In fact, he doesn't even mention WMD outside of saying that Saddam tried to acquire nuclear, chemical or biological weapons....or wanted too at one point.
Here, a quote from Obama...
Yeah, indeed he read the intelligence reports.

I don't really get what you are going for here.
Bush and his cronies flat-out lied. They lied to everyone about everything. I don't know what intelligence reports you are talking about specifically, but I'm pretty sure they weren't handing out reports that let everyone know they were lying.
Now it's certainly debatable/valid that the Democrats and Congress should have voted against this war, but very little of the blame lies on them. The people who make the real decisions made the real decisions.
It's like this...
Defendant: "Your honour, my friend told me he bought the car at Sunridge Nissan. I had no idea he forged the bill of sale and burned down the showroom".
Judge: "You are just as guilty as him for accepting a ride".
