I realize your Clinton Parse-O-Meter has been stored away since 2000, but he did not contradict himself. Last Friday he said that he had not heard the statements at the center of the current controversy, which were the specific statements on YouTube and the TV. Today he admitted hearing other outrageous statements, but not those specific statements.
He was deceptive on Friday, as anybody with a functional Parse-O-Meter could tell at first blush, but he did not contradict himself today.
Actually one has to parse to say Obama was not lying last week. He clearly left the impression that not only was he unfamiliar with Wright’s racist rhetoric, but that if he had heard such things he would have done something about it. He did neither and lied about both when he thought (hoped) the issue would go away sooner. If you want to call it deceptive, fine. I call it lying. PS - I did love your “Parse-O-Meter” line!
