Of course most of the sane people in the country knew every word out of the organizer in chief was a lie. Now his own people confess it is the truth. At this moment what does it matter?

David Axelrod: Obama Was 'Bullshitting' Opposition To Gay Marriage In 2008
"I’m just not very good at bullshitting," Obama told Axelrod after one of those events, as quoted by Time.

2. This is going to cause some cognitive dissonance. Among the people who say that people who lie aren't fit for office, while still supporting President Obama. One of the current anti-Warren memes is that if she did decide to run for office finally, that would make her a horrible liar for saying she has no intention to run and isn't running and is thus 'ineligible for office'. But besides this, we've seen that the current favorite 'anti-Warren' candidate is 'Bosnian sniper fire dodging' HRC. I think they're going to have to give up on 'lying makes you ineligible for office', or never see another person ever elected President.
Lying is ok if you really mean for good things to happen. Sex isn't sex is you cum in her mouth... or dress...

17. The problem for warren is she actually was a republican Into adult life. This would only hurt her in the pRimary. But it would help her in the general election. Nobody cares about politicians who may have said they wont run but do end up running. Most can understand the decision to do so involves a lot of thought and people can change their mind.

7. So, basically, nothing that he says is to be taken seriously. Suspected that.
Nothing Barry says should be taken as honest.

16. Because that should be the takeaway from an article about gay rights?
You know what I takeaway from this??? That thank the non-existent Christ he did lie.....
Think about gay rights with a McCain presidency.
He lied to us but it was for a good reason.

21. yes. anyone who saw what he said before running for president
Could see he was not opposed to it.
He probably got lucky in McCain not exploiting the issue because they could easily have brought up what he said before and questioned his stand on it.
Only reason I'm ok with it is because i knew he would and has worked to get gay rights passed and been very public with his support .
I knew he was lying to us and I am happy because it works towards a 'greater good'.
Never trust a single liberal, leftist, or muslim.
