One thing that I haven't heard in this minor "bitter" scandal, is that it was a gaffe by Obama. And not even really that - some people think it was a big deal, most people have shrugged it off. Regardless, it was a mistake, an offhand comment, that's it. Every campaign has those. Obama apologized to the extent that was necessary, and most people moved on.
But Hillary's last what-she-said scandal was about taking sniper fire in Bosnia. It was a lie, and she repeated it, and then fought against apologizing for it, for a long time. A gaffe vs. a lie. One's an innocent mistake, the other is a willingess to deceive.
