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.

Saw a Star Trek program like this once. Kirk looked at a man and said everything I say is a lie. “I am lying.” Is it a lie or not?

Some parallel dystopian future Orwell/Huxley society where up is down and wrong is right.

Host is not delusional. He thought he’d just toss in a Republican President to go with a KNOWN liar, FDR. There are no people alive who remember Abe Lincoln so it was safe, but wrong.

On the first day of Trump’s presidency, he absolutely must rescind Bozo’s EO hiding all of Bozo’s background!

That depends on what the definition of “honesty” is....

He is right. Maybe someday we will find an honest politician, but probably not in my lifetime.

Just pulling one fer’instance out outta my hat, Rocky:
Rod Blagojevich is the former Illinois Governor who tried to sell Obama’s seat in congress.
Obama was asked by the press if he had ever met Gov. Ron Blagojevich.

Barack Obama: “I only saw Rod Blagojevich one time ... and that was in the stands and from a distance at a Chicago Bears Football Game.”

Anyone have a photo of Rod Blagojevich, Barack Obama and Richard Daley during a rally in Chicago, April 16, 2007?

This guy lies like a bear rug.

So I guess he will now resign...?
