14. Those are two biggies

We can't forget the lies used to justify the first Iraq war.
I also can't forget how he switch positions on issues just so he could become the VP. Abortion was one as I recall.
And the only reason he said the whole "read my lips" thing, was because Mondale admitted right up front that taxes needed to be increased. Bush "knew" there was a serious problem with revenues and he knew that cutting costs alone wouldn't accomplish it.
I will say, I always thought there should be a prohibition on CIA directors becoming presidents.

He was far from the worst, but he was far from the best as well. The last few days have become unbearable because they are quickly trying to make the guy into a saint just because he wasn't as bad as Trump.
