Words, words, words


Which do you believe?  Here's a few from Obama's press conference today:
Q: ...I want to come back to the debt ceiling, because in the summer of 2011, you said that you wouldn’t negotiate on the debt ceiling, and you did.

So as you say now that you’re not going to negotiate on the debt ceiling this year, why should House Republicans take that seriously and think that if we get to the one-minute-to-midnight scenario that you’re not going to back down? ...
PRESIDENT OBAMA: No, no, look, what I’ve said is is that I’m happy to have a conversation about deficit reduction.
Q: So you technically are willing to negotiate.
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Nope. ...
