"We are at a defining moment in our history," he said that day. Now...

Somehow, though, they managed to forget one of their favorite rallying cries in an effort to heap praise upon President George W. Bush and simultaneously denigrate President Obama.  On an appearance on Sean Hannity's show, Dana Perino exhibited an immense lapse in memory in stating with relief that "we did not...
