Can you just see the staff meetings? "Well, they didn't buy that lie. Who can come up with another one? Oh, and you'd better explain why we didn't say the new one first, and why the other ones are no longer operative," as Nixon's liars used to say. Of course, compared to Barack Obama, Richard Nixon was George Washington and Abraham Lincoln rolled into one. Obama is even starting to make Bill Clinton seem honest by comparison.
Somebody has to come up with a "modified limited hang-out." Remember that one?
