Obama: Just another politician — with either an organization problem or a greater lying problem

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.
