For a long time, Obama ran a campaign against other Democratic candidates, distinguishing himself largely by grand rhetoric and positions more liberal than the rest.  Some of these ideas (like meeting with the U.S.’s enemies without preconditions and repealing NAFTA) made him look like a lunatic.  Now that Clinton has dropped out, Obama is reversing himself on some of these issues, and taking a more moderate stance, but suggesting that he is a liar (examples here<\/a> and here<\/a>; a black political scientist has more eloquently called him a “vacuous opportunist<\/a>“).  In four months the people will have a chance to decide if this liar and lunatic should also be lord.  Let’s pray not.<\/p>\n
