Trust but verify, or had you forgotten?

I cannot believe that the President lied, but I care too much about the reelection to let him be manipulated by those who wish to hang on to power (err--Rummy and the Defense Policy Board) that they will recklessly jeopardize this President simply to protect their own careers.

Agreed, always "trust but verify". He may not lie, but he's had various officials under him do some shady things, and in the end, he is responsible for their conduct.

I little confused by the logic here. Clinton lied and was bad. Bush lies and is good. A lie is a lie and is a betrayal of the trust we placed in him. Are we to overlook this because he's a Republican? I don't know where to turn for the truth.
