Unhampered by the bonds of honesty

Just hours after North Korea launched a long-range rocket, President Barack Obama made a rhetorically beautiful speech calling for "a world without nuclear weapons."

Yes, that will happen; Pakistan, India, Iran, Russia, and the rest of the world will cheerfully trash their nuclear devices. This statement was also just hours after he had made a rhetorically proper warning to North Korea not to launch the rocket. To rid the world of nuclear weapons, President Clueless proposed that, as part of attaining that goal, America would “reduce its arsenal, if not eliminate it altogether.” There are two troubling things about this and other current Obama events. The first is that the man seems unhampered by the bonds of honesty, can say the precise opposite of what he said last week, and the public will swallow it whole. In his article this week, George Will, cited an example of the Obama crowd firing the GM manager, hiring a new one of their choice, replacing the board of directors with their selection, and telling the company how and when to come up with a new business plan. Obama then baldly told the American people the government did not want to run GM.
The second concern, or more of a lingering uncertainty, is of Obama’s true character. Is he a naïve incompetent who has never governed anything until now and believes the pap he is disseminating? Or, has his past associations with the likes of anti-American Marxists like reverend Wright and terrorist William Ayers shaped his thinking and moved him along a master plan to transform the country into a Socialist, government controlled society. Does he believe that lying to the public is an acceptable practice because - as with all Liberals, Socialists, and Marxists - he believes the ends justifies the means?
