Both were lies. I don't know. I think the George Bush comment was much more misleading.

But Bush was told that major combat was over. He didn't deliberately lie like Obama did.

Bush also had the support of Hilary Clinton, John Kerry, Democrats along with 30 other nations to go to war.

What a strange comparison. A war of aggression that killed hundreds of thousands of innocent people, including over 4000 Americans, and Pres. Obama trying to overhaul a completely broken healthcare system that leads to the premature deaths of even more people than Bush's lie did.

Obama didn't kill thousands of people with his lie like Bush did.

Where is the lie that Bush said? Major combat operations were over in Iraq by May 1, 2003. Baghdad had been seized, and Saddam and his Baath Party were no longer in power. Furthermore, the USS Abraham Lincoln was ending its involvement in the Iraq War and was already returning to port in San Diego when Bush gave his speech. For them, the mission was truly accomplished.

As Bush said, we began mopping up the insurgents and rebuilding Iraq. Major combat operations were indeed over.

On the other hand, you have a psychopathic liberal freak Marxist fascist President who deliberately commits fraud upon the American public costing taxpayers billions in canceled policies.

But it was based on lies by republicans in the white house, otherwise we would have never gone to war.

Yes, because President Bush staged an ostentatious landing on the deck of the aircraft carrier in full flight gear beneath a big self-congratulatory banner to celebrate the "mission accomplished" of the Lincoln returning to port. Do you honestly believe anyone is buying that attempt to rewrite history?

But Bush didn't say, "Now we begin the monumental task of mopping up and rebuilding what we destroyed. Oh, and by the way, that's going to take another eight years, billions of dollars, and thousands of additional U.S. casualities," now did he? No, he said, "Mission accomplished!" when, in fact, the mission had barely begun.

The delirium of the far right is perfectly encapsulated in this post.
