3rdnlng Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 The Quote of the Decade: “The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that, "the buck stops here.' Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.” ~ Senator Barack H. Obama, March 2006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janicks Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 "Here in Asia", while he was in Hawaii. For quotes given by presidents who don't can't talk good no one is ever going to beat GWB. My favorite three: "There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again." —Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 17, 2002 "Too many good docs are getting out of the business. Too many OB-GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across this country." —Poplar Bluff, Mo., Sept. 6, 2004 "Families is where our nation finds hope, where wings take dream." —LaCrosse, Wis., Oct. 18, 2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"It was usually an effective tactic, another one of those tricks I had learned: (White) People were satisfied so long as you were courteous and smiled and made no sudden moves. They were more than satisfied, they were relieved -- such a pleasant surprise to find a well-mannered young black man who didn't seem angry all the time." -- Barack Obama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janicks Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 It's not even that. Bush fumbled some speech and Obama purposely made premeditated statements that were the opposite of his intentions and/or actions. You mean a politician said one thing to one group of people because he thought it is what that group of people wanted to hear and he thought it would help his career? I'm speechless and feel slightly dirty. I truly hope Obama is the first and last to do this or I am out of the whole politics thing altogether. But with Obama, I don't think his backtracking on campaign statememts were 'purposely premeditated' as you stated. I think it was more that he was a very young, junior politician who didn't yet have his political identity (remember that he was against mandatory health insurance during the campaign) or political seasoning. I always got the sense that his positions were more unintentionally fluid and it worked to his advantage in 2008. Anyway, as to the Bush quotes I posted earlier, it was just something I thought was funny. (And those quotes are funny. This is not a matter of opinion.) Not everything has to have an agenda attached to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking Bush is an illiterate dufus (which he is) does not preclude one from thinking Obama is a giant douche (because he is.) "With me or against me".....can also be seen as "for the truth or against it". Polarized? Perhaps, but, why shouldn't something like "we need immediate and comprehensive reform of entitlements, energy, immigration and tax policy or this country is in serious trouble" which is absolutely true, polarize those of us who can accept this truth from those who can't? Why shouldn't: "we need to repeal Obamacare, first and foremost because it's bad law, suffers from numerous design flaws, these flaws are pervasive and have so many dependencies, that simply trying to fix them cannot work. With so many design flaws the only reasonable thing to do is start over." serve to polarize those who are looking out for the country from those who are looking out for their political party by denying their obvious mistakes? I want to know which people in government are avoiding, blocking, obscuring this truth. I want them to stand out like the turds in a punch bowl they are. We need to find out who is keeping us from solving our problems, regardless of party, and then do whatever is legal to get rid of them, or, at the very least, make them irrelevant. Look, Nancy Pelosi is in the best possible position, FOR THE COUNTRY, right now: she has no power, and, she is a crackpot that they stand up in front of the media every so often, to unintentionally serve as a great reminder for the people who forgot in 2006 why we need to keep her and those like her, from ever getting any power.
