If your father beat you, and your mother was an alcoholic, and they both were in the the mafia, you'd grow up covering it up; lying about yourself and your family so as to appear normal to the outside world. Such behavior often leads to severe personality distortions that, in an adult, would, among other things, disqualify you from becoming President of the United States. Democrats find themselves in much the same position. They have to lie about their left-wing, America hating past to appear normal and function credibly as adult politicians.
Years ago William Safire dismissed Hillary as a "congenital liar." Hillary proved his point perfectly with her recent lie about landing in Bosnia while under sniper fire. Please note that while there was lots of news coverage about her lie, it failed to point out that, additionally, the lie exposed the fraudulency of her campaign, namely, that she has experience beyond that of a normal First- Lady. What's as interesting as the incredible lie, and what it means, is that by the time of her landing in Bosnia 250,000 Europeans had been killed there because Hillary would not let husband Bill intervene, as he successfully did - eventually, for four years out of fear that such an intervention would distract attention from what she was sure would be her all-important, career building health-care plan back home in America. It's all in the recent Sally Smith biography about Hillary, for those who insist that Democrats are too caring to lie, or to do far worse things.
But, Obama faces an even more severe truth deficit arising out of his very mis-spent youth during which, according his auto-biography, he gravitated toward America hating, "caring," Marxist professors, (not coincidentally, Hillary worked for a communist law firm in law school) and appurtenances thereof. It's not surprising, then, that Obama moved on to appreciate the magniloquent rhetoric of Rev. "God Damn America" Wright" is it? But how do you cover up all that history so you can be President of the United States - that you hate? Simple: you lie, and you keep lying; especially about the war in Iraq since that is the way to get to the promised land on the left of Hillary who, conveniently, was lying to get to the right because she was sure that was the lie necessary for a woman to become Commander- In- Chief.
Obama's lie for the army of energetic activists with "Bush Derangement Syndrome," and many main stream Democrats too, was that due to his superior, though inexperienced, judgement he had always been against the war, and accordingly would withdraw the troops immediately. Never mind that there is no obvious connection between the reasons you enter a war and the reasons you leave it many years later. Anyway, here is what Obama has actually said that an encomiastic main stream media will never put together for you:
1) "I opposed this war from the start" (speech August, 2002).
2) "I did oppose the war, ye
