Well let me summarize: When your state's governor is running for reelection, and says that he'll increase spending on education, and then doesn't once he's elected, no one is dead.

Compare that to lying about something to start a war, and the body count is slightly higher than zero.

Moreover, the governor lying about his plans for education might irritate the voters, whereas the president lying about WMDs has thoroughly pissed off most of the world. And don't give me any of that "those countries already hated us" BS.
