If the truth doesn’t get its pants on, and get them on, on the double, Obama will have have transitioned himself from American president to Uncrowned King of the World Intuitive Winston Churchill’s warning: “A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on” can now be taken literally.
