"I would put our legislative and foreign policy accomplishments in our first two years against any president — with the possible exceptions of Johnson, F.D.R., and Lincoln — just in terms of what we've gotten done in modern history"

He specifically limits his claims to legislative and foreign policy accomplishments. There is more to being "the best" or even "4th best" than those two areas. For instance, Obama's achievements in economic policy are not notable and in the area of civil liberties he has actually set us back.

If you want to argue that there are presidents beyond those mentioned by Obama who have had greater legislative or foreign policy accomplishments, make the argument. But, don't come in here telling outright lies.

Jeff, you are so so sensitive. If this blather of Obama was so on target, why did it get edited out of the broadcast?

I am not commenting on the interview which I did not watch. i am commenting on your posting a demonstrable lie.

You are welcome to examine any lie that you wish to examine. However, the existence of other lies does not justify your own lie. You are only further discrediting yourself.

Jeff, you silly goose of course you are commenting on the interview. It is the topic of this thread. The fact is that you are lost in attempting to defend Obama's laughable yet sad commentary and further lost trying to defend 60 Minutes editing to minimize the exhibition of Obama's delusional state of mind.

Jeff, I realize that you are grasping wildly when you assert that a lie has been told. FYI a headline is a headline. Headlines are followed by more information, details. For you to suggest that a lie has been told when the headline is followed by more detail and the idiots exact words just shows what an ass you can be.

So sorry, he said he would put his accomplishments up against any other president besides the few he mentioned. Putting up against surely does suggest the superiority complex this man carries in every aspect of his life. He may soon suggest that he composed 7 operas in two years, shot 40 under par and had 12 holes in one in one round of golf. He is delusional like the departed head of North Korea. It is just a matter of degree, but Obama has time to catch up.

Again, if Obama is as delusional as you make him out to be, please list the presidents who have greater legislative and foreign policy accomplishments. Why must you rely on ad hominem and false attacks when you claim to have the facts on your side? Obama has not composed an opera and, therefore, has not claimed to have done so. He does have legislative accomplishments.

Jeff, Obama had it all his way the first two years and the polls seem to show that the majority feel we are on the wrong path. Whatever he accomplished when he had all the cards apparently had no lasting effect. Obama also lead some to believe that he was going to charm the pants off adversarial foreign leaders. Can you name just ONE that he has won over with his charms?

I understand your desire to change the framework of this discussion. If I had told a blatant lie and been called on it, I would probably want to reframe the issue as well. My argument is not whether Obama was right or wrong. My argument is that you lied about what Obama said.

Someone is trying to change some framework here. YOU.

Did you attend the Eric Holder school of deceit, deception and delay???
