#2 Obama is a hybrid of the bowtie boys in Massachusetts and California..... and the ass cracks at Walmart. One wants to "distribute the wealth" and the other wants that free ride.

Ever notice that Obama never gives cheering speeches to rooms full of Colonels? There is a reason for that.

#3 Everything the State says is a lie, and everything it has it has stolen.
― Friedrich Nietzsche

Obama has honed this concept to a fine art--Lying to justify stealing. "Social justice" is the means. Once a liar has lied, you cannot believe anything he or she tells you in the future. "O" has many accomplices around him supporting this artifice.

#4 O may have learned much during his early childhood in Indonesia:

Muslim scholars teach that Muslims should generally be truthful to each other, unless the purpose of lying is to "smooth over differences."

There are two forms of lying to non-believers that are permitted under certain circumstances, taqiyya and kitman. These circumstances are typically those that advance the cause Islam - in some cases by gaining the trust of non-believers in order to draw out their vulnerability and defeat them.

From the Hadith:

Bukhari (49:857) - "He who makes peace between the people by inventing good information or saying good things, is not a liar." Lying is permitted when the end justifies the means.

From Islamic Law:

Reliance of the Traveler (p. 746 - 8.2) - "Speaking is a means to achieve objectives. If a praiseworthy aim is attainable through both telling the truth and lying, it is unlawful to accomplish through lying because there is no need for it. When it is possible to achieve such an aim by lying but not by telling the truth, it is permissible to lie if attaining the goal is permissible and obligatory.."

#5 Being a third generation Marxist with a fabricated life story is probably relevant too.

#8 "You have to ask, at this point, What difference does it make" My fellow Americans, you (51%) blew it.

Whats done is done. There is no undoing it. All that is left is to see what can be salvaged from the ruins.

#9 Nobody hides praise, academic or otherwise, especially when trying to develop a cult of personality. Must not be much praise out there on the the old "permanent record".
