What I Meant to Say Was . . .

I watched Joe Biden on ABC's Sunday morning show. Biden said that, Obama had said that he would personally speak to Iran in his first year as president, without preconditions. But, said Biden, that is not what he meant.
I saw the debate in which he said that. It was the so called YouTube debate. It was kind of a silly moment. The questioner said (this is pretty close, so I'll use quotes), "Will you, personally and without preconditions negotiate with North Korea, Iran and other dictators?" And Barry almost fell over himself saying he would. It was partly funny and partly pathetic. Because implied was, "It's just us Democrats here and we're all really smart and really rational. We're not at all like those moronic Republicans. They use guns, yes, guns and just make the world worse. I can prove it! Just ask that reporter on his knees in front of the Democratic candidate. But, us smart Democrats can make the world perfect with a couple of wise coversations; just ask that reporter when he gets off his knees."
There is a real problem here. And I don't mean the guy from MSNBC. If what you mean bears little relation to what you actually say, people are going to suspect you're a lying con man.
