"It's very interesting when you think about it, the slaves who left here to go to America, because of their steadfast and their religion and their belief in freedom, helped change America." ---Dakar, Senegal; 8 July 2003
What exactly is a "steadfast"? Does anybody know? Also, wasn't the religion of the African slaves mostly voodoo (or something similar) until they got to America? Finally, let me just ask a hypothetical question: If you were a slave, taken far away from your home to work in the fields and homes of people you did not particularly like, would you believe in freedom? or would you just prefer to live a life of quiet desparation? I'm not sure...
"It is not Reaganesque to support a tax plan that is Clinton in nature." ---23 February 2000
Does GW really believe that anyone could possibly mistake him for either Reagan or Clinton? I realize that he does resemble Reagan in some ways...cowboy hat, boots, the 'duh' look on his face most of the time....but he obviously has neither the intelligence nor mass appeal of Clinton. Smell the coffee, George!
"Well, it's an unimaginable honor to be the president during the Fourth of July of this country. It means what these words say, for starters. The great inalienable rights of our country. We're blessed with such values in America. And I--it's--I'm a proud man to be the nation based upon such wonderful values." ---At the Jefferson Memorial, Washington D.C.; 2 July 2001
I'm just glad to know that GWBush is a nation unto himself...Saves face for the rest of us, if you ask me.
"There is book smart and the kind of smart that helps do calculus. But smart is also instinct and judgment and common sense. Smart comes in all kinds of different ways." ---19 September 2000
But apparently "smart" is not a pre-requisite for being president...however, it may be necessary for being a GOOD president! Also, just a quick comment as someone who 'does calculus'--I've found that a great deal of my math 'smart' comes from books. I'm confused about the difference mentioned in the first sentence above....

Apparently, little do you know, a vasy majority of Africans actually sold their own people to the 'white man'. People hardly seem to take that one into consideration, instead placing all blame on Americans.
