Like the non-existent video of "thousands and thousands" of Arab-Americans celebrating the fall of the WTC on 9/11 he said he watched on TV.

It's all true. All of it. At least it is in his head.

That's the truth. My question is, who in his advisory group is feeding him this bad information? Okay, so he ran across it on the Interweb so it must be true? Unfortunately he is one of those people who is unable or unwilling to consider the possibility that he might have gotten something a tad wrong. No one should be faulted for grabbing some wrong data from time to time but we should all be grownup enough to say, gee, I now have new information, no problem. On the other hand could he just stop thinking out loud about things he hasn't been briefed on? I don't think it is too much to ask of a president.
