President Obama deserves the “Pinocchio” Award – Patriot Update

President Obama deserves the “Pinocchio” Award – Patriot Update: As a child I learned the story of Pinocchio and how his nose would grow every time he told a lie. The story is so well known that to be called a “Pinocchio” is to say that you are prone to fabricate, obfuscate, and exaggerate. The Adventures of Pinocchio is a story President Obama might do well to read. As he continues his self-serving attempts to fabricate ways in which he compares favorably with past presidents, Obama is beginning to resemble Carlo Colladi’s fictional fibbing puppet. In fact, if reality mimicked fiction, the President’s nose would make Pinocchio’s elongated snout look like a mere button.
Writing for The Washington Times, Donald Lambro made the following point: “This is a president who has an exalted view of himself, and he frequently reminds Americans of how truly great he sees himself. He’s fond of the pronoun ‘I’ when describing his exploits and isn’t shy about comparing himself to our greatest presidents.”
