After reading many diaries here and listening to the Media's Talking Idiots on both sides response to the 1st POTUS debate between a Chronic LIAR (whose religion DOES encourage lying, as do most-just read Mormon History if you don't believe me) and a man in control of himself, I came to the conclusion that Obama did what a truly Sane person does when faced with someone who is lying.
Getting into an argument or debate with a Known LIAR is such a waste of time and energy. This also explains why the rift between Democrats and Republicans has grown so much since the Reagan and Bush years when The Liars became really enabled.
I usually shut down, walk away (Obama couldn't do that there) and just let the other person dig his own Lie-hole deeper.
Can you imagine what that must be like to do it in public??
Instead of being able to progress and deal with the nation's problems we are in a constant battle with Liars. It's absolutely insane, doing it the same way over and over again.
It is extremely difficult to defend oneself against a Big Fat Rich Liar backed by many other big fat rich liars who really do have the upper hand these days.
Even trying to compromise is nearly impossible.
On an individual's level, stopping it can only be done, by well, stopping it by silence, walking away and/or tough love.
I've had to do this with a few friends and family members.
And then what did our very Smart POTUS do the next day?
He went on to continue his campaign and with Mocking Humor, exposed Mitt's dishonesty over and over again. :)
Liars hate being mocked. It causes massive media frenzy. And the LIARS get meaner and nastier!
I loved it because that is how I also have had to deal with the LIARS swirling around me, I poke at them when I am forced to, but mostly I am grateful that I have the luxury and choice to walk away from them.
My Absentee Ballot for Obama is in the mail!
Now I am going to rest in peace, hopefully until the day I truly R.I.P. (or until next time..)
