I see there are a few of you who are still in denial about the trouble your new president is in. Here’s a video which clearly points out the lie that Obama told, which is that neither he nor his team were in talks with Blagojevich about his Senate seat. That is simply not true.

The point is that Obama did not even have to lie about talking to the governor. By lying he made matters worse for himself. But lying is so ingrained in his personality that his immediate reaction to a perceived threat is always to lie first and then work backwards from there.
