In the comments to a post quoting Obama as saying
“Let’s roll up our sleeves, work together, and try to get something done.”
ConnecticutCompromise [High Praise!] reminded us of other stirring presidential remarks:
—————–
“The buck could stop here.”
“December 7th, 1944. A date which might just go down in infamy.”
“We hold these truths to be possible.”
“A house divided should sit down and talk out their differences.”
“Mr. Gorbachev, would you please try to tear down that wall.”
*Note: and Walrus and No_Mo_Bama had multiple riffs on it too, at the original post.
…
Obama motto: “Simper. Fie!”
…
Obama vision: “Under my administration, America will be like a suttee on a hill.”
…
Obama foreign policy: “Let us ever negotiate out of fear, but let us never fear to negotiate.”
Obama’s creed: the pledge of Allah legions
…
Obama’s paean to the media: “Oh! Beautiful! Fore, Specious Guys!”
…
Obama’s other song: This Land Is “Yore” Land; This Land Is MY Land!
“Taxation without representation is Tehran-y. I like it.”
“Maybe I did or didn’t cut down that cherry tree, we’ll never know.”
“I have not yet considered to fight!”
“So first of all let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear… is global warming.”
Of the people, for the people, by the people … who are these “peoples”?
John Marshall has made his decision, now what?
A house divided against itself can accommodate two families.

Four scores and seven beer summits ago, MY Father brought forth a new notion on the African continent, I mean Hawaii, conceived in liberation from Whitey…
“… And, ah, I want to be clear,
since the days around December 7th,
when we in the White House first became aware of this situation,
a bi-partisan resolution has been undertaken
that
as we’ve repeatedly said,
a state of —
and I want to emphasize, this is not a war against the Japanese people,
who I have great respect for —
war
waged by an international coalition whose participation we welcome
has existed
unilaterally
between the Empire of Japan
and, uh,
the United States
— which we will end on January 30th . . . “
“… Those who attacked our ships at Pearl Harbor do not represent Japan.”
Give me liberty or give me a tee time.
I regret that I have but one TV to learn about Hilary’s email story.

-“Ask not what your country can do for you, INSIST that it do everything for you.”
-“A house divided against itself means I must use Executive Powers”
-“We have met the enemy, and he is us” O.K…it’s Walt Kelley’s Pogo–But it sure sounds like Obama!
“Ask not what your country can do for you, visualize what you might want to do for your country if it wasn’t too difficult.”
“Ask not what your country can do for you. Claiming ownership of the country is exclusive language which discriminates against immigrants!”
“Read my teleprompter, dozens of new taxes!”
“A house divided inevitably uses more energy, and should be avoided.”
you mean 1941, yes?
