Deception as character
I've been knocked flat by a cold and haven't done much more than skim the news, but I can't resist passing on this item noted by Allahpundit at Hot Air: Byron York traces the path of deception followed by the Obama campaign in the wake of news stories reporting his double-talk on NAFTA. Read the whole thing: it reveals a lot about the "new politics" brought down the mountain to us by the Prophet Barack.
And Allah makes this pertinent observation:
Barack Obama and his team were telling some people what they wanted to hear, and some people the truth. The issue isn’t even which are which, but the fact that Obama’s NAFTA dance reveals his campaign, at least, as something considerably less than the principled statesmen they’re selling in this primary season. It also shows him to have a lot less courage than he assigns to himself, refusing either to stand up to the protectionists in his party or the Canadians and Mexicans.
Obama has made a campaign on the basis of character. Even apart from his continuing ties to people like Tony Rezko, William Ayers and Bernadette Dohrn, the NAFTA Dance shows the character of his campaign as less than stellar.
That's putting it politely.
