a little wisdom...
"We will bankrupt ourselves in the vain search for absolute security."
"In most communities it is illegal to cry "fire" in a crowded assembly. Should it not be considered serious international misconduct to manufacture a general war scare in an effort to achieve local political aims?"
"I deplore the need or the use of troops anywhere to get American citizens to obey the orders of constituted courts."
"If the United Nations once admits that international disputes can be settled by using force, then we will have destroyed the foundation of the organization and our best hope of establishing a world order."
"In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist."
"Controlled, universal disarmament is the imperative of our time. The demand for it by the hundreds of millions whose chief concern is the long future of themselves and their children will, I hope, become so universal and so insistent that no man, no government anywhere, can withstand it."
"If men can develop weapons that are so terrifying as to make the thought of global war include almost a sentence for suicide, you would think that man's intelligence and his comprehension... would include also his ability to find a peaceful solution."
"I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity."

"We'll let our friends be the peacekeepers and the great country called America will be the pacemakers."
"I think if you know what you believe, it makes it a lot easier to
answer questions. I can't answer your question.""I've been talking to Vicente Fox, the new president of Mexico... I know him... to have gas and oil sent to U.S.... so we'll not depend on foreign oil"
"I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully."
"We don't believe in planners and deciders making the decisions on behalf of Americans."
"I regret that a private comment I made to the vice presidential candidate made it through the public airways."
"...I don't need to be subliminabable.."

"give me liberty or give me a huge bong hit" - i think that was like the 24th president or something. we sure could have learned a lot from him.

from the greatest man of all time:
Neither Bush nor [British Prime Minister] Tony Blair has provided any evidence that such weapons exist [in Iraq]. But what we know is that Israel has weapons of mass destruction. Nobody talks about that. Why should there be one standard for one country, especially because it is black, and another one for another country, Israel, that is white.

"Jamesh's self protrait

Is that all you can come up with?
A classic retort that, on the one hand is witty, on the other lacks intelligence. Namecalling seems a little beneath you Slinky...i woulda thought a well rounded list of the present President's achievements might be a better answer or a nice little arguement as to the disadvantages of using decade old quotes to try and underpin today's problems woulda been more your style.
I'm slightly disappointed.

well a black person is actually black are they, I think its a metaphor...
might have been a bit clever for you
