some presidential quotes( including * ) watch the pattern
http://www.wheretodoresearch.com/Presidents/Quotes.htm

WASHINGTON
"Happily the Government of the United States, which gives to bigotry no sanction"

JEFFERSON
"He who permits himself to tell a lie once, finds it much easier to do it a second and third time, till at length it becomes habitual; he tells lies without attending to it, and truths without the world's believing him. This falsehood of the tongue leads to that of the heart, and in time depraves all its good dispositions."

LINCOLN
"A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure permanently half slave and half free."

TEDDY ROOSEVELT
"To waste, to destroy, our natural resources, to skin and exhaust the land instead of using it so as to increase its usefulness, will result in undermining in the days of our children the very prosperity which we ought by right to hand down to them amplified and developed"

FDR
"Freedom of conscience, of education, of speech, of assembly are among the very fundamentals of democracy and all of them would be nullified should freedom of the press ever be successfully challenged."

JFK
"Mankind must put an end to war or war will put an end to mankind"

NIXON
"When the President does it, that means that it is not illegal."

RAYGUN
"Governments don't control things. A government can't control the economy without controlling people."

CLINTON
"I am going to focus like a laser beam on this economy."

DUMBYA
"See, in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda." http://politicalhumor.about.com/library/blbushisms.htm

1. Amazing quotes!
But Dumbya sounds like the total illiterate cracker boy of the bunch! Reagan and Nixon were scary but at least they were smart. Dumb and evil is baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad!
