"My political talents first blossomed when I organized a stickball league and appointed myself high commissioner." Part 3 Bushisms - Quotes from George W. Bush, president of the United States of America.
"If you're sick and tired of the politics
of cynicism and polls and principles, come and join this campaign."
"We've got a cultural issue in America. We've
got to change the whole way the issue is looked at. That's the mission.
Some in the political process don't have enough patience for that,
and I probably don't either." "But I also made it clear to Vladimir Putin that
it's important to think beyond the old days of when we had the concept
that if we blew each other up, the world would be safe." "Now there are some places where I think
-- you know, I've supported the administration in Columbia. I think
it's important for us to be training Columbians in that part of the
world." "I would like our farmers feeding the world.
We're the best producers in the world, and I want - I want the farmers
feeding the world." At the swearing-in ceremony for Secretary of Agriculture
Ann Veneman: "Ann and I will carry out this equivocal message
to the world: Markets must be open." "We're going to have the best educated American
people in the world." "There is madmen in the world, and there
are terror." For parents bothered by the amount of profanity and violence on TV, Bush recommended a simple solution: "Put the 'off' button on." "I mean, these good folks are revolutionizing
how businesses conduct their business. And, like them, I am very optimistic
about our position in the world and about its influence on the United
States." "I've got a reason for running. I talk about
a larger goal, which is to call upon the best of America. It's part
of the renewal. It's reform and renewal. Part of the renewal is a
set of high standards and to remind people that the greatness of America
really does depend on neighbors helping neighbors and children finding
mentors. I worry. I'm very worried about, you know, the kid who just
wonders whether America is meant for him. I really worry about that.
And uh, so, I'm running for a reason. I'm answering this question
here and the answer is, you cannot lead America to a positive tomorrow
with revenge on one's mind. Revenge is so incredibly negative. And
so to answer your question, I'm going to win because people sense
my heart, know my sense of optimism and know where I want to lead
the country. And I tease people by saying, 'A leader, you can't say,
follow me the world is going to be worse.' I'm an optimistic person.
I'm an inherently content person. I've got a great sense of where
I want to lead and I'm comfortable with why I'm running. And, you
know, the call on that speech was, beware. This is going to be a tough
campaign." "I don't want nations feeling like that they
can bully ourselves and our allies. I want to have a ballistic defense
system so that we can make the world more peaceful, and at the same
time I want to reduce our own nuclear capacities to the level commiserate
with keeping the peace." "I come to the conference believing that
every leader is sincere about his desire to clean the world and so
are we." "I think step one to make sure prescription drugs
is more affordable for seniors, and those are the folks who really
rely upon prescription drugs a lot these days." |
