He can't go three paragraphs without some non sequitur. All his speeches sound the same to me. Everything falls into two categories. Either it's mushy drivel to flatter his audience or it's an attack on those who oppose him who he makes out as oppressors. * * *

Obama is intelligent, but he has a very specific kind of intelligence. I think of it as a con man's intelligence; it's devoted to charm and getting one over on the other guy, and to political tactics. That is precisely why, even when his poll numbers in specific areas, such as his handling of the economy, drop dramatically, his all-over favorability rating remains high. He is perceived as 'personable', whether that characteristic is sincere or not. People like him. We need to pray that, when the American voter steps into the voting booth on November 6th, a little voice inside him reminds him that personability cannot defeat radical Islam, or achieve energy independence, or reduce the debt, or secure the borders -- especially when that personability is rehearsed and turned on and off like a faucet.
