Now why would someone speak of support for something, then undercut it?
You are attempting to deny or obscure the fact that someone issued a very clear challenge to anyone to find one single example of a statement the president made that was true, and that I have done so. I find it absolutely fascinating that at no point has anyone said, "Okay, granted. I was obviously using hyperbole when I issued that challenge." Inability to admit losing a bet is not a very good personal quality. Obviously, the challenge was not a very serious one, but I took the time to answer it, because I find many of the political arguments I hear attacking specific individuals to be sloppy, poorly thought out, undisciplined, and false. If you attack a person, e.g. the president, it is not very admirable to make all sorts of wild, sloppy, and false statements, devoid of any citation to proof.
