Saddam Hussein was in violation of the agreements that followed the 1991 Gulf War.

What did Momar Gaddafi do to the United States that warranted us toppling him and cheering his torture, abuse, and murder? “WE came! WE saw! HE DIED!!!” - Sec. of State Hillary Clinton

Obamcare is definitely Obama’s Iraq.

Obamcare would never had passed if Obama told us we would lose our insurance then have to buy more expensive policies.
He wouldnt have been reelected.

Congress never would have voted for Iraq if Bush told us that he wouldnt find any WMDs, and how much it would cost in lives and $$$, and that he would wait till late 2006 to demand a surge (~ 4 years after invasion) funding from a new Democrat controled House(Pelosi) , and that we would end up walking away from Iraq anyway,

For his part, Obama now says: "What we said was, you can keep it if it hasn't changed since the law passed." A lie is an untruth told with intent to deceive.

Lies by omission are still lies.

Never mind that, in building the case for war in Iraq, President George W. Bush relied on the unanimous opinion of all 16 U.S. intelligence agencies.

Both 41 and 43 were very good at putting together coalitions. They knew how to fight a war. What to do after the war, not so much. The big mistake was trusting these Intelligence agencies. The ones that missed the Boston bomber even after the Russians warned them twice.

George Bush had every Leftist media outlet helping the Democrats stir up hatred against him. Today, every one of those Leftist media mouthpieces is busy 24/7 covering Obama’s butt, as scandal after scandal comes to light. That is the difference.

"Read my lips, no new taxes!"

"If you like your plan, you can keep your plan!"

The difference is what, exactly?

Gotta love selective fact reporting... Bush withheld action in Iraq for over 6 months while the UN screwed around which gave saddam time to shuffle his weapons off to syria, now the UN has finally found them. George did ok....

When you are not permitted to declare “victory” in a war, and have no say in the subsequent rebuilding effort (including the form of government that is established), you can never WIN that war.

Baraq Hussein Ubama declared MISSION ACCOMPLISHED at the United Nations with regards to the so-called Arab (Islamist) Spring. How’s that working out?

He said that no American lives were lost in the toppling of Momar Gaddafi. O’RLY??? Al Qaeda’s on the run. O’RLY??? Nations respect us more (especially after the saber rattling at Syria). O’RLY???

Given the weapons recently “found” in Syria, IMO President Bush did NOT lie. The MSM conveniently covered the truth.

OTOH Obamacare has been a baldfaced, Marxist/Fascist, LIE for the purposes of controlled the lives of Americans and stealing their money which was PUSHED by the MSM.

Obama used a Lie to deconstruct 1/7th of this nation so he could remake it into a socialist country. He willfully committed this LIE with intent to remake this country.

Anything that GWB said that did not come true was never said in an attempt to intentionally manipulate this country in any way to change it forever.

Obama has made the greatest LIE known in the history of our Republic because of 2 things; 1 - it was intentional, 2 - its impact is so incredibly vast that it will cause a change to our American way of life.

Its ends justifying the means right our of any playbook by Marx or Lenin.

For the life of me, I cannot understand why Bush did not fire George Tenent.

Add Norman Minetta to that also (after 9/11).

Last night they made fun of the Naked Emperor at the CMA Awards but I hear he's up for a CYA Award.

WMDs and Bush Lied.......This is ‘old’ news... “a BJ doesn’t rise to the level of an ‘impeachable offense’”.......”we’ve been over and over and over this already”, “let’s move on with the business of the American people”, and “what difference does it make at this point?”

What we have now is the ‘current’ business of the American People, and they are being lied to. They are being fleeced, they are being raped, and they are being herded into figurative Obamacare cattlecars. That is what is ‘current.’

Well, there is one. In Bush's case, he was REALLY saying "Know New Taxes"... so, he was telling the truth! (Although, it's possible he was referring to there being NO Gnu taxes).

I fail to see how 0' was using Clintonspeak in his point about keeping your plan (? unless he was referring to ewe's keeping their plans, but I digress...).

Progressives are all tyrants at heart. It is the nature of their philosophy.

You don’t see the tyranny clearly until they acquire the means...
