Misspeaking or lying

Hillary Clinton made a statement that she arrived in Kosovo as First Lady amidst sniper fire, and that her welcoming ceremony did not happen, and she had to run from the helicopter ducking for cover. Later it was brought out by others who had accompanied her that this had never happened.. Clinton in her book never even mentioned this as happening. She was just trying to make the crowd more sympathetic to her. When this was brought up her handlers said she just misspoke when she mentioned this as having happened.

Face it folks she did not just misspeak. She had total recollection of what happened and how it happened she just wanted to make the trip seem much more heroic than it was. Yes she was in a war zone, and yes there was some inherent danger to being there, but they flat out were not under fire when they arrived. This was an out an out lie, but because she is considered a choice for President we can not call her an out and out liar which is what she really is. No we have to say she simply misspoke, she was so under pressure she did not realize what she was saying. Do we want this as President of this country? If she is under pressure in the oval office and she misspeaks what are the ramifications of her misspoken words?

When I was in the service I had the opportunity to meet such celebrities as Loretta Lynn. If I told people in a matter of conversation or when I was speaking to a group that I had passionately kissed her on the lips, people wouldn't hesitate to call me a liar. Well folks that is exactly what Hillary did when she made this statement about Kosovo. This is probably not the first time she has "misspoken" or more accurately lied. Is this what we do want in the White House running the country in a time of crisis? Think about it folks, lets not sugarcoat a lie, call it what it is!
