As Politico notes, Obama asked for it, and he got it—evidence for all to see that, like every other politician known to man (and woman), he is a liar:

I mention this, and not Hillary Clinton’s repeated lies, because we all expect Clinton to lie. She’s a Clinton, after all, and is advised by the former Liar-in-Chief. Her lying isn’t newsworthy.

When Obama lies, however—and when he challenges his interlocutor to prove him wrong and the cyber elves do prove him wrong and the rest of us then spread it around for everyone to see—well, then Obama loses.

If his genius campaign manager David Axelrod hadn’t created a totally false image of Obama the Messiah, none of this would matter now. But because he launched a celebrity with a halo instead of a warts-and-all politician, his client will continue to have problems.

Or so I think. We shall see.
