You feel chafed for being lied to, it's not much different when Bush I did with NO NEW TAXES, Clinton did with IS or SEX, or Obama doing it now with BETTER TRANSPARENCY. I don't. I know the politicians are going to lie. That's part of their job, and it's going to happen again.
Intentions are not the same as actions, I'm more interested in judging by actions, not the intentions. His intent was to remove Mr. Heussein from power at any cost, I understood that from the beginning.

I was too young to remember no new taxes from bush. I do remember the definition of "is" nonsense. And I don't agree with Obama on most of his policies. But when I'm lied to, I don't care who does it, I will call them on it and they will loose all credibility in my view. Bush lied, it's been proven. Whether you think his lies were justified or not is irrelevant to the fact that he lied.
