Obama now at hypocrisy gap, credibility gap

It looks like President Obama had to delegate Vice President Biden to "STFU whiny liberals gap because he's too busy opening up new credibility gaps and hypocrisy gaps.

Near the end of a Rolling Stone interview, Obama says:

The idea that we've got a lack of enthusiasm in the Democratic base, that people are sitting on their hands complaining, is just irresponsible.

Everybody out there has to be thinking about what's at stake in this election. ... If we want the kind of country that respects civil rights and civil liberties, we'd better fight in this election. And right now, we are getting outspent eight to one by these 527s that the Roberts court says can spend with impunity without disclosing where their money's coming from.

Civil liberties? This from the man who wants to kill at least one American citizen without trial? From the man who wants to vastly expand internet snooping? From the man who hasn't apologized for Bush-era FBI snooping? From the man who's packing more people into Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan?

I caught that courtesy of Glenn Greenwald, who jumps all over this. More on Glenn in a minute, but let's next go to the Citizens United ruling.

Two years ago, Obama did a campaign finance head fake on John McCain, got more Wall Street money than him, and opted out of public financing. He then backed a financial "reform" bill with minimal reform so as to not antagonize the Street too much. He constructed a healthcare "reform" bill after cutting advance deals with Big Pharma, surely also in the search for campaign dinero in 2012.

As I said before, Obama isn't even as good a liar as Bill Clinton.

So, STFU yourself.
