Golf-gate! (President George Bush has lied.)

"I don't want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the Commander-in-Chief playing golf. I feel I owe it to the families to be as -- to be in solidarity as best as I can with them. And I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal. ... I remember when [Sergio Vieira] de Mello, who was at the U.N., got killed in Baghdad as a result of these murderers taking this good man's life. And I was playing golf -- I think I was in central Texas -- and they pulled me off the golf course and I said, 'it's just not worth
it anymore to do.' "
--George Bush, interview with Politico

He said he gave up golf in-solidarity with the families of service personel killed throughout the world, including Iraq.

But, Bush played golf at least two times after making the above statement, and some say he actually gave it up because of his knee.

Check out the facts in this article...
