"Of course presidents lie"

[LincolnMan]

Maybe it's true that Presidents lie- it doesn't necessarily excuse the behavior. I suppose context has to be taken into consideration. A lie to save lives might be justifiable. A lie to advance a political party aim- maybe not excusable. I think when we the people elect a president we expect that person to tell us the truth. If there can be no expectation of truth then nothing really matters, does it?
