Dear Chris Magazine,
Is Bush a liar or what?

Dear Fearing,
It's clear from your question that you are biased against our poor President. You have been influenced by the evil liberal media which is once again pushing it's anti-American, anti-family, anti-worker agenda. President Bush is no more a liar than you or me. He is the victim of the media and the Democrats twisting his words and the quality information that the White House is trying to disseminate to the American public.

For example, when he declared "Mission accomplished" on the aircraft carrier, it was well known that he meant specifically, mission accomplished for the Naval Chef Corps 201 who had provided the buffet lunch that day. But the evil left wing media jumped on the story, took the words out of context and all of a sudden Bush looks like a moron declaring victory in a war that was clearly just getting underway.

Another good example is the "relationship" claims between Iraq and Bin Laden. While Bush might have said something to the effect that Iraq was in league with "terrorists" and Cheney said that there were clear ties to Bin Laden. Now, everyone knows that what they meant was that there was only the loosest relationship between the two. Much like that time in college when G.W. liked this Kappa Kappa Gamma girl so he started calling her all the time. Sometimes she'd tell him to "go to hell", other times she just didn't return his phone calls. This "relationship" went on for two years. Once again, the liberal media jumped on this and said that just because Iraq didn't answer any of the requests from Bin Laden that there wasn't a relationship, but if that's the case my first three girlfriends and I didn't have a relationship. Also, my relationship with Annie Potts of Designing Women would also be null and void, but I've got the piece of paper with my name on it that she wrote herself...Admittedly it was delivered to me by a judge, but that's because she was shy.

More recently the Democrats have accused the Bush administration of lying when it came to their report on terror. When he first report was made showing terrorism had dropped across the board since 2001, Bush heralded it as a triumph for his "War on Terror". Now that they've revised it using actually figures and the numbers have gone up, the liberals are once again claiming Bush used those false figured to show that his "war" was succeeding knowing the figures were wrong, just like with that Medicaid bill that he got passed with the wrong numbers. This might seem wrong, but everyone knows that those numbers were produced and then distorted by the media. Check his speeches, not once did Bush claim any of these numbers or figures were hard and fast. The liberal media chose to take his words that way and then report it as gospel.

As you can see, Bush is just another honest politician, looking out for the working man and Christians and under assault from the un-American liberal media just looking to protect the fascists and communists and Muslims.
