These People are Running America?!

While I'm not going to defend, nor deny, President Bush and his infamous "Bush-isms," but take a look at what our current leaders have to say:

"When the stock market crashed, Franklin Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the princes of greed, he said 'look, here's what happened.'" - Vice President Joe Biden


FDR was not President when the stock market crashed, and television had not yet been invented.

"It was also interesting to see that political interaction in Europe is not that different from the United States Senate. There's a lot of - I don't know what the term is in Austrian - wheeling and dealing..." - President Barack Obama

Austrian isn't a language, it is a country. Austrians speak German.

"If we do everything right, if we do it with absolute certainty, there's still a 30 percent chance we're going to get it wrong." - Vice President Joe Biden

"Every month that we do not have an economic recovery package, 500 million Americans lost their jobs." - Speaker Nancy Pelosi


At the of this comment, there were only 300 million Americans.


"Over the last 15 months, we've traveled to every corner of the United States. I've now been in 57 states? I think one left to go." - President Barack Obama

Need I say anything?

This is a quoted response from columnist/blogger Camille Paglia. Ms. Paglia is a self-described liberal and feminist, however often comments with the utmost utilization of common sense. This quote is a response to, among other things, a comment regarding the tea party movement and the liberal reaction:

"It is bizarre that liberals who celebrate the unruly demostrations of our youth would malign or impugn the motivation of today's protestors with opposing views."
