First, Barack Obama denied anybody from his staff communicated with Canada’s consulate in Chicago with back-door comments that Obama’s anti-NAFTA comments were just for show. Now, he’s still denying that Austan Goolsbee gave any such assurances to Canada, while admitting Canadian official Joseph DeMora did meet with Goolsbee.
The reason he’s changed his comments as to whether or not such a meeting took place? He claims he didn’t have better information at the time.
Well, he either:
• Got caught in two lies originally, and he’s now admitting to one of the lies while covering it up with a new lie (he knew about the meeting from the get-go) or
• He’s approaching stereotypical Hillary Clinton disorganization levels.
From what I’ve seen of Obama so far, my money is heavily on option A.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
