The Righteous Redeemer Can't Get Away With It

Obama doesn't lie. He implies, he misdirects, he misleads--so fluidly and incessantly that he risks transmuting eloquence into mere slickness.

The charming scoundrel can get away with endless deception; the righteous redeemer cannot. ~ Syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer. http://www.newsok.com/gliding-from-one-dubious-claim-to-another/article/3401995?custom_click=headlines_widget
