HUGH HEWITT PICKS UP ON THE FACT that Barack Obama is a constant teller of tall tales. 

If you know the man's history, you know the man has soaked in fiction all his life.  In his memoir he tells us as that a boy and as a teen he made stuff up time after time in order to fit in, understand his absent dad, and puff himself up.  In High School Obama was a member of the literary club.  In college he loaded up on literature classes, and the closest thing to science fiction in academia: classes by Marxists and feminists and "neocolonialist" professors.  In Chicago as a "community organizer" Obama spent much of his time writing fiction based on the South Side poor he met during his "day job".  At Harvard Obama took classes from the "Crits", legal theorists who interpreted the law as a form of fiction written to serve class interests.  Then, of course, Obama spent the next three years writing his deeply fictionalized memoir, packed with made-up dialog and many fictionalized characters and events, a sort of personal docu-drama with about as much fictional content as one of the historical novels you see suburban housewives reading (and perhaps targeted at the same audience). 

And then, of course, there's the fictional story Obama has created of his life in politics.

So don't be surprised that a lot of what Obama says is a matter of mere invention.  He's a man of fiction, from beginning to end.

OBAMA MOVES A STEP BEYOND BULLSHIT.

MORE EVIDENCE THAT OBAMA'S MEMOIR is full of b*llsh*t: "Peterson and other buddies say Obama never spoke of the turmoil he revealed in his memoir."  If you've read his memoir you know that Obama reveals his -- and his friends -- high school "turmoil", or black anger, through his supposed conversations on this subject with Paterson and a third student, Keith Kakugawa (who it turns out is half Japanese, a salient fact left hidden in Obama's memoir.)  Kakugawa also insists these conversations involving black racial "turmoil" were invented by Obama and never took place.  The only people who were there say it didn't happen. 

It's a pattern of b*llsh*tt*ing that I've documented here again and again with Obama.

Even his speech last night was full of b*llsh*t.  (More here.)  To think of Obama correctly, think of Obama as a monster truck snow blower of b*llsh*t.

UPDATE:  Steve Sailer has thoughts on Obama's skill and agenda as a writer of fiction. 

Sailer links to an additional account by Keith Kakugawa of his high school conversations with Obama published in the Los Angeles Times.

31% OF SOUTH DAKOTA DEMOCRATS say Barack Obama does not share their values.   That's about the same number who say that Obama is not honest or trustworthy.

In Montana 27% of Democrats said Obama does not share their values.  And again, this was about the same number who said Obama is not honest and trustworthy.

It suggests, in the eyes more than one quarter of Democrats, that honesty and trustworthiness are among the values Barack Obama doesn't share with them.  That's a fairly significant values gulf between the people and a candidate who needs their votes.

ANOTHER OBAMA MYSTERY. Obama repeatedly tells us that his grandfather enlisted in the Army, and "marched in Patton's Army" through the mud of France.  He also tells us his grandfather "returned from the war never having seen real combat"  (source:  Obama, Dreams from My Father, p. 15).  What I'd like to know is how grandfather marched though France with Patton's army -- which means he was in Patton's infantry -- and never saw combat.

At the very least Obama is misleading veterans and the voting public into believe that his grandfather was a combat veteran in Patton's infantry.  It's part of a pattern of b*llsh*tting the people well documented here at PrestoPundit over the last few months.

UPDATE:  Gateway pundit notes that Obama has told "stretchers" about his grandfather and WWII before.

MORE:  In his famous 2002 anti-war speech on Iraq Obama says at the very beginning of his speech, "my grandfather signed up for a war the day after Pearl Harbor was bombed."  Because this is the most memorable day in 20th century history, it is hard to image that this story could have arisen any other way than through fabrication.  You simply don't misremember such momentous things. 

But the facts of history are different than Obama spins them for his audience.  Army records clearly show that Stanley A. Dunham enlisted on Jan 18, 1942, not as Obama has it for the purposes of dramatic effect Dec. 8, 1941, the day after Pearl Harbor.

This is a repeated leitmotif in our understanding of who Barack Obama is.  He's a guy who continually fabricates his history and his own identify for the purposes of the moment and the audience of the day.

IN REAL LIFE AUSCHWITZ WAS LIBERATED by the Soviets.  In Omama b*llsh*t land, Auschwitz was liberated by his uncle.  And note well, Obama's only American parent -- his mother -- was an only child.

UPDATE:  Obama's campaign sets the record straight.  Note well that in the past Obama claimed he'd heard stories of the liberation of Auschwitz by American troops from his grandfather, who heard about it from other troops while "marching" with Patton's army in Europe.  The story changes; the propensity to "make stuff up" to serve the rhetorical purposes of the moment goes on.
