OBAMA'S PHONY CENTRISM IS A RHETORICAL TRICK BASED ON A LOGICAL FALLACY

OBAMA NEVER GIVES A SPEECH WITHOUT RESORTING TO AN OBVIOUSLY MENDACIOUS TACTIC: THE STRAW MAN.

HE ALWAYS PAINTS HIS RIGHT-OF-CENTER OPPONENTS AS EXTREME AND OUR POSITIONS AS RIDICULOUSLY EXTREME, AND THEN OFFERS UP A LAMELEFT-WING EXTREME VIEW SO HE CAN PLANT HIMSELF IN WHAT APPEARS TO BE THE MIDDLE.

BUT IT IS A FALSE MIDDLE.

A GOOD MAN WITH HIGH MORAL PRINCIPLES AND LOFTY GOALS WOULDN'T NEED TO CONSTANTLY RESORT TO THIS TYPE OF RHETORICAL DISTORTION - AND TWISTING OF THE FACTS.

THEREFORE, OBAMA MUST BE A BAD AND IMMORAL MAN WITH DASTARDLY GOALS.
