Did he lie?
noun
1.a false statement made with deliberate intent to deceive; an intentional untruth; a falsehood.
2.something intended or serving to convey a false impression; imposture: His flashy car was a lie that deceived no one.
3.an inaccurate or false statement.
4.the charge or accusation of lying: He flung the lie back at his accusers.
verb (used without object)
5.to speak falsely or utter untruth knowingly, as with intent to deceive.
6.to express what is false; convey a false impression.
By definition of #1, #2, #3, #5 and #6...it is by definition a lie.
I do believe he knowingly told these people that he "would see to it that they didn't lose their job" when he knew they would of course lose their jobs. What other alternative was there? They would stay fully employed by playing cards all day?
He is a politician....period.
Excellent point, retort and opinion. I agree and it just gripes so many. Imagine if he would say on air, like on NBC or some other radical liberal media, and said, "I was mistaken and cut NASA's budget when I had promised to maintain. I and my advisors are lookinga at the sitruation over carefully".....
Even that would make him look at least honest, human and flawed like the rest of us. I wish others here would likewise.
Good post,
