The subject of lying on Sunday shows sounded familiar to some, because a pattern was noticed:

Geithner said O-admin told him to mislead the public about the economy. Susan Rice mislead people about Benghazi. Most transparent admin eh?

If Timothy Geithner was told to lie by the White House, then why would Susan Rice not lie about Bengahzi? http://t.co/RSUVwKg5lG #tcot #gop

Geithner’s claim that the Obama administration asked him to mislead the public caused many to express mock surprise:

How might the White House have approached Geithner about this?
I hear the White House convinced Geithner to lie to the American people by saying "You know, kinda like you did on your taxes." #tcot
