Just a reminder as we approach the 2012 elections. The largest terrorist attack on the United States happened on a Republicans watch.
"But everybody knows that!" you may be thinking. No, not quite, the voting population is consisting of more and more people who were either too young or, in the future, not even born yet when 9/11 happened. Because of this and because of the current rhetoric used by the cons there will come a time when a sizable proportion of the voting public thinks that 9/11 happened on Clinton's watch.
Consider the rhetoric, below are a few of the more common talking points we hear on TV and read on the internet, probaby radio too but I don't listen to talk radio
"Clinton did a terrible job protecting us"
"Clinton (didn't do this) and that led to 9/11"
"Clinton (did this) and that led to 9/11"
"Bush kept us safe"
"Bush kept us safe after 9/11"
And the whopper that's not really common but I'm going to add anyway
"There were no attacks on Bush's watch"
Now going by just the first five who's watch do you think 9/11 happened on? Sounds like it happened on Clinton's watch to me, I mean after all didn't Bush keep us safe? And didn't Clinton do a terrible job at protecting us? Even the "after 9/11" modifier could be interpreted to mean that 9/11 happened on the waning days of the Clinton Presidency.
I'm not saying this is a conspiracy by the cons in that they all sat around a big table nodding and winking. But they would love for it to happen and if the current rhetoric continues uncontested it will happen.

Is this the message President Obama (assuming he runs for a second term and gets the nomination) going to run on in 2012?
