President Obama and Telling The Truth
I haven't got a copy yet, but from what the reviews say, David Maraniss' new book about The President protray him as a serial embelisher of the truth.
Now, up untill a few days ago, I had never heard of David Maraniss.
He documents example after example of where, in years past, The President engaged in a life filled with half truths, emelishments, and out and out lies.
He lied about the story of his Cancer Stricken Mother. He lied about his association with Rev Wright and Bill Ayers. He lied about his being amamber of the socialist New Party.
He lied, or embelished, all of the stories concerning his Grandfather, his Paternal Grandfather, and his StepGrandfather's involvment in WW-2 and Liberation Movements.
The story of the black friend and the basketball racism is simply false. The white girlfriend story has been repudiated by the woman herself.
I would think any other President who engaged in such literary falshoods would be called out by the Media. For some reason, it has yet to happen.
The myths of the Obama biography is that he was a man who struggled with adversity his entire life but proved himself better than the society that spawned him.
One pattern seems to fit at all times. When things went wrong for the young Barack, the truth was bent to show it was never his fault. As Barry Obama, he had the right stuff to be a starter on his schools basketball team, but was denied by the smallness and racial bent of his coaches thinking. And now, the older Barack Obama, who is now President, knows he has the right stuff, but voters, Republicans, and even other Nations are too small and ignorant to recognize his true greatness.
The truth, in his mind, should have nothing to do with it.

It's becoming clear that the only redeeming value in your posts is in being able to catch a glimpse of your avatar.

Maraniss' book has more impact, because he's a liberal Democrat, who probably voted for Obama. If the same book had been written by a conservative, it wouldn't be getting the same attention. Main stream media can't dismiss the book as a politically motivated hatchet job; however, I doubt that they will give it the attention it deserves.

Enough to know that the stories about Obama's lies are filled with.....half truths, embellishments, and lies of their own.

Doove, the reason I attributed much of the post to the Chronicle's Editorial Writer is becauase 90 percent of the information came from this mornings editoral page.
I suppose it would have been asking too much for a civil response to a major New Outlets Editorial Writing.

what Iam interested in are the book/s about the Iraq invasion and occupation ... that will weigh heavier on History than anything Obie has or will ever do

Jonah Goldberg is about as credible as IB Hankering.
