Well, let's see. When this adminstration took office we were running a surplus. After 90 billion on a pipe dream of a missile defense system, 200 billion on a foolish and unnecessary war, and tax cuts primarily rewarding the top 1% (of which I'm one, thank you very much), we now are running a record deficit, real (that is, not part-time or temp) unemployment is up, real average salaries are down by thousands, american jobs are being outsourced at an unprecedented rate, corporate welfare has actually increased, the average household credit card debt is pushing 5000 dollars...

That's not a prevalent meme. In other words, most Americans have not heard that spoken of in a serious way.

Rumsfeld "We know where the weapons of mass destruction are" Bush "There's no doubt that Saddam has weapons of mass destruction"... Blah blah blah. They were all saying it, and it's clear without a shadow of a doubt that Wolfowitz's intelligence group in the White House was cooking the books in favor of that lie. Did Bush know he was lying? Noone will ever know, most likely. But indisputably, with all evidence assessed, he was at the very least, repeating lies. Cheney's still going around implying that Saddam and Al Qaeda were partners. Even the Brit intelligence people have now gone on record as saying that they thought the drive to war was a "grudge match" between Bush and Saddam. (London Times, today)
