Sort of reminds me of Sen. Daschle, shortly after the 911 attacks, complaining that he was never told about any security bunker/shadow-government for government leaders. Then, someone informed him that ‘he was standing in it’.
These politicians (both parties) lie and expect everyone to have short memories.
Heck, we see now that Team Bush (GW, Paulson, etc.) were lying to the American people during all of 2008 — because technically, the recession began in Dec 2007. I recall Bush and Paulson making several tv appearances during the spring of 2008 with their ‘all is well, the economy is sound’ speeches. They were just hoping to fend it off until January 20, 2009, but the housing bubble burst and exposed them as frauds.

Not that I have any deisre to defend Bush, but come now, you must remember he touted a “stimulus” bill back in spring of ‘08. I certainly remember, seeming as how I got $600.
