Not Worried About Osama 

Not Worried About Osama

John Kerry: "Six months after he said Osama bin Laden must be caught dead or alive, this president was asked, 'Where is Osama bin Laden? " He said, "I don't know. I don't really think about him very much. I'm not that concerned.' "

George Bush: "Gosh, I just don't think I ever said I'm not worried about Osama bin Laden. It's kind of one of those exaggerations."

Of course, Bush did say that. (Video link via Atrios)

Under the circumstances, the quote would be awfully hard to justify. But to lie about it? When within minutes (according to Kevin Drum) the Kerry campaign had flooded the internet with the original quote? How can the President of the United States be so unconcerned that the whole world can see that he is just flat out lying? (You have no idea how often I've asked myself that question over the last three years).
