Paul Ryan's Marathon Lie

[RoadToad]

Do you really want us to start listing Obama lies?

No, I don't need anybody to, I can do that myself. My point is that I'd like for somebody to respond to criticism of Ryan or Romney some other way than by spouting off about Obama. Really, all that does is validate the criticism in the first place.

Unless I can be pretty certain someone is intentionally lying I tend to give most people the benefit of the doubt.

The way I took it when I first read about this is that he likely didn't really remember the time and just made a guess. I used to run track in school and I know there came a point as I aged where I really couldn't recall my times any longer. I don't think he was intentionally lying to make himself look better, but just mistakenly thought he was in the neighborhood of what he used to run.
