In the recent Battle of the Budget, House Speaker John Boehner thought Obama was flip-flopping every hour just to head-fake the Republicans...But fifty years ago Charles De Gaulle gave the answer: some people tell so many lies that they can't keep track of the storyline. They never know if they're lying even as the words are coming out of their mouths.
I noticed this during the budget dispute. Obama essentially said nothing of any substance, but kept up a stream of vague, contradictory but haranguing statements that he could not possibly have believed or even understood at the time he was saying them. But it really doesn't matter to him.
Obama doesn't pay much attention to reality because he doesn't need to: he has always had his handlers, who basically point him in what they feel is the appropriate direction and tell him what to do, and he has always been obssessed with getting power, so that when he suddenly decides he wants to enact some part of his personal psychodrama, he'll just be able to go ahead and do so because "he won."
He said whatever he wanted during the budget "negotiations" because he simply doesn't believe that our system has any power over him and he is therefore not bound by anything he or anyone else says.
John Kerry is a bag of pus.
Yesterday upon the stair
I met a man who wasn’t there
He wasn’t there again today
Oh, how I wish he’d go away
