It's quite possible that you are right. But that's not what I have seen. What I see is a politician who was still, largely an idealist and still believed that he could run his campaign by speaking to the American people the way he always had, like peers. I think that people who were tired of the way politicians had always talked down to them in the past and lied to them found him to be a breath of fresh air and that's why so many people backed him and believed so passionately in him. When asked questions, he often gave very candid, unrehearsed replies that got him into trouble because it demonstrated a degree of honesty that America was just not ready for. Even during his campaign rallies he often talked like he was at a party speaking to a room full of friends. I think that's what his supporters have responded to. That's also what seems to have made him think that he really was in a room full of friends and why he sometimes got too comfortable and told the truth about complex issues instead of just telling Americans what they wanted to hear. I think he lived a charmed life as a Senator where he found that he could virtually do no wrong and could say exactly what he felt and that he honestly thought he could do the same thing while running for president. Have I seen him back off of this way of speaking more and more as his campaign has continued? Yes. Is he starting to sound more and more like every other politician? Yes. I can almost hear his campaign managers in his ear when he speaks now. And that is what I was lamenting in my piece because I think that will only get worse and I think we will be all the poorer for it. I also think that it is largely our fault. We have gotten exactly what we asked for.

I do not remember a time in history where a candidate was caught lying so many times while running as Barack has been. Sure they all lie, but he has said so many that I just don't see what others could see in him. He said he was concived because of the Selma march, even though it happened four years after his birth. He has lied about his family, his faith, and his stance on many things all of which can be easily disproven.

Had any other candidate, Republican or Democrat, made that flub about "57 states" it would have been all over the news and on every comedian's list. Normally I'd say the press would ignore it if it were from a Democrat but I am pretty sure they would have used it against Hillary.

So Wrath, your statement about Americans not wanting to know the truth applies perfectly to Obama. He is a liar and if he didn't write half the lies he has said, then what does it say about his morality that he would repeat them? Or his intelligence for not either knowing they were wrong or looking into what comes out of his own mouth?

Wow, are you four years old or something? What an amazing statement.

You are more than welcome to cite examples of a candidate who, while running for president, has said half as many outright lies in speeches that can be proven wrong immediately. Everything from how he was conceived to the Kennedy airlift story to his uncle (later corrected to be "great uncle") liberating Auschwitz (later corrected to be a secret mission into Cambodia) are all blatant lies. They aren't debatable, as in someone saying they believed a program was successful and other opinion could say otherwise, but actual undeniable lies.

Like I said you can give examples to correct me, or you can just continue to call me names, like say, a four year old would.
