Obama has a slick strategy for dealing with all questions. He produces an entirely mendacious speech that addresses the questions...and then he goes about his agenda as if said question was never raised.

For example, his Nobel lecture in Oslo presented a hawkish front regarding Afghanistan to satisfy complaints about his being weak on defense. It wasn't true but it confounded the doubting hawks.

And earlier this week, to answer Chinese concerns about his outrageous spending, he made another speech in which he blamed the spending on Bush and promised to bring fiscal restraint to government.

Again, a complete lie!

It is doubtful that such a strategy can last very long, but it is audacious for Obama to believe it can work at all.

Most men have some sense of shame when their honesty is questioned. But Obama is so completely shameless that he seems to relish his dishonesty.

Quite strange! But that's the way things are done in Chicago!
