Even for a politician, he is an unusually frequent liar.

I'll have to disagree with you, but I wish it were for a different reason.

I don't think Obama is really a liar. I think he actually believes much of what he says, and it's very, very scary.

I think he is so far into the socialist/statist mindset that he really believes only government can do things well - that there is so much waste, fraud, and abuse in corporations that if the annointed government bureaucrats (like himself) were just running things they (he) could provide better health care to more people for less money.

And I think he believes that when the government runs everything, the economy and revenues will grow so fast that all this spending can be covered without tax rate increases.

And, since he never did anything in the Senate, I think he believes that those corrupt, partisan Democrats will give him his miracle without loading it down with pork to buy votes. And that people are just concerned because they (we) don't understand how all the messy details will be transformed and only the wonderful things will be in the bill he actually signs.

So it's someone else who is 'lying' when they say that the bill will require free health care for illegal aliens . . . because in his world, by the time the resulting law is in effect, he'll have handled the illegal alien problem as well.

In his world, the seas have quit rising and the earth is cooling because he wills it so . . . and that's the scary, scary truth.

I agree with you that he has a strong conviction of what he believes. However, he also knows that if he publicly says what he believes, the public will not support him, so he has to say something that resembles rainbow and unicorn, or something 'centrist'. This is why people call him a liar.
