Would the White House lie? Sure, they might lie about offering Sestak and Romanoff jobs in order to get them to quit the primaries. And they might lie about certain core planks of ObamaCare.

That is their position, and all I was doing was explaining why, from a conversation with the president, why it appears that that’s their position."
