Famous Presidential quotes

[Chas]

"Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this Wall!" Ronald Reagan June 1987

"Ich bin ein un Berliner" John F Kennedy june 26 1973

Monica suck my "Lollipop?" Is that acceptable ??

Bill Clinton August 1998

 

[EagleRJ]

"Ich bin ein Berliner"

translation:

"I am a jelly doughnut"

Ask any German. What Kennedy should have said was "Ich bin Berliner".

I'll take verbal gaffes, pratfalls, or falling asleep in meetings any day over the way Clinton disgraced the office.

And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.

The Republican nominee-to-be, of course, is also a young man. But his approach is as old as McKinley. His party is the party of the past. His speeches are generalities from Poor Richard's Almanac. Their platform, made up of left-over Democratic planks, has the courage of our old convictions. Their pledge is a pledge to the status quo-and today there can be no status quo

War will exist until that distant day when the conscientious objector enjoys the same reputation and prestige that the warrior does today.

John F. Kennedy

can't remember the dates since I didn't make my presense on this earth until 78.

More presidential quotes by George W. Bush


"You're free. And freedom is beautiful. And, you know, it'll take time to restore chaos and order—order out of chaos. But we will."—-G. W. Bush, Washington, D.C., April 13, 2003


"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."—Grand Rapids, Mich., Jan. 29, 2003

Should any Iraqi officer or soldier receive an order from Saddam Hussein or his sons or any of the killers who occupy the high levels of their government, my advice is don't follow that order," Bush said. "If you choose to do so, when Iraq is liberated, you will be treated, tried and persecuted as a war criminal." —St. Louis, Mo., Jan. 22, 2003


The law I sign today directs new funds and new focus to the task of collecting vital intelligence on terrorist threats and on weapons of mass production." --George W. Bush, White House, Nov. 27, 2002

President George Bush (no. 1).......

"Funny, I don't remember eating that"

After he tossed his cookies all over the lap of some Japanese Govt. Official.

"It should be easy to see, the crux of the biscuit
is the apostrophe"

 

[2000flyer]

"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...depends on what "is" is?

'W' was once asked by a British child what the White House was like. Bush’s reply was, "It is white."

While campaigning for the presidency, George W. Bush was overheard commenting to his running mate Dick Cheney "There's Adam Clymer, a major league a.s.s.hole from the New York Times!"

BTW, who else remembers George W. at a concert waving at Stevie Wonder? (like the poor guy could actually see him)

Jimmy Carter

Don't forget the time Carter went to Poland and said that he loved the Polish people and his translator's Polish came out something to the effect that the President lusted after Polish people.
Well, he did admit to that in the Playboy interview.
Wait a minute, I'm really dating myself; never mind.

 

[EagleRJ]

Or when Richard Nixon went to Europe and got out of his limo giving the huge crowd the "#1" gesture. Too bad he was really giving the crowd the finger!
In Europe, they use the index finger, not the middle finger, to flip somebody off.

"I am not a crook"

-- Tricky Dicky

 

[CoopDog]

And who could forget.....

"I did not have sexual relations with that woman....."

Do I need to even mention who said it? But it is without a doubt the one I've seen most often repeated on the news.

"Ich bin ein un Berliner" John F Kennedy june 26 1973

I don't mean to nitpick, but Kennedy died in 1963. I'm sure it's just a typo but....

[Typhoon1244]

"They said this issue wouldn't resignate with the People. They've been proved wrong, it does resignate."

"We cannot let terriers and rogue nations hold this nation hostile
or hold our allies hostile."

"Families is where our nation finds hope, where wings take
dream."

...some examples of George W.'s genius, just for balance.

He should be sent back to Texas slappin' hogs where he belongs.
