The Obama campaign has released a transcript of the president’s conversation with the editorial board of the Des Moines Register. This comes after the newspaper’s editor complained that the campaign insisted that the conversation, which was part of Obama’s push for an endorsement by the paper, be kept off the record.
Q Good morning, Mr. President — Laura Hollingsworth, with the Des Moines Register.
THE PRESIDENT: Hi, how are you?
Q Very well. We haven’t spoken in four years. We’re excited to be able to talk with you.
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I’m so glad to talk to you. And I understand Rick is joining us as well.
Q Rick Green is right next to me, our editor, yes.
THE PRESIDENT: Great.
Q Good morning, Mr. President. How are you sir?
THE PRESIDENT: I’m doing great and looking forward to being back in Iowa.
Q Good, see you later this week.
Q You’ve been here a lot. (Laughter.)
THE PRESIDENT: It’s home away from home.

Caught in another lie: "When the sequester is in place"
This is almost too easy.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Could you summarize the key points — what is being sequestered? Thanks
Bob, I just need to comment on this. First of all, the sequester is not something that I proposed. It’s something that Congress has proposed. It will not happen. The budget that we’re talking about is not reducing our military spending. It’s maintaining it.
Keeping track of their lies is the hardest part of this administrations job. And, they're terrible at that, too.
The sequestration is the part of the budget process referring to massive cuts in our defense budget. Obama outright lied about not cutting our defense budget in the sequestration process during the debate. His campaign walked the lie back the next morning and here in this transcript he almost brags about cutting our military budget.
Is there anything of import in this interview? Any damning statement or gaffe? Why did Obama want it off the record?

This is all a plant by the White House. I saw this story earlier today and read the transcript, also politico has a bit about it as well. Just fishy.
