I guess what Clinton meant was " I did not have a meaningful relationship with that woman". Just another flub I guess.
Any attempt to be misleading by a president is disgusting.

This thread is reflective of the pettiness that pervades the GOP and is the reason that the GOP is dying. They wallow in the minutia and the insignifigant; they spend their energy on drunk frat boy folly. Its pathetic.
We also have 10 pages of democrats attempting to defend and "explain" this recorded statement as something else.

If it such an example of "minutia", why are you so concerned about it?

The defense is without substance or proof. Speaking of pathetic.

It was well-established in the 2008 campaign Obama's grandfather was a WW2 vet, and he didn't even attempt to "use it" then. It's obvious his own father would be too young to have served, and (as is proven here), even Republicans are smart enough to do basic math, so do you seriously believe he was attempting to deceive the public?

I believe this thread should be archived in the Smithsoneon to prove why the GOP lost the 2012 Presidential Election. I mean I thought the Dems had reached a low point in 2004, but this takes the cake.

And your sole purpose on this forum is to attack Obama...all day, every day. What exactly is your point?
Challenging the powers that be is patriotic. You and your cohorts on this forum should try it sometime. You might actually realize that Barack Obama is not really the Messiah....and he doesn't schit Skittles and piiss rainbows. (Yes, I'm serious! He really doesn't!!)

And yes, most people confuse other family members at least once, usually far more often than that.
And your proof of this? Other than you saying it, of course.

And you appear to be confusing (poor) comedy with governing.

If you wish this thread to get better, actually study some history and stop throwing flames such as in your quoted statement at people.

Let's see. Equivocating to you is a flat out statement of opinion with no wiggle room.

That is far more disturbing that your squirming to try and find an acceptable rational for Obamas' lie. And considerably more dishonest.

As a "HistorianDude" you should be able to see that, but...

Oh well.

And any simple slip by a president is not an attempt to be misleading.

Ignoring that I am not and never have been a Democrat, the purpose is not to defend Obama, it is to expose right wing ideologues who jump on simple misstatements like this as malicious, irrational, pathetic, trivial and small minded.
