How come the liar gets a pass?

President Obama was asked his view on gay marriage during the presidential race said that as a Christian, he believes that marriage is between a man and a woman.

I think he got away with this because everybody got something out of it: Conservatives figured he was lying, but he was agreeing with them so that was fine. Liberals figured he was lying, but it wasn't a problem because he is really on their side.

Miss California was asked the same question and gave the same answer the President gave. And incidentally, gave the same answer as Californians when they voted on it last Fall. There was a failed attempt to strip her of her crown and she underwent a huge amount of criticism.

Why?

Because everybody thinks that her answer is her actual view!

The deceptive guy, okay. The honest gal, not okay. It is an upside down world we live in.
