I do not really think its okay for presidents to lie. Presidents should be upfront and honest with the people. If they lie one day the truth is just going to come out and their going to look bad anyways. People don't want to be lied to. Presidents shouldn't lie because people would be mad when they actually found out the truth. I really don't think its ever okay for them to lie. Presidents are supposed to set a good example, but if they lie, people will also think its okay to lie, and that's not good.
