The saying used to go, “Honesty is the best policy.” That has evidently gone out the window. Senator Clinton’s “memory” of landing in Bosnia under sniper fire has proven to be a bad call on her part. The thing which puzzles me, is her  explaining it away as saying she “mis-spoke” and how it makes her look more “human.”  They also used to say that “Birds of a feather flock together” and this whole thing reminds me of a “past President” who didn’t know if he had sex or not. If you or I “mis-spoke” during a job interview and were caught, we would (rightfully) be labeled a liar and not get the job.

            How can any candidate or elected official expect the voter to have confidence in them when they feel that being caught in a lie makes them “appear more human?” How can any country trust us when our leaders lie to get elected and don’t care if they get caught? Most importantly, why do people continue to support a person they know will tell a blatant lie just to get what they want? Are we as a society that gullible? Are we that desperate to have our egos stroked, and be told we will be taken care of? If that is the case, we deserve what we get, and we are getting it in this election. The history lessons of having presidents with legendary honesty has become a thing of the past. I imagine George Washington and Abe Lincoln  are rolling in their graves...
