Bush Admits Bald-Faced Lie On Rumsfeld

Here is the transcript of the President's press conference today.

And here's the amazing quote where the President simply admits that he lied about a major question regarding a major war so as not to affect the elections:

QUESTION: Thank you, Mr. President.
Last week you told us that Secretary Rumsfeld would be staying on. Why is the timing right now for this? And how much does it have to do with the election results?
BUSH: Right.
No, you and Hunt and Kyle (ph) came in the Oval Office and you asked -- Hunt asked me the question one week before the campaign, and basically it was: You going to do something about Rumsfeld and the vice president? And my answer was, you know, they're going to stay on.
And the reason why is I didn't want to inject a major decision about this war in the final days of a campaign.
And so the only way to answer that question and to get you onto another question was to give you that answer.

He goes onto say he also hadn't met with the man who would replace Rumsefled yet. But still, isn't that kind of breathtaking? The President is saying outright "I lie about important issues before elections." We know that he does, but to admit it!
