Obama: Honesty Is ‘Absolutely Necessary’ Trait for a President

President Obama said in an interview with CBS airing Sunday that honesty was “absolutely necessary” for a president in order to build trust with the American people.

Obama has endorsed his former secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, to succeed him in the White House. In the wake of her private email scandal and the FBI’s revelation that she was “extremely careless” with classified material, Clinton’s honesty numbers with the public are dismal. The FBI also refuted Clinton’s constant claim that she never sent or received classified material on her server, which she has dismissed as a mere “mistake.”

“FDR and Lincoln were both talented at letting both sides of an issue think that they agreed with both of them,” Face The Nation host John Dickerson said. “Is honesty overrated as a presidential quality?”

He must have read that somewhere.

[rocksblues]

Wow! Just Wow.

[Maceman]

Make him stop. I don’t think I can take another 180 days of his lying BS.

[FlingWingFlyer]

We know Barry, we know. After eight years of your bull**** we’re ready for a little honesty.

[exDemMom]

Gee, he’s coming to the party awfully late.

Too bad he didn’t value the concept of honesty BEFORE he took the oath.

[WENDLE]

That is an oxymoron. He is just a moron.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Jonathan Gruber disagrees.

Oh, brother, here we go...

Problem: Everyone associated with the Democrats -- especially their helpers in the media -- has been proven to be a liar.

Solution: Ask the president if he thinks honesty is good. If he says that honesty is good, the problem with go -- POOF!

billions of people just fell out their chairs laughing

[A_Former_Democrat]

He even lied about that

Otherwise, he’d resign by definition

And call out HilLIAR from the get-go

[WKUHilltopper]

LOLOLOLOL!! Well, since he’s never considered himself as President—more of the Lyin’ King...I reckon, technically, he’s right.

[gigster]

Obung-hole is an oxymoron. He wastes precious oxygen while he mouths and says his inanities.

[Innovative]

No kidding! It’s funny that Obama says this.

[Kozy]

You cam keep your doctor and the average family will save $2,500 per year on health care costs. Stop right there you lying piece of Chicago dog poop.

[Vic S]

The immediate next question should be:

“What is your real name and where were you born?”

[Paladin2]

Yep, a very good time to be giving Hussein a wide berth.
