>I don't know that it was 'no big deal.' I also don't know that in both cases, it was intentional lying or a knowing that what was said was not factual. However, I really don't know and I think it may be the case that we may never know for sure. It is hard to believe a President could intentionally lie about such serious things, but then, oh yeah, I must be living in a dreamworld....

No big deal, period. Did any country protest the lie? Were there any diplomatic notes?

Just shaking their heads.
