The Pinocchio Syndrome

President Obama's goal of transforming the U.S. from Capitalism to Socialism has been sidetracked again. His focus has been obscured by events in Syria and the situation there has substatiated his most serious charactor flaw, i.e., lying.
Generally there are two types of liars: Sociopath or Compulsive.
The sociopath is often goal oriented, lying is done to get his or her way, they have little or no regard for others. They are charismatic and likeable but manipulative.
The compulsive liar lies out of habit, they are usually not maniulative or driven by goals, they are hibiual.
Obama has lied about Fast And Furious, Benghasi, and Obama Care.
As for Syria he warned them that if they used weapons of mass distruction this would cross his "Red Line" and they would suffer serious consequences, he nade a promise. Syria gave him the finger and gassed it's own people killing hundreds.
After profuse and exuberant commentary promising a military response by the U.S. and others there has been no further  action. President Obama alluded to military action tantamount to "A Shot Across The Bow". In military terms this is a warning shot indicating the next will be a direct hit. It does not mean taking a warning shot then retreating.
