"Strategery"? ...Sorry, but it *still* beats Bush. "Strategery"? "Misunderestimated"? <BR/><BR/>Take out the pauses and it flows pretty well. It parses as English. There are no non-existent words. Pauses are a small price to pay for that.<BR/><BR/>Oh, now you got me using the <A HREF="http://politicalhumor.about.com/od/bushquotes/a/dumbbushquotes.htm" REL="nofollow">Internets</A>:<BR/><BR/>"I promise you I will listen to what has been said here, even though I wasn't here." --at the President's Economic Forum in Waco, Texas, Aug. 13, 2002<BR/><BR/>"We spent a lot of time talking about Africa, as we should. Africa is a nation that suffers from incredible disease." --Gothenburg, Sweden, June 14, 2001<BR/><BR/>"I know how hard it is for you to put food on your family." --Greater Nashua, N.H., Chamber of Commerce, Jan. 27, 2000<BR/><BR/>"Do you have blacks, too?" --to Brazilian President Fernando Cardoso, Washington, D.C., Nov. 8, 2001<BR/><BR/>"I don't think anybody anticipated the breach of the levees." --on "Good Morning America," Sept. 1, 2005, six days after repeated warnings from experts about the scope of damage expected from Hurricane Katrina<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>See? Even Bush admits it:<BR/><BR/>"So what?" –President Bush, responding to a an ABC News correspondent who pointed out that Al Qaeda wasn't a threat in Iraq until after the U.S. invaded, Dec. 14, 2008<BR/><BR/>Orwell would be proud:<BR/><BR/>"I just want you to know that, when we talk about war, we're really talking about peace." --Washington, D.C. June 18, 2002<BR/><BR/>"Rarely is the questioned asked: Is our children learning?" --Florence, South Carolina, Jan. 11, 2000<BR/><BR/>"Too many good docs are getting out of the business. Too many OB-GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across this country." --Poplar Bluff, Mo., Sept. 6, 2004<BR/><BR/><BR/>And that's just the stuff that's silly on its face - it leaves out the stuff that actually parsed but was wrong, wrong, wrong. On the other hand we can look forward to plenty of that from Obama.bobnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07715238134585125684noreply@blogger.com
