Facebook delited this so im posting it everywhere

Years ago I talked at length with a black missonary from africa he says that the concept or definition of “truth” in africa is not the same definition we have...most americans dont understand this....I dont really understand this....it seems that “truth” in africa is not a constant.....it can change....is subjective and situational.......there can be many truths for the same observed circumstance...and they can change over time.....its fluid. and dreams are often subscribed more validity than waking observation.....So.....many africans and some asians....do not understand our definition of TRUTH.....therefore they also dont understand our definition of LIE. This missonary fellow was at a loss....suggesting that there is no hope for africa untill this basic logical disparity is confronted.........This concept also effects the ability to oratoratate and assume new languages ...because there is very little emotional connotation associated with the words being practiced....free to say what ever is required to move or shape the environment....Obama doesnt lie exactly....He doesnt understand the concept of TRUTH.....Go ahead try a polygraph.....Its been done on many of his speeches....To no useful effect......He doesnt know what a lie is.

It's hardly unique to Africa. I think it's a major part of how the leftist brain operates. Among other things, the fact that stock prices are affected by public perception leads to a belief that public perception can create stock value. What they miss is that when prices in a market rise as a consequence of billions of dollars being dumped in, the rising prices do not represent an increase in the amount of money that can eventually be taken out. To the contrary, rising prices often imply a decrease in actual value.

He doesnt know what a lie is.

But Obama isn't an African.

When I listen to Obama, I hear echoes of the privileged white boys I knew in high school and college who didn't need to work for anything, but who had their paths greased for them. They could do drugs and goof off, because daddy would fix everything.

Obama was raised that way, told he was special, and told he was extraordinary, and he has never had to pay a price for sloth, sloppiness, or being just plain inept.
