Where were you?
Fortunately, all is not lost down the memory hole -- photo archives show us a couple vital events in our nation's history.
George Bush and John McCain were having birthday cake. (Oops, no, sorry, they were posing with cake -- the cake was thrown away, uneaten.)
New Orleans -- well, New Orleans was drowning. And Bush & McCain didn't seem to give a flying rat's ass.
Here's a little image I put together from non-copyrighted sources....feel free to copy & share.
