100% of it is lying from day one. They lie all the way into the white house to try and get elected. They lie once theyre in the White House about the lies they told while they're campaigning.
 
If he can rationalize his promises vs his actions, he'd be the greatest wordsmith/bullshitter in human history.
 
I think people learn to rationalize bad behavior for the sake of something they percieve to be greater than themselves. Bill Clinton probably told himself if I don't lie I will weaken my parties chances...I must lie for their sake. I don't believe GB, GHWB, or BO lied I believe they went back on their word. Which to me is a whole different animal. I think they went back on their word for the same reasons though. "This thing (Iraq, middle class tax hikes,etc...) is greater and more important than my promise. I must do it for the sake of the greater good."
