Gawain 0 #1 November 22, 2009 What I find most interesting about this piece is the talent the President used in what was not a simple "wardrobe malfunction" but an equipment failure. The reporting is pretty even handed as well, making the viewer fully aware of the work that goes into this kind of stuff. President Obama's Remarks in the face of an equipment deficiency. Lucky, I'm certain you'll have some thoughts to share about this.So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

Amazon 7 #17 November 23, 2009 Quote But Obama has only had less than a year and already has alot to show for it The drunk from Crawford already had an exceedingly lost lsit of Texicusisms to his gredit in 2001 alone. I REALLLLY love his economic brilliance of the first one6 trillion dollars of DEBT under him and the deadenders here in SC are still trying to lick his cowboy boots for him.http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/George_W._Bush 2001 My plan reduces the national debt, and fast. So fast, in fact, that economists worry that we're going to run out of debt to retire. Presidential Radio Address (24 February 2001) [4] It was amazing I won. I was running against peace and prosperity and incumbency. June 14, 2001, to Göran Persson, unaware he was still on live TV, as quoted in "The President in Europe: The President; Plain-Talking Bush Is Using His Charm On European Stage" by Frank Bruni in The New York Times (16 June 2001). I looked the man in the eye. I found him to be very straightforward and trustworthy. We had a very good dialogue. I was able to get a sense of his soul; a man deeply committed to his country and the best interests of his country. And I appreciated so very much the frank dialogue. On Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin, in a press conference with Putin (16 June 2001) Dealing with Congress is a matter of give and take. The president doesn't get everything he wants, the Congress doesn't get everything they want. But we're finding good common ground. A dictatorship would be a heck of a lot easier, there's no question about it. Statement, Washington, DC, (July 26, 2001); as quoted in the Seattle Seattle Post-Intelligencer (July 27, 2001). Listen to an original recording of this quote: A great people has been moved to defend a great nation. Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts shattered steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve. America was targeted for attack because we're the brightest beacon for freedom and opportunity in the world. And no one will keep that light from shining. Today, our nation saw evil, the very worst of human nature. And we responded with the best of America — with the daring of our rescue workers, with the caring for strangers and neighbors who came to give blood and help in any way they could. Address to the Nation (September 11, 2001) Those in authority should take appropriate precautions to protect our citizens. But we will not allow this enemy to win the war by changing our way of life or restricting our freedoms. Remarks by the President In Photo Opportunity with the National Security Team, September 12, 2001 I can hear you, the rest of the world hears you. And the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon. Impromptu speech given at Ground Zero at WTC site (September 14, 2001) Reporter: Do you want bin Laden dead? Bush: I want justice. And there's an old poster out West, I recall, that says, "Wanted: Dead or Alive." "America's New War: President Bush Talks with Reporters at Pentagon", CNN.com, 17 September 2001. URL accessed on 2007-01-24. When I take action, I’m not going to fire a $2 million missile at a $10 empty tent and hit a camel in the butt. It’s going to be decisive. Spoken at a September 13, 2001 meeting with the four senators from New York and Virginia. Reported in "A President Finds His True Voice", Newsweek (September 24, 2001) My administration has a job to do and we're going to do it. We will rid the world of the evil-doers. As quoted in "[http://archives.cnn.com/2001/US/09/16/gen.bush.terrorism/ "Bush vows to rid the world of 'evil-doers" at CNN (16 September 2001) This crusade, this war on terrorism is going to take a while. Remarks on the south lawn of the White House (September 16, 2001)[5] Our war on terror begins with al Qaeda, but it does not end there. It will not end until every terrorist group of global reach has been found, stopped and defeated. Address to a Joint Session of Congress and the American People (September 20, 2001) [6] Every nation, in every region, now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists. [7] Address to a Joint Session of Congress and the American People, September 20, 2001. Our nation, this generation, will lift the dark threat of violence from our people and our future. We will rally the world to this cause by our efforts, by our courage. We will not tire, we will not falter and we will not fail. Address to a Joint Session of Congress and the American People, September 20, 2001. [O]ne of the great goals of this nation's war is to restore public confidence in the airline industry. It's to tell the traveling public: Get on board. Do your business around the country. Fly and enjoy America's great destination spots. Get down to Disney World in Florida. Remarks at Chicago's O'Hare Airport (September 21, 2001) [8] Well, you know, I think the American people are sacrificing now. I think they're waiting in airport lines longer than they've ever had before. Press conference, in response to reporter asking why he hasn't called for any sacrifices from the American people (in the war on terror), and whether he intends to do so. (October 11, 2001) Lucky me, I hit the trifecta. Statement to budget director Mitchell Daniels, mid-September; as quoted by him in an address to the OMB Conference Board (October 16, 2001) repeated as a dubious joke through 2002: at Robin Hayes for Congress and Elizabeth Dole for Senate luncheon, Charlotte NC, February 27; [9] at Latham for Congress Luncheon, DesMoines IA, March 1;[10] at Saxby Chambliss for Senate Dinner, Atlanta GA, March 27;[11] at Graham for Senate Luncheon, Greenville SC, March 27;[12] at Cornyn for Senate Luncheon, Dallas TX, March 29;[13] at Fisher for Governor Reception, Philadelphia PA, April 3;[14] at Leaders of the Fiscal Responsibility Coalition, Eisenhower Executive Office Bldg, April 16;[15] at Heather Wilson for Congress Luncheon, Albuquerque NM, April 29;[16] at Simon for Governor Luncheon, Santa Clara CA, May 1;[17] at Taft for Governor Luncheon, Columbus OH, May 10;[18] at 14th Annual World Pork Expo, DesMoines IA, June 7;[19] at 21st Century High Tech Forum, Eisenhower Executive Office Bldg, June 13;[20] at Texans for Rick Perry, Houston TX, June 14.[21] You are either with us or you are against us in the fight against terror. Press conference, with President Jacques Chirac of France. (November 6, 2001) I was sitting outside the classroom waiting to go in, and I saw an airplane hit the tower. The TV was obviously on. I used to fly myself and I said, "There's one terrible pilot." Quoted in Elisabeth Bumiller (2001-12-05) "A Nation Challenged: The President" New York Times. Colloquial English allows Bush's remark to be interpreted as "I saw that an airplane had hit the tower." The world must know that this administration will not blink in the face of danger, and will not tire when it comes to completing the missions that we said we would do. Press conference, Crawford, Texas (December 28, 2001) "We're going to get [Bin Laden] Dead or alive, it doesn't matter to me." 12/14/2001 [22] Bush's words elsewhere was that he is "determined" to capture Bin Laden dead or alive, and is confident about succeeding [23] But all in all, it's been a fabulous year for Laura and me. 12/21/2001 White House release: President Highlights Administration's First-Year Accomplishments Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
