Understanding that lets you read Obama regardless of what words he speaks.
He wants to save it for the real enemies...us.
I think he lied a lot as you said, but I also think he is learning an awful lot about reality in the past weeks and months.
For much of the campaign he sounded like an ivory tower elite or idealist college student because he simply does not have enough real world experience to be able generate real solutions to real problems. Now, he is dealing with these problems in real time. IMO, this is scary to have such a newbie in this position. That said, his selections so far for cabinet and advisers are about as good as we could have hoped. On the whole, he is not filling the White House with other newbie and far lefties, but those with practical experience.
Since liberals have no convictions, the means to the end is whatever it takes. Say or do whatever it takes to gain power. I want my tax cut, LOL!!
Obama and many others suffer from Asst.Manager syndrome. They have all the answers until they are asked to run the store. Reality sucks.
His entire campaign was a lie. The truth came out rarely amd only accidentally...like spreading the wealth around.
> And Obama has begun to find this out the hard way in just the 20 days since he was elected.
I think his four years is going to be shambolic. He doesn’t have any experience and he doesn’t really know how to convert his ideas into reality.
On that basis, I suggest look for the power-behind-the-throne, the hand-up-the-backside-of-the-sockpuppet.
Who might that be? Michelle? Could be: she at least has *some* experience. I’m going to guess it will be someone in the political sphere, tho’. But who...?
Obama’s election is beginning to look more like a Clinton third term!
He has been subsumed in a leftist world view his entire life, with few reality checks.
I think the photo of him after he received his security briefing told the story: his world view came crashing down in the light of realty, and he had to adjust it to make himself and his administration viable.
All those statements he made during his campaign reflected the only world view that he knew.
