The Many Faces of Obama

I would like to share and observation from Thomas Sowell about President Obama.  It is nothing new and something I have said for a long time.  I just like the Sowell explains it:

"As Obama's own books point out, he has for years cultivated a talent for saying things that people will find congenial.

You want bipartisanship and an end to bickering in Washington? He will say that he wants bipartisanship and an end to bickering in Washington. Then he will shut Republicans out of the decision-making process and respond to their suggestions by reminding them that he won the election. A famous writer-- Ring Lardner, I believe-- once wrote: "'Shut up,' he explained."

You want a government that is open instead of secretive? He will say that. He will promise to post proposed legislation on the Internet long enough for everyone to read it and know what is in it before there is a vote. In practice, however, he has rushed massive bills through Congress too fast for anybody-- even the members of Congress-- to know what was in those bills."

This is what people need to keep in mind when they when they hear Obama speak.  He's going to say exactly what you want to hear.  The question is, will he actually do it.  I believe this man is the most gifted liar I have ever seen.  Bill Clinton can't hold a candle to him.  If you were his neighbor, he could run over your dog and tell you with complete sincerity that he did it for your own good.

As a candidate, he told us all the wonderful things he was going to do.  No one really thought he could do all of it, but I don't think most realized that he never intended to either.  Now he tells about all of the good he is doing while doing the exact opposite.  Glenn Beck this week compared to it to trying to convince us that 2+2=5.  We need to remember not to be lulled by his lies and stay vigilant on throwing his party out of power this fall.
