He is the master of the False Choice...the Straw Man ...the Scapegoat...and the sly Non Sequitur

These are indeed the four horsemen of the apocalypse.

Just comparing Obama to Bill Clinton, I am struck by little semblance of logical coherence there is in Obama's utterances. Now Bill Clinton was no stranger to spin! But you could tell he knew what logical coherence was, and made efforts to simulate it in his pronouncements, or to obtain it altogether if possible. With Obama, I am not certain if he knows how slippery and dishonest he is being. He seems to regard this kind of slipshod structure of arguments as acceptable. Certainly, even pushing the program he is pushing, you could imagine a more honest argument for it.
