Who said,

about our need for education

"You teach a child to read, and he or her will be able to pass a literacy
test." 

about the economy

"The recession started upon my arrival. It could have been some say
February, some say March, some speculate maybe earlier it started, but
nevertheless it happened as we showed up here."

 or (speaking intelligently about the gravity of finding out where we went
wrong), in  assessing the 9/11 Commission's report

"It reads like a mystery, a novel. It's well written."

making a plug for "Aleve" pain reliever in speaking about alleviating
suffering in Africa

"A free, peaceful Zimbabwe has got the capacity to deliver a lot of goods
and services which are needed on this continent in order to help aleve
suffering."

huh?

"Maybe between the time I left Camp David and here I'll learn more."

regarding unemployment

"The more money they have in their more pockets � in their pockets, the more
likely it is that somebody will find work."

in support of more terrorism

"And out of the evil done to America is going to come a more peaceful world,
and a more better America..."

did he say that out loud?

"We've got an issue in America � too many good docs are getting out of
business. Too many OB/GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all
across this country."

to help American soldiers blown apart in Iraq

"I went to the Congress last September and proposed fundamental�supplemental
funding, which is money for armor and body parts and ammunition and fuel."

speaking to wounded Iraqi citizens

"I'm honored to shake the hand of a brave Iraqi citizen who had his hand cut
off by Saddam Hussein."

regarding Dale Jr. after Dale Earnhardt, Sr. died in a crash on the last lap
of the Daytona 500 in 2001

"I had the honor of calling Dale Earnhardt, Jr., after the race, to
congratulate him. I said, there's nothing wrong with a fellow following in
his father's footsteps."

regarding the meaning of peace

"The second pillar of peace and security in our world is the willingness of
free nations, when the last resort arrives, to retain aggression and evil by
force."

huh?

"And then we marched to war, war in Afghanistan and Iraq, all of which
affected the people's confidence. That's a tough � tough hurdles to cross,
when it came to our economy."

upon taking over the world

"The world is more peaceful and more free under my leadership."

Forgetting the US has more nuclear (not nucular) weapons than any other
nation and is the only country to use them on anyone, anywhere, ever... or
maybe we aren�t free like we thought.

"See, free nations do not develop weapons of mass destruction."

redefining "objectivity."

"I appreciate people's opinions, but I'm more interested in news. And the
best way to get the news is from objective sources, and the most objective
sources I have are people on my staff who tell me what's happening in the
world."

adding a fourth branch of government while leaving out the third.

"There's too much leaking in Washington. That's just the way it is. And
we've had leaks out of the administrative branch, had leaks out of the
legislative branch, and out of the executive branch and the legislative
branch."





reassuring us that the wartime president of the most powerful nation on
earth does not think too much

"I'm also not very analytical. You know I don't spend a lot of time thinking
about myself, about why I do things."

because he had nothing else to say

"I am the master of low expectations."

speaking to reporters about the situation in Iraq

"It will take time to restore chaos and order�but we�order out of chaos."

and

"The war on terror involves Saddam Hussein because of the nature of Saddam
Hussein, the history of Saddam Hussein and his willingness to terrorize
himself."

at least he�s willing to give up

"I was proud the other day when both Republicans and Democrats stood with me
in the Rose Garden to announce their support for a clear statement of
purpose, "You disarm, or we will.'

what use does a man of action with his finger on the nuclear weapons arsenal
have for clear thinking? we just need clear action

"There's no doubt in my mind that we should allow the world worst leaders to
hold America hostage, to threaten our peace, to threaten our friends and
allies with the world's worst weapons."

"I promise you I will listen to what has been said here, even though I
wasn't here."

"Well, I think we need to work with governments and institutions and NGOs to
encourage the institutions of a free society, see, one of the interesting
things in the Oval Office�I love to bring people into the Oval Office�right
around the corner from here, and say, this is where I [have an] office, but
I want you to know the office is always bigger than the person."

I don�t know if we got the right guy but we got someone

"You know, let me talk about Al Qaida just for a second. I made the
statement that we're dismantling senior management, and we are. Our people
have done a really good job of hauling in a lot of the key operators. Khalid
Shaikh Mohammed. Abu Zubaida. Ramzi--Ramzi alshibh or whatever that guy's
name was."
unwavering in his certainty that one way or another WMDs will appear in Iraq

"But we will bring the weapons and, of course�we will bring the information
forward on the weapons when they find them. And that will end up�end all
this speculation. I understand there has been a lot of speculation over in
Great Britain, we've got a little bit of it here, about whether or not
the�whether or not the actions were based upon valid information. We can
debate that all day long, until the truth shows up."

on Isreal, (freedom and peace haters keep to the left please)

"We are in the process of helping them implement a strategy which is was
described to us in Aqaba as to how the Palestinian Authority want to
reconstitute a security force in order to make sure the terrorists, the
haters of peace, those who can't stand freedom do not have their way in the
Middle East."

Helping to reassure Hurricane victims in FLA that his visit is not for
political gain but for...

"Some one of my visits�one of the reasons I'm visiting here is to ask the
question, you know, to people, because if there's moving too slow or people
are saying one thing and the other thing is not happening, now's the time to
find out."

and he has a clear vision for health care

"There was a good news story in Mississippi. I went down there and�it wasn't
because of me, it was because the doctors and the citizens understand the
cost of a trial system gone array and they got themselves a law."

Sorry about your son being blown apart and returned to you in a plastic bag
but I�ll make it all better, just let me give you a little lov�n

"There's only one person who hugs the mothers and the widows, the wives and
the kids upon the death of their loved one. Others hug but having committed
the troops, I've got an additional responsibility to hug and that's me and I
know what it's like."

and if that doesn�t work

"The solid truth of the matter is, when you find�if you want to help heal
the hurt, if you want to you hurt people�help people in pain, the best way
to do so is to call upon the great strength of the country, which is the
compassion of our fellow Americans."  (did I mention there is only one
member of congress who has a child in the military)

Where the hell is my speech writer?

"This is a�this is a�any strike's a tough�tough situation, but this one
happens to come at a�or a lockout is a tough situation, or no work is a
tough situation�is to come at bad time."

what I meant was

"I should have clarified it by my statement. I just clarified it by my�not
should have�I just."

Just wanted you to know not to worry you are in good hands if you vote for
me or don�t complain too loud if my brother helps me steal another election
by ignoring the basic one man one vote system that is democracy because...

"We are ready for any unforseen event which may or may not happen."
