Obama the Liar

Submitted by Zentrist (United States), Nov 19, 2008 at 01:14

It was famously said of Hillary that she was a "congenital" liar. I suppose Barack, too, is a congenital liar. Except that, in New England's Harvard, he was elected editor of the Law Review. I guess he had to be chosen, though, out of PC concerns and issues.

I didn't vote for the man. I liked Ron Paul, and wrote him in because he was honest about why 9/11 happened. Of course, his sound bite in that debate could not tell the whole story, but he was honest. The real distorter of the truth was Bush Giuliani et. al. These folks tried to sweep under the rug the real causes of 9/11. Barack, at least, had some insight into what these causes were.

bin Laden is not pleased, or was not pleased, about the way we parked our military equipment in his homeland, Saudi Arabia. True enough, if Barack knows what bin Laden has said (and he surely does) he's not going to harp on it--wouldn't be prudent. Time will tell if Barack does anything truly wise in terms of long range strategy to protect our homeland, which remains as vulnerable as it can be. My hope about Obama is that he will indeed reach out to the Arab states and insist that they take responsibility. Mr. Obama has a credibility with these states that no other prez has had. There is hope of dialogue (read some of the articles from these states to be found on MEMRI). Without dialogue, we are all doomed, even moreso than usual.
