(AP) - Former White House aide I. Lewis ‘Scooter’ Libby prepares to meet reporters outside federal court in Washington, Tuesday, March 6, 2007 after the jury reached a verdict in Libby’s perjury trial. Campaigning in 2000, Texas Gov. George W. Bush would repeatedly raise his right hand as if taking an oath and vow to ‘restore honor and dignity’ to the White House and pledged to usher in a new era of bipartisanship. The dual themes of honesty and integrity struck a chord with many voters and helped propel Bush to the White House in one of the nation’s closest-ever elections. Americans re-elected him in 2004 after he characterized himself as best suited to protect a nation at war. Now, with fewer than two years left of his second term, the Bush administration is embroiled in multiple scandals and ethics investigations. (AP Photo/Gerald Herbert, File)
