When one possesses no moral compass, like Obama, then anything they say is not a lie, by their line of reasoning as evidenced by Obama saying this, just like Gore said about inventing the internet, just like Piglosi who said that more unemployment funding was needed in order to create more jobs, and just like Slick Willie himself, who said he did not have sex with that woman, Ms Lewinsky.
In the interest of fairness, I feel compelled to point out that Gore did not claim to have “invented” the internet per se. He took credit for pushing legislation through that enabled the internet to be developed.....or something like that.
