This Whole Administration in a Nutshell

Asked if the threat of terrorism on U.S. soil has been reduced significantly since invading Iraq, Bush said: "I think it's been reduced. I don't think we're safe."

Yes, we're doing a good job. And yes, you should still be scared to death. Vote for us because we'll protect you, but we won't protect you enough so that you'd feel safe enough to vote for someone else.

That's been the entire message, with all its inherent contradictions, for the last 4 years.
