"Last week, when the Supreme Court declared unconstitutional the District of Columbia's ban on handguns, Obama immediately declared that he agreed with the decision. This is after his campaign explicitly told the Chicago Tribune last November that he believes the D.C. gun ban is constitutional.
 
"Obama spokesman Bill Burton explains the inexplicable by calling the November -- i.e., the primary season -- statement 'inartful.' Which suggests a first entry in the Obamaworld dictionary -- 'Inartful: clear and straightforward, lacking the artistry that allows subsequent self-refutation and denial."

So is Obama an "artist: a person who does anything very well...with...a feeling for effect, etc."?
Webster's New World Dictionary.

"Just as one can speak of the world of Michelangelo, of Van Gogh, of Dostoyevsky, not because they create a world ex nihilo, but because they do re-create one....anew, guided by his own view of the essence of the original one." writes Leonard Peikoff in Objectivism:  The Philosophy of Ayn Rand, Art, p.417 (HB), can one call Obama an "artist" in any sense of the word?  No.  He's an "illusionist:  a person subject to illusions, or false impressions.  (Webster's New World Dictionary).  I base this on Obama's so called "flip-flops", e.g., his "...brazen reversals of position and abandonment of principles -- on public financing of campaigns, on NAFTA, on telecom immunity for post-9/11 wiretaps, on unconditional talks with Ahmadinejad...."  Charles Krauthammer   

In that way I would define "inartful"--in use in 'the Obamaworld dictionary'--as: "not '...limited by the requirement of intelligibility....', as written by Ayn Rand, in The Romantic Manifesto, Art and Cognition, pb 75.   

This would expose the entire world view of Obama as "one who disbelieves in objective existence"  (The Compact Edition of the Oxford English Dictionary). Moreover, it would offer a lead to understanding that his often repeated charismatic faculty is no more than his particular "artistic" style, the art of illusion.

Incidentally, all know that Obama is politically as far left as one can be.  In French that's a man who is "de~gauche":  left-wing.  And have you noticed that Obama is also left-handed--the same spelling in French as the above?  In English "gauche" means "awkward".
 
You can say this last again and mean it, contrary to Krauthammer's assertion that Obama is "...the young sleek cool hip elegant challenger."  

That too is an illusion.
