83. I don't mind what Obama lied about. All politicians lie. They have to. It is a job skill.

Here is an interesting study. They put a group of men together and saw who became the natural leader.Then, they tested them to see who was the best liar. Invariably, the man with the best lying skills was elected to be the leader of the group.

When the put a group of women together, they would not pick the best liar to lead the group. It shows a fundamental difference in what men and women look for in leadership.

Obama is a consummate writer and storyteller---in other words, he is a liar, because that is all writers are. Being a liar is not bad. Liars can bluff in political negotiations. They can act strong and calm in conflict. They can compartmentalize.

Reagan's only qualification for president was his ability as an actor--that is another form of lying.
