There's a website that offers a substantial reward to the person who asks George W Bush "How many times have you been arrested?"but that is not the question I most want to ask Bush. Mine's pretty simple:
"Are there any cases when it is acceptable for the President of the United States to deliberately lie to the American public?"

We need to refine the question a little since it's generally accepted that it is acceptable to lie during times of war to mislead an enemy. But that's also not what you're asking, I expect.
So I think we'd need to add the words "to gain support for a policy" to the end. That should do it.
