On Sunday former Bush mouthpiece, Dana Perino, said:

It is interesting to me how the administration allows President Obama to say things that are so quickly proven false The facts are standing in the way of their rhetoric.

This was in response to Obama's assertion that:

So any notion that my administration has shut down oil production might make for a good political sound bite, but it doesn't match up with reality. We are encouraging offshore exploration and production.

Why would he even bother to utter this fiction when his policies are well-known and not only forbid offshore exploration but defy court-ordered reversals of them? Is he tone-deaf or unwilling to acknowledge his own long-standing policies? Is he a shameless liar or a sleepwalker?
