Everyone is guilty of a little "miss-speak", prevarication, a little "fast and loose" with the facts. Everyone. I admit mine but won't list them as I may "accidentally" forget a tall tale or two. My grand daughter will forgive me someday for my telling her that stars are really fireflies that went up too far and there are elephants everywhere if you look for them.
On matters of great national importance however, the truth doesn't seem to be in anyone. Salt is white one day and black the next. I don't get it.
If you have to lie to stay in office then what good are you?
