What is he?
Is President Obama A Pathological Liar?
I'd classify Obama as a fabulist, and the elaborate fable he's constructed -- been allowed to construct -- is himself. The Obama Fable has been the key to his rise, the liberal media have been his primary enablers, and the list of falsehoods below is no doubt the tip of a much larger ice berg of lies, embellishments, and exaggerations.
Major media should now be on this story like a pack of hungry wolves, as in the ravenous media dissection of Sarah Palin and GW Bush -- which even included counterfeit documents promoted by Dan Rather at CBS. But, no. Instead we will hear only crickets, as in the media blackout of the John Edwards love-child story which was left for the National Enquirer to cover.
Elizabeth Warren is a minor league example of the same sort of fabulism, and the liberal media have carefully failed to cover that, also, demonstrating yet again what sort of pathetic, rancid joke they've turned into. Traditionally, journalism claimed to operate as a truth-seeking enterprise on the principle that "If something/body looks too good to be true, it probably isn't." But journalism has been largely replaced by shameless liberal advocacy, making it a conservative force in the worst sense of the term. I see the liberal media and the labor unions as the two institutions in our society most assiduously committed to preserving and promoting the status quo.
