As regime change was unfolding in Egypt, Secretary of State John Kerry spent time on his boat Wednesday afternoon in Nantucket Sound, the State Department acknowledged to CBS News on Friday, after repeatedly denying that Kerry was aboard any boat.

Psaki's acknowledgment marked a stark reversal from previous denials that Kerry was on any boat whatsoever.

A "CBS This Morning" producer spotted Kerry on his boat Wednesday afternoon on Nantucket, where Kerry has a vacation home. When "CBS This Morning" senior producer Mosheh Oinounou tweeted about the sighting, Psaki issued a denial, calling the tweet "completely inaccurate" and said Kerry has been "working all day and on the phone dealing with the crisis in Egypt."

Also on Wednesday afternoon, the White House released a photo of the president and his national security team meeting in the situation Room. Kerry was not present in the photo, but his office said he did participate in the meeting via a secure phone line.

On Thursday night, CBS News obtained a photo of Kerry on his boat and sent it to the State Department, asking whether they still stand by their denial that Kerry was on a boat.

The response: "Yes."

Even after CBS presented the Obama administration with photographic evidence that Kerry had been on his yacht, the Obama administration still stood by its false claim that Kerry had not been on his yacht.

Nothing to see here folks. Just watch my left hand as my right steals all your money. Everyone in the White House are obvious liars, professional liars at that.

Actually the entire Zero administration could go on permanent vacation and the world would be better off.

When have they ever told the truth?!

Lying is what they do and who they are to the core.

You have to loathe these people. They make it impossible not to. You can’t look at them or listen to them without your blood pressure reaching for the sky and your stomach twisting into knots. At least I can’t. ALL of them.

Please remember this important line from his 2008 speech!

This was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal, and we began to lie like no lying liars ever anywhere!"

There’s nothing new under the sun. Corruption such as this should be expected from those who seek the power to control others. It’s happened everywhere else. Seeing them in control of the country which fought so long to avoid this kind of despotism is not easy, however.

And it’s beyond disgusting that fools still support them. Sick and evil people being supported by a bunch of idiots.

I wouldn't even call them professional, because they keep getting caught. I'd say they have moved into the realm of psychopathic, where they don't even care if you know they're lying, because they pay no consequences.

That’s my feeling.

We were better off with him on his boat than in the way.

We aren’t speaking of anyone here who performs any real service anyway.

I’m probably putting myself on an NSA or IRS watch list for saying this, but I think a functioning torpedo would serve the country and the world much better than when he decides to go off vacation.

Who cares where he was? If he was ON the yacht or OFF the yacht, his effectiveness as Sec. of State is the same - no effect whatsoever, voting present, that's it.

You think the Egyptian generals or any other country in the region even looks over their shoulders to see what the Obama Administration thinks?

Nobody cares what Kerry thinks.

The whole so-called “Peace process” (that does not exist) and the parties involved are just biding their time until a more normal and mature US leader comes into power.

Let him Para sail, fish and relax - that is why he took the job in the first place...

Don’t worry America, The SOS and POTUS keep in constant communications over the special Yacht-to-Golf-Course communication link set up by the NSA.
