The play's the thing

Did somebody say superball?

Tiny's game if we are.

Everybody into the Dining Room Sports Arena for a rousing game of Where'd That Ball Go? Faster than a speeding pussycat, the elusive superball keeps her on her toes.

It was right there a moment ago …

Aha!

Take that!

Presto chango! Just as she thought it was in her paw, it's vanished again. The superball's command of misdirection is right up there with President Obama's. Fred Barnes explains:

President Obama is the master of misdirection. His skill in using this tactic is a key to his success as a candidate and to his popularity as president. He is a great salesman, marketing his product — the liberal agenda, plus a few add-ons — in a manner that disguises what he's really up to.

Misdirection isn't the same as exaggeration. Everyone understands that politicians inflate their accomplishments. So their self-puffery is discounted. Misdirection is different. It is meant to deceive.

Whah? Where'd it go?

Time for a kitty treat.

Kitties tend not to deceive unless you are a mouse. The real Obama remains unseen. I hope freedom still rings from every mountain side when who he is becomes apparent.

Go Tiny! LOL.

Of course Obama misdirects. It's classic. Anyone who has watched a liberal "argue their point" on blogs can see it in a string of comments. They never answer the question - they simply redirect the conversation into ever more ridiculous directions. It's nothing new with any liberal but most especially political liberals.
