didn't have time to search.. That's why his contradictory statements pushing his book comme across as such a "stab in the back" to the President he served. Doesn't he think anyone will look up what he said? I'm amazed at what our politicos think they can get away with that no one will be able to find the video or quote from the "way back."

But, then...they aren't challenged by any USMainstream Media when they contradict themselves or outright lie. So...what could they care about what some online news group says. Forgetting that that's were the more intelligent seekers and the young are getting their news these days.
