As our new President will be taking office in a few short days (can't come soon enough), I would like to pay tribute to our "beloved" 43rd President with some of my favorite quotes. I say "beloved" because some polls have his approval rating at 20% (the worst ever for a president).
Of course you can't read too much into polls, but I do think those numbers must come from 90% approval rate in Utah and an 80% in Texas. Okay I will step away before I get hit by one of your shoes, since my blog readers overwhelming support the man.
Wait a second though, speaking of shoes did you see the video below. It did raise my approval rating of Bush from 5% to 20% because how can you deny he does have some mad skills.
• "Thank you, Your Holiness. Awesome speech." April 16, 2008, at a ceremony welcoming Pope Benedict XVI to the White House.
• "The fact that they purchased the machine meant somebody had to make the machine. And when somebody makes a machine, it means there's jobs at the machine-making place." — May 27, 2008, in Mesa, Ariz.
• "We look forward to hearing your vision, so we can more better do our job." — Sept. 20, 2005, in Gulfport, Miss.
• "Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we." — Aug. 5, 2004, at the signing ceremony for a defense spending bill.
• "There's no doubt in my mind, not one doubt in my mind, that we will fail." — Oct. 4, 2001, in Washington. Bush was remarking on a back-to-work plan after the terrorist attacks.
• "I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully." — September 2000, explaining his energy policies at an event in Michigan.
• "Rarely is the question asked, is our children learning?" — January 2000, during a campaign event in South Carolina.
and my favorite:
• "There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again." — Sept. 17, 2002, in Nashville, Tenn.
