I think it's just a lazy way of disagreeing with someone without having to actually deal with constructing arguments, rather than an actual attack on the intelligence of the person in question. |

He is not dumb, but his positions while popular on Main Street, when collected together are dumb policy, and too expensive. Now, Cali and Woot will try to assuage the more economically sensitive among us, "well, he may lie about that stuff to get elected, but don't worry he won't be able to get it on with the Congress." Color me unimpressed that a man is willing to lie and to ask for too much, knowing he will garner more sympathy from the public while allowing those who know economics for taking the blame for doing the right thing. In other words, he wants to look like hero while doing the WRONG thing. He is a veritable Manchurian Candidate, although I'm not implying he represents the interests, knowingly, of foreign interests. Nor do I imply he is a plant, only that his weakness and naivete would play into the interests of foreign nationals, due to his weak at the knees policies.

Obama is a hard-core socialist. You can easily find that by looking on the web, but I'd guess you'd ignore it because you don't want to admit it or you're a socialist like he is.

However, perhaps he views like this, "hey, I'll promise them anything to get in, and if I can get some of it so be it, and anybody who stops me will get mowed down for not following me." "And if any tough choices must be made, I'll let the others decide and take the blame." So I can see that he's lying at every promise, every stage of the game. The more I consider his conniving manner, his devious plans, the more evil he appears to be.

He makes people feel good by lying and avoiding the hard discussions.
