How will we remember Dubya?

Recommended Posts

Many presidents conjure up a single phase or sentence that exemplifies them:

Cavin "The business of America is business" Coolidge
Harry "The buck stops here" Truman
Richard "I am not a crook" Nixon
Gerald "Ooops" Ford
Jimmy "I've committed adultery in my heart" Carter
Ronald "I'm sorry I can't recall" Reagan
George H.W. "Read my lips" Bush
Bill "I did not have sex with that woman" Clinton

So what will it be for Dubya? So many choices. I like: "I want to be a war president"
...

The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

Aren't we having a debate in another thread? :P
The fact you've started another thread... does that mean I've won? :P
I thought it was supposed to be harder than that.
And, I expected to learn something.
Oh well, guess that's what you get when you have high expectations.

I'ts got me thinking of quotes to which I remember President's. They are somewhat different.

Herbert Hoover - "Older men declare war. But it is the youth that must fight and die."
FDR - "A date which will live in infamy."
Truman - "The buck stops here" - I like that one.
Ike - "The military-industrial complex"
Kennedy - "We choose to do these things not because they are easy but because they are hard."
LBJ - ""You got their peckers in your pocket, their hearts and minds will follow." (thus, the explanation and the baseline philosophy of the welfare state)
Nixon - "It's the responsibility of the media to look at the president with a microscope, but they go too far when they use a proctoscope."
Ford - "If Lincoln were alive today, he'd be turning over in his grave."
Carter - "newkewlar" - (I just always reckoned that a nuclear engineer would say it properly)
Reagan - "Honey, I forgot to duck."
Bush, Sr. - "I do not like broccoli. And I haven't liked it since I was a little kid and my mother made me eat it. And I'm President of the United States and I'm not going to eat any more broccoli."
Clinton - "African-Americans watch the same news at night that ordinary Americans do." (In an interview on Black Entertainment Network)
Bush, Jr. - "Axis of evil" and "either you are with us or you are with the terrorists."

Hey Kallend ol buddy,

I love you old buddy but did anyone else notice that: two of the eight comments are negative (if you know history) - at best.

History will not judge any president for at least 20 yrs. Kallend knows that but because his main goal is to stir something (anything) up he'll came up with his last post.

Ahhhh this is beow your standards my friend :P

Hmm. I count about 20 ongoing debates.

>The fact you've started another thread... does that mean I've won?

Sure, OK, you won. (And I didn't even know it was a contest . . .)



No, we've exceeded the limit, you must delete this thread, however, you get the absentee victory. B|

I have a few adjustments.....


Herbert Hoover - "We need to call the Army to clean up the Bonus Army."

FDR - "A date which will live in infamy."

Truman - "The buck stops here"

Ike - "The military-industrial complex"

Kennedy - "Marilyn Monroe is hot and I did have sexual relations with that woman."

LBJ - "Viet Nam is fun"

Nixon - "I am [not] a crook"

Ford - "Did someone hide my shotglass?"

Carter - "GD it, that was a fast 4 years, what did we get done?"

Reagan - "Fascism is a good thing, especially hidden behind the guise of Capitalism"

Bush, Sr. - "Read my lips"

Clinton - "I did not have sexual relations with that woman (if she was MM I would gladly admit it)

Bush, Jr. - "They misunderestimated me" (not trying to plagiarize, it is the best short answer tho) [Best long answer would be "If you fool me once..........]

Remember, there are no wrong answers, so don't be hatin on me :)

Ahhhhhh, don't cry [:/]

I think history judged Hoover immediately and it has probably lightened thru the years. Nixon is thought of the same way as he was then. People hated Lincoln immediatley, but he was revered as a hero 100years later.

I don't think it's a good thing to throw a blanket on the subject of how history judges presidents. I think it's very variable. I think the future events of the ME will play large in how history calls GW Bush.

How will we remember Dubya? As the president who did more to undermine the constitution and consolidate power within the executive branch than any president since Lincoln. The difference is that Lincoln's war was justified.



He also gave the country to the corps, just as 2 of his predecessors did, Reagan/GHW Bush

How about "Ignorance is Bliss; Incompetence is my Excuse"?:)George W. "Stay the Course?" Bush

NO STALKING.

As for Bush, we'll have some more memorable quotes after the impeachment proceedings.

Hey at least we can all agree on one thing.. it is HIGHLY unlikely that he ever got a single blow job while in office.

No wonder the fucker is so uptight.:D
