He is still a statist polictician of the Democrat varity regardless of a story about his mother that he embelished. Do you still think it was a massive lie?
why did he have to embellish the story?
Was he not confident in his position?
Was a non embellished story not going to drive home the importance of the issue?
Then perhaps the issue is not such an issue?
Who cares why he did what he did, he was never a messianic figure to me. Still not a massive embellisment either. In fact without seeing a transcript I don't accept that he actually lied. You know how politicians can tap dance around an issue and make it sound like they are saying one thing but in reality they don't. Quite unlike the massive embellishments and outright lies we had from the other most recent statist we've had in office. (That statist regime would be of GWB's) this story is another one of those GOP who cried Wolfe stories.
I dont disagree that allpoliticians embellish on both sides of the aisle.
And presidents doing it is also commonplace.
However...I have an issue when someone gets as much free air time as ourt current Prtesident and he uses it to embellish things that pit one group of people against another.
His "pediatricians take out tonsils for a profit" line was irresponsible.
"The police acted stupidly" was irresponsible
Tossing in "company jet owners" is irresponsible.
