It’s pathological.

Pathological lying

In psychiatry, pathological lying (also called compulsive lying, pseudologia fantastica and mythomania) is a behavior of habitual or compulsive lying. It was first described in the medical literature in 1891 by Anton Delbrueck. Although it is a controversial topic, pathological lying has been defined as “falsification entirely disproportionate to any discernible end in view, may be extensive and very complicated, and may manifest over a period of years or even a lifetime”.
The individual may be aware they are lying, or may believe they are telling the truth, being unaware that they are relating fantasies.

It’s pathological. Pathological lying

No, it's calculated, focus tested lying. It's what Democrat politicians do.

actually this is LYING WITH AN AGENDA.

They know most people that hear the lie first will reject any truthful refute later. Especially, most of Holder’s peeps will believe anything the Obamas say as Gospel.
