Obama the Faker
It has been said of Barack Obama that he is of high intelligence. That is to say he is smart in certain areas of knowledge. It does not mean he is smart in all areas of knowledge. According to Wikipedia encyclopedia,Intelligence comes from the Latin verb intellegere, which means “to understand”. By this rationale, intelligence (as understanding) is arguably different from being “smart” (able to adapt to one’s environment).
Einstein was considered to be highly intelligent also, but had little or no common sense or what we call “horse sense”. Even a horse has intelligence but it is limited to being a horse. I submit that Obama falls in the catagory of being smart. His smartness is in fakery. This doesn’t make him a “fake” in the way of what we call a person who lies in order to sell you a product, but one who is talented in fakery who can mislead you into controlling your thinking.
Football is a sport that is an example of fakery. When the ball is snapped, the team performs with a plan of fakery to fool the opposing team into thinking your plan is other than what it really is. Duck hunters put out decoys in order to fake the incoming flock of ducks to land and Eisenhour faked a landing of the main force well north of Normandy which worked but did not disable the defense the German Army had already in place at Normandy.
Obama is smart in politics which is all about fakery. He is very clever in the art of mind control by using fakery as a tool. This is politics, not statesmanship. A statesman thinks of the nation as a whole and acts accordingly, but a politician performs only on a selfish agenda. We as a nation have been charmed into a political agenda, bent on liberal, socialist agenda. It remains to be seen which side he has been faking, left or right. I pray he is at least drifting to the center that this country can be relieved of extremes. Time will tell
