The one moral trait that I most admired in Ted Kennedy, the man and politician, is totally lacking in Barack Obama: his near unfailing honesty*. Kennedy was a conviction politician and man of his word who stood on principle and boldly and fearlessly spoke the truth as he saw it, however destructively mistaken he was. While Obama is a gutless, lying, cowardly fool; a girlie man who hides his radical views-a spineless, immature, socialist dissembler who projects an aura of weakness, uncertainty and confusion. In this respect Ted Kennedy was a profile in courage worthy of praise; while Obama's lies are as long as his legs and his integrity's no bigger than his shoe size. Obama is Ted Kennedy, the Lion of the Left, reduced to a mental and moral mouse, a mouse who can't roar unable to transcend his spiritual smallness. How dare Chris Matthews say that "Obama is the last of the Kennedy brothers;" he's not even worthy to be a Ted Kennedy Mary Jo, Chappaquiddick, moral faults and all.
* Kennedy's slandering of Judge Bork during his Senate confirmation hearings and George Bush over the Iraq War (Bush lied) were disgusting, deplorable and self-demeaning. However, when compared to Obama Ted Kennedy is an honest Abe Lincoln. Despite his rigid opposition to Reagan's confrontational policies with the Soviets Kennedy was man enough to admit his mistake and praised Reagan for winning the Cold War; Obama's ideological hostility toward Reagan is such that he has refused to accord him this well deserved honor denying that America played a significant role in ending that conflict.
Postscript
At his last Townhall meeting our sick, compulsive liar of a president, who disgraces his person and office at every turn, had the audacity to tell his audience: "My greatest fault is that I'm truthful to a fault." Coming from a man who cares little for truth, and lives for the big lie of Socialism and his messiahood, this is one of the most infuriating falsehoods spoken by a US president since Clinton on Monicagate ("I never had sex with that woman"). All presidents and politicians lie, it's to be expected. However, the best of them will lie sparingly using it like poison and only when necessary; but the very worst and lowest will look you in the eye and say: "I will always be truthful and transparent with you" and shamelessly lie and lie and lie, betraying your trust and caring little what you think as if he were a contemptible nothing. Obama is a living, walking, breathing lie and the truth is catching up to him as more Americans see through his moderate guise and see how recklessly radical and dangerous he is*.
*A good example of Barack Obama unmasked, what he would say if he were perfectly honest, is Rep. Diane Watson of California who at a recent Townhall meeting praised Fidel Castro‘s communist health care system as a model for America and the world (
see). With good reason Castro has praised Obama's domestic policies and sees in him an ideological brother as the two are die hard comrades in Socialism.
