	Lots of potential problems with your questions/statements (not saying
you're wrong, but hardly conclusive):

	Why the assumption that the lies stem from Americans?

	Why the assumption of "uniform distribution?" It may well be that most
of the lies against a particular person stem from a single or small
number of sources?

	Why the assumption that Snopes is categorizing most of them?

	Also, it may well be that the number of negative statements against a
candidate/sitting president is constant, and you didn't have to lie to
criticize Bush. (gets ready to dodge fruits...).
