According to his own statements in his book.

What a shame that they took a narrow 51-48 victory probably by manipulating our terror alert levels, and really by manipulating innocent American's deepest fears

Nixon did not need "watergate" to win electon. Bush had the election anyway. Kerry was fodder.

You typing again, how is the finger?

Gradually healing. They switched me to a smaller cast that I can actually take off every once in a while, which is nice. Finger is pretty stiff though. It hurt like hell when the doc moved it around to test it out! He said that was normal though.

Everyone suspected it was the case - I don't think its the smoking gun the media is making it out to be. Actually, I find it rather suspicious that whenever Obama's poll numbers take a hit we get some story about the Bush admin or suddenly the unemployment report is 1% better than expected. All of these administrations play these types of games.

I am not saying its right, I am saying it is the usual in Washington.

very sneakily timed to gloss over the latest Nate seatbelt incident too.

I don't get it Pres. Obama made Tom Ridge write a book or he made former VP Dick Cheney going on a speaking tour? Dick Cheney spent the entire Bush Presidency hiding now the guy can't shut up.

I've been telling people from the very beginning that the whole terror level was just another bs smoke screen to get the American public scared in order to garner support for the Republican Party in elections.
