OMiscreant

Obama has been so uninterested in Afghanistan that when he went to Iraq and
other countries in the Middle East with a Congressional delegation in January
2006, he skipped the opportunity to continue on to Afghanistan, which was taken
by others who made the trip with him, including Kit Bond and Harold Ford. And,
in an embarrassing gaffe, Obama claimed on May 13, 2008, that we don't have
enough "Arabic interpreters, Arab language speakers" in Afghanistan

Worst of all, far from being committed to victory in Afghanistan, Obama voted
to cut off all funding for all of our military efforts in Afghanistan on May 24,
2007 (H.R. 2206, CQ Vote #181), thereby seeking to bring about defeat there as
well as in Iraq. His current effort to portray himself as a wolf in sheep's
clothing on Afghanistan is a complete fraud.

It is possible that at some point in American history there may have been a
major politician as dishonest as Barack Obama, but I can't offhand think of such
a miscreant.
