“If Lincoln was alive today, he'd roll over in his grave.”

“That is what has made America last these past 200 centuries.”

“I love sports. Whenever I can, I always watch the Detroit Tigers on the radio.”

“Things are more like they are now than they have ever been.”

“President Carter speaks loudly and carries a fly spotter, a fly swasher -- it's been a long day.”

Bill Clinton

“You know the one thing that's wrong with this country? Everyone gets a chance to have their fair say.”

“African Americans watch the same news at night that ordinary Americans do.”

George Bush Sr.

“I want to make sure everybody who has a job wants a job.”

Calvin Coolidge
