President William Clinton was a liar and a womanizer.  Which is to  
say that he cheated on his marriage with willing subordinates.  When  
the story became public he tried to bend the words to avoid the  
natural consequences.  I give him enough credit to know that what he  
was saying was false.  That means he was lying.

I looked for increased truth when his term ended.  Instead we got  
President Bush.  Bush says things that are obviously not true.  What  
scares me, is that George isn't lying.  He doesn't know that he is  
making false statements.  He believes them!

What is worse?  A President who will lie to you with a straight  
face?  Or a President who doesn't know the difference between what he  
is saying and reality?
