What’s so brazen is the specificity of the lie:
“I was in the stands and from a distance at a Chicago Bears Football Game.”
Obama would have been better off to say,
“I don’t recall, I meet so many people. I may have.”
But this is a old tactic.
Be specific in your lie and people are supposed to swallow it hook, line, and detail.
Has anybody got a link to Obama’s quote?
