Obama's "Communication" Problem

I'm not entirely sure what's going on with Odumbo. Is it that: 1) He just says whatever his advisors put in front of him without asking whether it blatantly contradicts something he said earlier or is plain stupid. 2) He's a liar on the order of the Clintons. 3) He just doesn't have any strong opinions about anything nor any sort of intellectual framework to his thinking. 4) He has early-onset Alzheimer's.

A) If it's #1, then it's back to Jimmy Carter and the White House Amateur Hour. The man is just too feckless and inexperienced to be President. Added to a political tin ear for anything outside the African-American/egghead/Malibu opinion universe, we have a man who is not ready for prime time. Give him a few gray hairs and rich(er) wife and we have John Kerry redux.

B) If it's #2, do we really want to go through another four or eight years of wondering whether the President's worldview has any relationship at all with objective reality? Big O's lies are of a different sort than Clinton's. Bubba tried to lawyer his way out of the truth without getting caught telling direct falsehoods. He wasn't very good at it, but he tried. BHO on the other hand is more the post-modernist. His words mean just what he intends them to mean and nothing else. Look at his Smear Fighting page and his explanation of the flag pin controversy. Essentially, he just says it never happened.

C) If it's number 3, see A) above.

D) If it's number 4, maybe he'll put me on his web site.
