Talking about an unflattering anecdote Vice-President Joe Biden told about former-president George W. Bush, Bush’s longtime political strategist Karl Rove called Biden “a serial exaggerator” and suggested that Biden was a liar. The Nation correspondent Ari Melber explains how this is part of a continuing effort by the previous administration to get Obama and the Democrats to take their eyes off “the ball.” MSNBC analyst and former Bush aide Joe Watkins can’t seem to remember who is the “sitting president of the United States” or whether he or his friends have met Biden.
