Barack Obama would be just about tied with the amount of time John Kerry spent in VietNam.

And Barack Obama didn't even have to shoot himself in the foot.
