John Lockhart on CSPAN

Our Leadership at it's best:

When referring to the 24 hour access reporters will have to the Whitehouse Briefing Room for the 12/31 rollover, Mr. Lockhart with a sly grin referred to the event as the:

"Y2 fake"

Later when asked about the actual location and security concerns for the Pres during the mall event 12/31, Lockhart said :

"(shaking his head "no" while speaking (this is the single gesture which correllates highest with lying)) "We expect this to be a secure area for the president." Obviously, the shrink in me knows Mr. Lockhart was at the time of this press conference pessimistic about the planned security for the pres. on the mall.

PS--If you wanna test the "Yes" Statement verses "No" body language theory, just dig out your old VHS of Klinton's deposition in Monicagate.

(Apologize if this is a repost of topic already covered; I couldn't get online last night, and scanned titles for 12/22 and didn't see a reference to this press conference)
