In an earlier column I asked the question is Barack Obama a compulsive liar or a sociopath? (h)
A Sociopath:
A sociopath is typically defined as someone who lies incessantly to get their way and does so with little concern for others. A sociopath is often goal-oriented (i.e., lying is focused--it is done to get one's way). Sociopaths have little regard or respect for the rights and feelings of others. Sociopaths are often charming and charismatic, but they use their talented social skills in manipulative and self-centered ways.
A compulsive liar:
A compulsive liar is defined as someone who lies out of habit. Lying is their normal and reflexive way of responding to questions. Compulsive liars bend the truth about everything, large and small. For a compulsive liar, telling the truth is very awkward and uncomfortable while lying feels right. Compulsive lying is usually developed in early childhood, due to being placed in an environment where lying was necessary.
While Barack Obama exhibits traits from both categories, it is becoming increasingly clear that he is primarily a compulsive liar. How else to explain the lies and obfuscations that so easily come forth regardless of whom he may be talking to or the subject matter. His sociopathic skills come to the fore in his ability to manipulate others to join him in his these prevarications, or to exploit the celebrity culture that has overwhelmed a deliberately ill-educated American society.

Obama is a Goebbels world class liar and has surrounded himself with all Goebbels world class liars.
malignant narcissist
Obama should write a book called My Struggle.
Sad how much he knows the MSM will cover for him. He treats them with contempt.
"Barack Obama received at least some instruction in the Islamic faith of his father and went with him to the mosque, but the importance of this experience is vastly overstated by conservative commentators who seek to portray Obama as a Muslim of sorts. Radical anti-Americanism, rather than Islam, was the reigning faith in the Dunham household. ...
Barack Obama is a clever fellow who imbibed hatred of America with his mother's milk, but worked his way up the elite ladder of education and career. He shares the resentment of Muslims against the encroachment of American culture, although not their religion. He has the empathetic skill set of an anthropologist who lives with his subjects, learns their language, and elicits their hopes and fears while remaining at emotional distance. That is, he is the political equivalent of a sociopath. The difference is that he is practicing not on a primitive tribe but on the population of the United States.
There is nothing mysterious about Obama's methods. "A demagogue tries to sound as stupid as his audience so that they will think they are as clever as he is," wrote Karl Krauss. Americans are the world's biggest suckers, and laugh at this weakness in their popular culture. Listening to Obama speak, Sinclair Lewis' cynical tent-revivalist Elmer Gantry comes to mind, or, even better, Tyrone Power's portrayal of a carnival mentalist in the 1947 film noire Nightmare Alley. The latter is available for instant viewing at Netflix, and highly recommended as an antidote to having felt uplifted by an Obama speech. ..."

He has to be a liar. There’s no other way to defend and prop up broken ideas like his.
Obama and Clinton are products of liberalism.
Both are unrepentant liars because neither was held to any standards of honesty throughout their life.
The liberal media and political correctness continue to foster the lies, so they become more egregious over time.
A good liar not only lies compulsively, but to be good, has to be believed, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
He lies so much he ends up half believing his lies. Eventually Obama gets semi-brainwashed too. Lying is a skill you cultivate. For the most part he's aware of his lies, since they will help him achieve what is all important, getting re-elected
“His Muslim upbringing says lying is mandatory.”
As does his involvement in the international socialist movement. (Is he more Muslim or more Progressive?; just asking)
IMHO
He is quite simply Too Black to Fail.
The rule of law is meaningless in the face of political correctness.
“I truly believe that if “Obama” were called a liar to his face, forcefully, repeatedly and unabashedly, the guy would completely lose it in short order”
Not to detract from the “Liar In Chief” skills at lying but wouldn’t you, wouldn’t I, wouldn’t anybody?
“Repulsive liar.”
There, you have it!
"Mein Can't" has an apropos ring to it.
I would say that the answer to the question is self evident.One would need to be blind not to see his lies.
(h) A Sociopath: A sociopath is typically defined as someone who lies incessantly to get their way and does so with little concern for others.
Wow look at that. The definition of a sociopath is the same as that of a politician!
Uh, yeah.
“The Struggle” is a leftist, communist, community organizer phrase that goes way back to at least the Great Depression.
He’s a persistent liar, but it’s neither compulsive or pathological. It is premeditated, well thought out and, as Vaquero said, he does it to further his end of changing America into a 3rd world paradise. The Alinsky playbook is all about deliberate deception.
