It took a -great- President like you to turn that nasty, rotten old
Democratic surplus into a world-class, record busting deficit.

* Heckuva job, Georgie!

What surplus?

a) The *budget* surplus.

b) The one W inherited when he took office.

c) The one that's a matter of public record.

d) All of the above.

Hint: correct answer = d)

Please -don't- confuse the budget deficit with the *national debt*.

The national debt has merely *DOUBLED* since W took office. (Reference
7/29/08 Wall Street Journal).

Once again, Heckuva of job, Georgie. You'll be revered as the best
President this country ever had.

Bush is a dirty liar. His lie in front of an Ohio crowd after signing
an executive order to the exact contrary, as a bogus reassurance to
the public, is such a whopper that it makes Clinton's lies about sex
almost laughably trivial by comparison.

But Cheney got caught lying on videotape, black-and-white, discussing
alleged connections between Mohammed Atta and a senior Iraqi
intelligence official that we now know was unreliable information from
an unreliable source pushed to market the war in Iraq:

“It's been pretty well confirmed that [Atta] did go to Prague and he
did meet with a senior official of the Iraqi intelligence service in
Czechoslovakia last April, several months before the attack.”
- Vice President Dick Cheney, 12/9/01

BORGER: "Well, let's get to Mohamed Atta for a minute because you
mentioned him, as well. You have said in the past that it was, quote,
'pretty well confirmed.'" CHENEY: “No, I never said that.”
- CNBC, 6/20/04

If you want to dig out the full context, it's available. I requires
several paragraphs to set the context but the essence is Cheney denied
making a dishonest statement which he in fact did make.

The notoriously unreliable sources they used for evidence to support
an Iraq war may or may not rise to the level of lying, but there is no
question they MARKETED the Iraq war using FRAUD.
