It started when he promised to reduce the size of government.
Then he said we should pursue a 'humble' foreign policy.
Soon after he became President.
I don't remember anything significant he did prior to 9/11 except blame Clinton, the dead horse, for all of his problems.
After that tragic event lying seems to have become the M.O. for the administration.
All I see is there MAY BE an incorrect statement, but not a lie!
There was the lie that Saddam was tied to Al Queda(sp).
The lie that Iraq was an imminent threat to the USA.
The lie that Iraq had nuclear weapons or would soon, based on forged documents that we knew were false.
The lie about the alumininum tubes being used to create those weapons.
The lies about massive amounts of chemical and biological weapons ready to be used against the USA.
The lies about UAVs ready to attack the USA.
etc.
Now, tell me that slaughtering thousands of people to keep a sex scandal off the tv screen compares to mistating 13 words...
I think a lie by a politician that causes the death of a single person should require that the politician be expected to face the same fate.
