OT:Actual Quotes from OBAMA book

People have totally misinterpreted what he was saying here. He was
actually speaking about HRC as he was addressing that comment to Ms. L.
A little cryptic, but hey, I would have been, too! When you're in deep
doodoo it don't matter whose doodoo you're standing in.
Notice the OT added in the subject line. It should have been included in
this tread from the beginning. Now back to the thread.
And that is exactly the kind of attitude that is the root of many of our
problems, today.
Avoid unpleasant consequences, at all costs. Cover your ass. Look out for
number one.
The _honorable_ thing to do would have been tell the truth. The whole
truth. Nothing but the truth.
That _is_ part of the instructions, part of what we swear to, before giving
testimony or evidence in a court of law, isn't it?
That one famous (infamous?) quote does not hold to the spirit of the law.
Far from it.
That one line is why I condemn Clinton. I dislike his behavior. I dislike
many things he did, and approved of, but this one line clearly shows what
kind of man he is. A man without honor. A man that is willing to evade the
truth, rather than face the consequences. A man that did not deserve to be
in the high office he was in, representing the people of this land,
representing the ideals that many have fought and died for.
He may have had the law on his side, but he sure did not have honor on his
side.
He lost any respect I had ever had for him, instantly. He deserved far
worse than what ever happened to him.
