Old Obama: "I Got 'im Out"
New Obama: "Chuck Hagel Did It"

I've gotten tired of stealing from Hot Air so I'm going to steal from the next post down.

Nah, I'll steal from Hot Air.

Obama is trying out his fourth story on why he didn't inform Congress. His third story -- "The Taliban told us to not tell Dianne Feinstein!" -- didn't go over so well.

So here's take four: See, we only made this decision hours before we executed it so there was no time to inform Congress, according to Senator "Dick" Durban.

Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, the No. 2-ranked Democrat, presented the timeline as an explanation for why President Barack Obama didn't inform Congress 30 days before the deal. Republicans and some Democrats have sharply criticized the president for failing to notify them and claim he broke the law. Obama says he acted legally.
"They knew a day ahead of time the transfer was going to take place," Durbin told reporters in the Capitol, where military officials briefed the Senate Armed Services Committee behind closed doors. "They knew an hour ahead of time where it was going to take place."

In political terms, this is what you call "A Big Fat Lie." I might not "finalize" the exact flight I'm taking until days before I get on it, and sometimes I even change a flight day-of, but I sort of let people know I'll be traveling that day.

See, I know in advance that I'll be on a flight, even if I'm not exactly sure when it will be landing.

Durbin seems to be claiming that Obama has the right to withhold the swap from Congress because the exact time and place of the exchange are TBD.

This is preposterous.

It's also the fourth tale they've told.

They're, get this, lying.

An honest man doesn't need four or five mulligans before he stumbles upon something that can be plausibly seen as a truth.
