Barack Hussein Obama II brings blatant, traceable, and verifiable bold-face-lying to a new art form. Apparently, the presumptive nominee has developed a false sense of untouchability, as he has yet to face enough retribution for his lies to-date, and so he is becoming increasingly BOLDER in his fabrications. Patterns of his dishonesty continue to emerge, and to become strengthened, and though Obama seems to think that he will not be held accountable for his "just words", the GOP is simply gathering the long list of lies to use as easy ammunition against him for the General Election.
Even the die-hard loyalists among his base, including his number-one, "Annie Wilkes"-like fan Keith Olbermann, are starting to get disgusted!
Arianna Huffington, liberal elite bloggist extraordinaire (www.huffingtonpost.com), and yet another of his Kool-aid-drinking clingers-on, is hand-wringing with concerns that Obama is watering down his “brand”. For those of us who are not from a business background, a “brand” is a promise that an entity (usually a company or corporation) makes to its consumers. In the case of Barack Obama, the promise was that he would be a stark anti-war agent of change, and would usher in a new breed of politician. This is a promise broken, no matter how you look at it, as Obama unapologetically changes the channel to Bush TV to invite people of a different political stripe to cast their views onto his blank screen. (Recall from his Audacity of Hope book, Obama writes "I serve as a blank screen on which people of vastly different political stripes project their own views").
Why do the Obama-phites fail to take him at his word? He will host others' views just as easily as he hosts the views that his early supporters have eagerly cast upon him earlier in the primary season.
We, his sweeties, know what it’s like to be slimed by Obama. Hillary supporters in general know what it’s like to have to listen to a fraud who you know is lying simply because his lips are moving. But *this* is sit-back-with-a-bowl-of-popcorn kind of stuff – the Obama die-hards are starting to freak out over the blatant lies and betrayals that their unquestioned hero Barack Obama that he has been dropping on them lately. Obama is now similar or more far to the right than McCain on many of the Democratic marquee issues.
