That's certainly possible. It would include a poor effort on the part of the staffer and the President not knowing the answer had been given or deciding he was okay with it.

Honestly, if THAT guy was my uncle, I'd probably lie about living with him too.

White House changes story on Obama's uncle
A bit fact challenged are we? The WH staff had said the Prez did not know his uncle based on his book which was written before Obama went to Harvard.

From your above article:

Quote:
On Thursday, a White House official said the press office had not fully researched the relationship between the president and his uncle before telling the Globe that they had no record of the two meeting. This time, the press office asked the president directly, which they had not done in 2011.
If they looked up Onyango Obama in Obama's autobiograhy "Dreams From My Father", it says the two had never met.

But the book is referring to Obama's grandfather, who has the same name as the uncle. Both are named Onyango Obama.

No, I'm not the one confused. Passing a national healthcare bill was exceptionally uphill. Obama had no choice; no one was going to fight for the little people, you know the 45 million Americans without insurance, so deals had to be cut, and sadly it was necessary to deal with the devil, in this case insurance and drug companies. Sort of like being forced to work with the former Soviet Union as an ally in order to defeat the Nazi's, its the lesser of two evils. However, now that there will be National Healthcare, private insurance companies have a bit less power, paving the way for a "single payer" solution. A system in which every American has the same coverage, and the object isn't to make big profit, with health insurance company CEO's making millions in bonuses.
