The Republicans must force “Barry” Obama to answer the unavoidable question: who are you lying to? Somebody obviously is being deceived. A quintessential example is Austan Goolsby giving the wink-wink/nudge-nudge to the Canadian government concerning Obama’s alleged pro-free trade position. These hints were being conveyed while the Illinois U.S. senator was telling blue collar workers in Ohio that he is adamantly against NAFTA. Obama is something of a Rorschach test candidate. He wants to be perceived as whatever you want him to be. You are also not suppose to ask Obama to be fairly specific with his proposals. Trust in the “great leader” is required.
