I'm confident I have. I just haven't — you just put me under the spot here, and maybe I'm not as quick on my feet as I should be in coming up with one." —President George W.

It's so funny when you read them like that! 
Of course, my opinions on the guy himself belong in IMO 
I don't understand why people want someone so stupid to be president. I just don't get it!!! 
Those were entertaining when I heard them, and they're just as funny in print....You're right, Marge, they do make us "commoners" think that in some ways, he's one of us...yeah, right..
