It pains me to see the news coverage of the Clinton...

gaffes. She is not my choice as the nominee, but she would certainly get my vote in the GE. The whole sniper story makes me sad for her, because it so did not have to happen.

and the "news coverage" that causes you pain would stop.

And, if she is unclear on the truth (faulty memory, whatever) she has staff working for her that can figure out if she is telling the truth or not before she stands in front of hundreds of her supporters (and the news cameras) and tells another fable. That's what *I* would do if I was running for President. It's what most people would do. I wonder why she elected not to? And since she did elect not to, does that show the kind of judgment that one wants in a President?

BO is just as disingenuous as HRC, but is not held to the same standard for truth. For example, Hillary said she remembered running from the plane to the armored car when she obviously didn't. Was that a lie or a mistake? And if it was a lie, what does it say about her honesty as a public official?

Compare that to the fact that, for months, Obama said Rezko only gave about $60,000 to his campaigns, but when new records showed up, he changed his story to say he suddenly remembered that Rezko had actually given more like $150,000 to his campaigns, and then -- when yet more new evidence turned up -- he had to change his story again to admit that Rezko had actually contributed (so far as we know) more like $250,000 to Obama's rise to power, not to mention helping him with a sweetheart deal to buy a mansion. Now, who mistakes $60,000 for $250,000? And what does making such a "mistake" say about BO's honesty as a public official?

Was Obama's revised and then re-revised statement a lie (like you say Hillary's revised statement was?) or was it a mistake (as Hillary said it was)?

An objective person would have to say that either both people are liars, or both people made honest mistakes. Only if you have different standards for truth for different people, can you say Hillary lied while Obama was merely mistaken.
