If Hillary Clinton is truly a liar, which I seriously doubt, she learned how to do it from the experts: Richard Nixon, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Carl Rove, Robert Gates and Donald Rumsfeld.

These individuals spent eight years lying to the American people, destroying our economy, ruining the American reputation overseas, killing thousands of American soldiers in an unnecessary war and many more thousands of Iraqi citizens.

What a shame we can’t go back and charge these six with with treason!
