Obama gets too, too cute when he warns of dictators and liars

President Obama is in South Africa for a speech, and somehow, in the speech he gave, he showed himself to be so clueless about the "strongman" he warned about that he never realized that he described how he ran the U.S. for eight years.

Here is what CNN reported:

Former US President Barack Obama mounted a passionate defense of democracy and warned against the rise of "strongman politics[.]" ...

Obama criticized populist movements toward authoritarianism around the world and ridiculed the "utter loss of shame among political leaders" who lie.

"The politics of fear and resentment and retrenchment began to appear. And that kind of politics is now on the move.["]
