The White House clarified Thursday that President Barack Obama did live with his Kenyan uncle in Cambridge, Massachusetts for a "brief period of time" before attending Harvard Law School in the 1980s after previously saying there was no record of the two ever meeting.
The clarification comes amid GOP criticism over the issue of Obamas honesty and trustworthiness, two personal traits the president has taken a hit on in recent polls.
Obama apologizes for health coverage cancellations due to Obamacare
Onyango Okech Obama, President Obama's uncle, was granted permission Tuesday by a federal immigration judge to stay in the United States, where he has lived illegally for the past five decades. In his testimony before the judge, Obama's uncle mentioned that then-student Obama had stayed with him for three weeks after he was accepted into law school.

“...a brief period of time...”
Vague and sketchy details must mean there is something he doesn’t want to reveal. Just how brief? A week? 6 months? 3 years?
Obama has the inability to tell the truth. Obama has been trained to be a professional liar - attorney. he has only contempt for the law.
Well, lying seems to work very well for him. So any change for the better seems unlikely anytime soon.
Uncle Omar is no Uncle Tonoose.
This is just the tip of the iceberg of what Obama has been lying about.
The real problem is not figuring out when he is lying but when he is telling the truth...
The man can’t open his mouth without a lie coming out. Lying is his essence, his nature, his very being. He even lies about his name. He has lied so much he has lost his ability to distinguish between what is real and what is not real.

LIAR...one sick puppy.
What was it? Six months?
If you tell the truth the first time, there is no need to “clarify” something.
