The insincerity of Obama

Obama copies Bush,  Washington Times

comment:

The piece complains about Obama copying Bush.  But there is something deeper.

As I have written before, Obama is an insincere man.  The scope of his insincerity can be seen throughout this episode.  Now, he invokes American exceptionalism after having denounced it.  One wonders if the only reason he brought up the subject of Syria and the alleged use of gas on their people, was to exploit it for political reasons.  That is what he did with American exceptionalism.  That is what he did by bringing up the subject of the use of WMD, and the use of force.

He doesn't care about what he claims to care about.  It is more about serving his own interests more than in serving the greater good.  It was a  Macchiavellian move.
