I lean toward sociopath, myself.

Romney should open his end of the first debate with something along the lines of Joe Wilson's declamation "You lie!" and we can then watch the meltdown unfold apace. It wouldn't take very long, methinks.

(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!

He's asking for the votes of people who he intends to impoverish and enslave in favor of a select minority - in other words he's a democrat running for office.

What else can he do?

Obama like Bill Clinton simply has no moral standards, truth is whatever is needed to be said to gain power or protect your butt. Obama simply has no morality and the very concept of truth is alien to his thinking. What is scary is that history is full of examples of others without a sense of morality for example Hitler, Mussolini and Stalin. Read Orwell’s 1984 to see an example of an entire society devoid of any truth.

Again I commend to all FReepers H.G. Frankfurt's On Bullsh*t.

Obama (and leftists generally) aren't liars: they are bullsh*tters. The liar knows what he is saying is false and says it specifically for the purpose of deceiving the hearer. The bullsh*tter doesn't care about the truth or falsehood of his utterances, but says whatever is expedient, whatever he thinks will induce the desired behavior in the hearer, whatever supports his own position. In the end Frankfurt concludes that bullsh*t is a worse enemy of truth than lying -- the liar is at least aware of the truth.

I agree with you: on balance, more sociopath than liar.
All the attributes are there for sociopath in Obama, especially the qualities of charm, personal likeability,etc.
They have been noted by everybody, especially his “opponents” on “the Right”. It is those qualities and talents that have allowed Obama to get away with what he probably knows are lies, but he is merely the vehicle for an Encyclopedia of Lies that the current Left, mostly his elders from a previous generation of Lefties, have furnished him with. The reason this generation of Professional Liars on the Left rolled the dice on Obama and shoved Hillary Clinton aside is because his whole “package” was, to them,
an easier and more irresistible sell, than Hillary Clinton’s, which they feared would be sullied again by accusations against her husband and his 2007-20008 vintage
sexual improprieties. Obama was the perfect Agent to sell
the Leftist Dreambook to the American people, and he had to do nothing by smile, entertain celebrities, golf, and show up now and then with his sonorous voice on display, sounding
for all the world like he was not only the final Authority on Everything but in fact the Author of all of it.OF COURSE Obama is a Liar, also, but’s let’s not give him too much credit for anything else. He knows NOTHING about political process, and less about employing the usual
strategies through which politicians manage to get their “bills” through, like his new supporter, Bill Clinton. T’was ever thus with him—even as a State Senator he was uninterested in legislation, and was handed over wholesale a bunch of legislation he could pretend was his, but was written by a few low-level Democrat hack politicians. Obama
needed something like that to make himself look credible.
Once elected President,he gladly and willingly laid back and watched others go “over, above, around and through”, for example, to get the mistitled
“Obamacare” through as Law of the Land. He had no interest in crafting it, and has no more idea of what is in it than any Dem in Congress. He was just happy to serve as Front Man
for a whole variety of policies initiated by his Enablers.
Please, “don’t get me started”!!!!

(Article) 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.

Reminds me of the anecdote about an Army messenger's finding Gen. MacArthur sitting in a Jeep by the side of a road on Luzon, listening to the sounds of combat up ahead of him. The messenger delivered his message and left, and MacArthur was quiet for a little while. Then he said, to nobody in particular, "Now there was a man who never told the truth, if a lie would suffice."

The American People are going to have to get over our habit of elevating men like that and celebrating their ability to scratch our prejudices and tease our hopes while screwing us royally.
