The speech

Yes, well, the pResident's acceptance speech was quite interesting. The fact that he continues to drone on and on saying things we now know are manifestly untrue, lying about his record, claiming credit for things he either didn't do, did half-assed or half-did and totally unfunded, I'm left with only a few options.

• He's being kept in the dark so deeply that he doesn't see the negative effects of his policies, never sees the protesters, never hears the bad stuff. The frozen look on his face at the heckler at one point certainly gives creedence to this idea.
  
• He's outright, bold-faced lying to the American people. This is the simplest explanation, but as an optimist, fundamentally, I have trouble with this one.
  
• He sees the world from a completely different perspective, one in which the middle class and lower class simply don't exist, and that their fate is ultimately decided by the conditions under which their betters live -- the better the master's fortunes, the better the serfs' lives.
  

Then again, it could be all three.
