Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't one of the main reasons why Bush started the war in Iraq was because of so-called Weapons of Mass Destruction?
I haven't heard of these weapons being found yet Mr. Bush.

no, it's not always the reps fault. everyone seems to forget that all of congress voted to go back into iraq. now, it's bush and co who apparently lied (remember colin powell leaving when he found out he'd been duped?) but congress went right along. and members of congress are privy to much of the same info as the prez, but he makes a convenient scapegoat.
the main problem is that when money was flowing, so was the spending. now, the bubbles have burst, and our feds aren't in much of a position to get us out, since they're already so deep in debt. which causes a drag on our economy recovering. so, now we have a dog chasing it's tail, and the only 'meaningful' thing obama has produced this year is health care, which is a further drain on the treasury. he put that first, after saying the economy would come first. oops.
