We are expected to believe many things that are just plain ridiculous, and apparently, we will.
The latest, "I can't believe you said that" comes, once again from Jay Carney, Presidential Press Secretary.
There are a recorded list of 277 Presidential one on one meetings with key government officials, there is but one meeting listed with Kathleen Sebelius. When questioned about this, Carney indicated that there were more meetings but they were "secret".
Let's examine this premise. First, what would have been so much more sensitive in discussion with Sebelius than with his other key advisors like the National Security Secretary or Homeland Security? Second, assuming secret meetings (which is quite a stretch) why did they need to be secret? Both possible scenarios are troublesome. The most likely, that there truly were no meetings, indicates a lack of involvement and leadership of the biggest social experiment of our lifetime. No meetings translates to no culpability. The second possibility, that there were in fact secret meetings, indicates a desire or need to deceive.
A little common sense will tell us that this entire explanation smacks of funny business. Why are we being lied to? Ask yourselves that.
