"I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully."

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


"We'll let our friends be the peacekeepers and the great country called America will be the pacemakers."


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


"I know how hard it is for you to put food on your family."

Those seem fake...

Nope...I sure wish they were. There is a magazine called Slate that keeps track of them and updates them on a regular basis.

Katie, I don't want to start an argument, but I have a question for you. Although George Bush is not the smartest man around (I admit that, even though I voted for him), he is still our president. And as Al Gore said in his concession speech, "he is our president now, and we must stand behind him." So let's wait until he his out of office until we start bashing, ok?

why? If he's a boob people should be allowed to take the piss, It's called freedom of speech.

Leaders of all democratic nations are subject to insults, why should Bush be any different?

Poking fun at him...just like any politician is entirely acceptable in a democracy. If I do something stupid I get bagged on.....justifiably so....it doesn't mean that the people who bag on me wouldn't support me if I needed them. Just because he's the president doesn't mean I have to revere every word from his mouth. They bagged on Ford constantly while he was in office for his clumsiness and poor golfing ability. Why was it okay then and not now? Relax!

Higher education is not my priority.

I don't want nations feeling like that they can bully ourselves and our allies. I want to have a ballistic defense system so that we can make the world more peaceful, and at the same time I want to reduce our own nuclear capacities to the level commiserate with keeping the peace.

Quotas are bad for America. It's not the way America is all about.

I have learned from mistakes I may or may not have made.

If the terriers and bariffs are torn down, this economy will grow.

I do need somebody to tell me where Kosovo is. I know how to ask.

I know how hard it is for you to put food on your family.

They misunderestimated me.

They want the federal government controlling Social Security like it's some kind of federal program.
