Rod Blagojevich (is) the former Illinois governor who tried to sell Obama's seat in congress.
When Obama was asked by the press if he had ever met Governor Blagojevich, Obama replied, "I only saw Rod Blagojevich one time ... and that was in the stands and from a distance at a Chicago Bears Football Game."
What about this old, forgotten photo?.... oops.
Should get Guinness to make a new category to record lying politicians.
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.
