Why, because conservatives aren't smart enough to recognize an infantile post when they see one?

Ha! I am a registered republican though I float over to the Libertarian side when I think they have a viable candidate.

I am however not a political hack, that will make a mountain out of a mole hill when I think it may make the democrats look bad. Especially, when its for something so stupid as this.

Its absolutley stupid to try and make Obama out to be a "liar" by using something as meaningless as this. Infact, it just makes you look bad.

Believe I am conservative or not, I do not care. I am not however a partisan hack.

Okay, I'll ask you Obamatons to try and distance yourselves from your faithful devotion to him and try on this scenario for size: You met a new co-worker and really like them; one day while a bunch of co-workers are out to lunch, said co-worker tells you that he met his wife in school. Later, you find out that he met his wife at a previous place of employment.

How would you react that the co-worker made up a total fabrication, for no apparent reason whatsoever? Please answer this as honestly as possible.

He met her while he was interning while still attending Harvard. It's not really as much of a stretch as you'd like to make it out to be. My husband actually screws up how we officially started dating all the time. Big whoop.

He's not a co-worker, he's an academic intern. He's a student in the workplace. The law firm was the classroom in that instance.

Obama met Michelle in a law firm.

What was the point of this lie, it didn't benefit him whatsoever? What does that say about someone when they make up a lie for n apparent reason? Kinda pathological.
I agree. This is much more serious than lying about yellowcake uranium, weapons of mass destruction or any other lies given for going to war in Iraq.

If he'll lie about that he will lie about anything

They met when he was a summer associate at Sidley & Austin in Chicago. She was assigned to be his mentor. He was still a law student at HLS.

Lordy lawd, you tightie righties act like he's lying about WMD's or something.

Big hairy deal, being a summer associate is like being in class sometimes. Did he lie? Nah ... he flubbed, mispoke. If Wonderboy would have said something like that, you'd call it being folksy. I'm sure he'll issue an apology to mrs. Obama tomorrow.
