They Can't Lie Like They Used To

The internet is a wonderful thing, particularly for catching politicians lie, as they regularly do. Little Green Footballs has Obama lying about why he doesn't wear an American flag pin and then calling bloggers liars for accurately quoting him.

Personally, I don't care if he wears an American flag pin or not. I think the reason he gave--that he felt all jingoistic and everything--is quite telling about Obama as a person, but I don't think it is a crucial argument concerning his unelectability. OTOH, he must be feeling a lot of heat from somewhere for not wearing one and for the reason he gave. That would explain his altered story and the fact that now reporting what he says is "lying." Sounds like a few moonbats I know.
