I think that all politicians and Presidents lie/ prevaricate/ distort the truth.

Making the point of "Obama caught in blatant lying" is at face value an attempt to make some point that Obama has proven himself exceptional in this sense, probably meant to be a denigration of his politics. I do not believe that point has been made successfully.

Obama and his administration have a long way to go before they will approach the hem of the garment of dissembling that was worn by the previous regime. I remember 'W''s administration trying to create a department of misinformation for the military which was not just bad publicity but freakin' STUPID (a hallmark of the 'W' years).

But as for takin' turns to pick on thread participants, this is a sign of thread decreptitude. Methinks folks have little of merit to add so them are eatin' their own. It's also a trifle cowardly.
