It certainly does look like Obama said something that is not true. He might have intended to say something else, but if he knew it wasn't true and said it anyway, then it was a lie. If what he said isn't true and it isn't a case of what he said not being what he meant to say, then as an Obama apologist I will say that I doubt he knew what he said was not true (IOW, I doubt he lied even if what he said turns out not to be true).
Come on, Ted.
We're not talking about some "gosh jolly gee" hick like George W. Bush. This is Barack Hussein Obama, born in Honolulu, Hawaii - graduated from Punahou School, Columbia University and Harvard Law. This is a man who has been a civil rights attorney, a community organizer and taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago - all before he became a US Senator at the age of 43.
We're talking about a smart, savvy, intelligent and cunning man - a man who's been lauded as The Great Orator and praised for his intellect. And to have us believe that maybe he didn't say what he meant to say or that he didn't know he was telling an "untruth"????
Come on, that's just the apologist talking.
