"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America 's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that, "the buck stops here.' Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better."
~ Senator Barack H. Obama, March 2006

Years ago it was suggested that, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." But since all the doctors are now Muslim, I've found that a bacon sandwich works great!

Re: Quote of the Decade
With few exceptions,politicians have no honor,no integrity,no moral compass to guide them. I for one am sick of all of them. They turn my stomach to listen to them spout lie after lie.They have no shame. We have let it get away from us and its going to be near impossible to stop now.Greybeard wrote:"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure.

Re: Quote of the Decade
politician - one who tells the voters what they want to hear during the election cycle, then once elected gets an extrodinary case of amnesia and trys to find the best way to serve his own needs while forgetting about the people he works for.

Re: Quote of the Decade
Politics, the word is Greek in origin. Poli means many, and tics means bloodsucking arachnids.
Never initiate force against another. But should someone do violence to you, retaliate without hesitation, without reservation, without quarter, until you are sure that he will never wish to harm - or never be capable of harming - you or yours again.KYFHO
