On his watch we saw the attacks on the twin towers, the invasion of Iraq, the invasion of Afghanistan and an apocalyptic Global Financial Crisis.<br \/>\nBut if you thought \u2018W\u2019 a fool, well all you have to do is read some of the quotes that we have chosen here that highlight the eloquence of the Texan Commander in Chief. Every quote is genuine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs yesterday\u2019s positive report card shows, childrens do learn when standards are high and results are measured.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRarely is the question asked: Is our children learning?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou teach a child to read and he or her will be able to pass a literacy test.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201dYou work three jobs? Uniquely American isn\u2019t it? I mean, that\u2019s fantastic that you\u2019re doing that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSee, in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t care what the polls say. I don\u2019t. I\u2019m just doing what I think what\u2019s wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just want you to know that, when we talk about war, we\u2019re really talking about peace.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn my sentences I go where no man has gone before.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy job is a decision-making job, and as a result, I make a lot of decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They misunderestimated me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think war is a dangerous place\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s an old saying in Tennessee &#8211; I know it\u2019s in Texas, probably in Tennessee &#8211; that says \u2018Fool me once, shame on &#8211; shame on you. Fool me &#8211; well you can\u2019t get fooled again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the human being and fish can co-exist peacefully\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe thing that\u2019s important for me to remember what\u2019s the important thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are cameras nowadays that have been developed to tell the difference between a squirrel and a bomb.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor every fatal shooting, there are about 3 non-fatal shootings.
