This really doesn't bother anyone?

I think what is important here is that Obama went on National Television and said "It did not happen" (referring to the meeting) the anchor double checked with him and he said again "it did not happen".
Now, today he says "the meeting did happen".
Did he or did he not lie to the American people on National TV when he said the meeting did not happen?

"2/28/08 - Rice: ‘There had been no contact.’ "The Canadian ambassador issued a statement that was absolutely false. There had been no contact. There had been no discussions on NAFTA. So we take the Canadians at their word...period." [MSNBC, Susan Rice, 2/28/08]"
"2/29/08: Sen. Obama: ‘It did not happen.’ Anchor: "So, completely inaccurate, did not happen, end of discussion." Sen. Obama: "It did not happen." [WKYC TV, 2/29/08 <http://www.wkyc.com/video/player.aspx?aid=55958 <http://www.wkyc.com/video/player.aspx?aid=55958&bw>"
"3/10/08 – Sen. Obama: The meeting did happen, they did discuss NAFTA, but advisor just said Obama wanted to make NAFTA ’stronger for U.S. workers.’ "So here’s what happens. You’ve got one of my economic advisors goes and visits a Canadian embassy and they’re asking him questions and he says, ‘Well, Senator Obama isn’t planning to repeal NAFTA, but he wants to amend it to make it stronger for U.S. workers.’ The Canadian embassy writes it up as, ‘Well, maybe Obama is not as tough on NAFTA as you might think.’ And the Clintons start waving this and saying, ‘See? Actually, he’s the one.’" [Mississippi Rally, 3/10/08]"
So this is the "new politics" I'm supposed to be so impressed by?
