<we'll now call you a liar whenever such information proves to be false.> I'm a private citizen. What I say has little impact. What the President says, especially what he says in the State Of The Union address, should be held to a higher standard. Much higher. The government has vast resources at its disposal; we spend $20B/y on "Intelligence". It's not unreasonable to hold the President responsible for the accuracy of what he says, especially if the results of those words get a lot of people killed. There should be no excuses.
