"It's clearly a budget. It's got a lot of numbers in it."





"Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning?"  (Great grammar there, Mr. President)





"It's no exaggeration to say that the undecideds could go one way or another."





"I have opinions of my own -- strong opinions -- but

I don't always agree with them."   (So he's bipolar?)





"We're concerned about AIDS inside our White House - make no mistake about it."    (Wo.... what's going on in THERE O.o)





“You teach a child to read, and he or her will be able to pass a literacy test.”   (Great grammar there, Mr President)





“Most imports are from outside of the country”





“Well, I think if you say you're going to do something and don't do it, that's trustworthiness.”





“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.”   (Note:  The original saying is: Fool me once, shame on you.  Fool me twice, shame on me)





“To those of you who received honours, awards and distinctions, I say well done. And to the C students, I say you, too, can be president of the United States.”



“For diplomacy to be effective, words must be credible - and no one can now doubt the word of America.”







Today, we salute you Mr. President of the USA.

    There are plenty of things to jump on W for other than misspeaking.  Trust me, if you spoke as much as the U.S. President does you would have some doozies to put up too.  I speak a lot in my career and I'm very glad no one is taking note of some of the "misspeaks" I have in one day alone.  It's impossible for anyone not to have them. 



    Why not jump on his policies instead.  They are much worse than any slip of the tongue he's done.

    I already have.  (see: Did you know they are building a Berlin Wall through Baghdad?)



    I just made this topic because while I was searching for presidential quotes, I came across these and laughed my butt off.

    Considering his policies are as bad as his mispeaking, I can only assume these are freudian slips.

    Observe: irony.

    Your argument is like a two legged dog with an eating disorder...weak and unbalanced.

    Aren't Freudian slips when you speak inner thoughts instead of what you meant to say?  O.o   So by that logic, are his speaches really him just reading a teleprompter?



    Today, I salute you, Mr. American president.

    It is?  Would you prefer I didn't leave out the implied parts:



    "That is wonderful grammer, Mr. President"





    Or I could remove the sarcasm:



    "Learn proper English"

    more irony...I'm not going to tell you why, eventually you'll google "grammer" and figure it out.

    "A dictatorship would be a heck of a lot easier, there's no question about it."

    um, where's the punchline?





    Seriously, that is the simple truth, most of our US presidents have had this same sentiment, whether or not they actually wanted it to occur. Being the president of a democracy is a hell of a lot harder than being the dictator of a dictatorship.



    Let us take the Iraq war, since that's fresh on our minds. For the moment, ignore all the lovely tidbits spilling out of the yaps of bullshitters on both sides of the political divide. Visibly removing Saddam from power was a worthwhile and necessary goal. Preserving a non terrorist freindly government after Saddam's removal was also a highly worthwhile goal. A dictator could have achieved both goals simply by killing everyone who resisted (that goes for dissenters at home too), and extending his own rule. Bush had to settle for providing a reason that the American public would wake up and give a shit about before making a move. Which, of course, backfired in his face when Saddam managed to hide/get rid of the WMDs we knew he had and was testing ever since the war in Kuwait.

    No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

    I don't see why that is a funny quote. It's the truth. No form of government is as effective as a dictatorship.

    That's spelling not grammar, thank you very much.  I've known since childhood that I can't spell.  Makes very little difference to my grammar.  I believe if this were a game, you just pwned yourself.



    Irony: Irony is a literary or rhetorical device, in which there is a gap or incongruity between what a speaker or a writer says, and what is generally understood.





    Therefore, what I said was not ironic.  Good day.

    I have a whole calender of Bush quotes. My personal favorite is..

     

    Bush took a visit to France in 2001 and a young french girl asked him "What is the White House like?"

    Bush replied "Well, it's White."
