Obama - 2002

From the Barack Obama speech opposing the war in lraq on Oct. 2, 2002 at an anti-war rally

I don't oppose all wars. ...What I am opposed to is the attempt by political hacks like Karl Rove to distract us from a rise in the uninsured, a rise in the poverty rate, a drop in the median income to distract us from corporate scandals and a stock market that has just gone through the worst month since the Great Depression.

So 2002 was like the Great Depression - as is 2008 and 2009 and 2010
