Who is the person most likely to lie to you? Go to the mirror. There he/she is.

True character consists of the ability to transcend the lies that you know are lies, but would rather for selfish reasons wish would be the truth. No, no matter how much you want it to happen, rocks when dropped will not fall up, they fall down. No amount of visualizing “world peace” or “hope and change” will change reality. It simply doesn’t work that way. It never has, and it never will.

But there are people who do believe that you can fly if you do just keep a “happy thought” in your head. The “Peter Pans” and “Tinkerbells” are far more dangerous to human society than a legion of the likes of Charles Manson or Attila the Hun.

But then again, the very worst of them all is the clone of Attila the Hun who pretends to be Tinkerbell, the wolf in fairy’s clothing.

And what do we have with Obama? Does he really think he’s Tinkerbell or is he just pretending? That is the question. None of the answers really can be deemed to be comforting.
