Great Quotes From Democrats
Robert A. Hall
Bill Clinton, SOTU,
January 24, 1995: “All Americans … are rightly disturbed by the
large number of illegal aliens entering our country. … The public
service they use impose burdens on our taxpayers. That's why our
administration has moved aggressively to secure our borders more by
hiring a record number of new border guards, by deporting twice as
many criminal aliens as ever before, by cracking down on illegal
hiring, by barring welfare benefits to illegal aliens.”
Bill Clinton,
October 18, 1994: "This
agreement will help achieve a longstanding and vital American
objective -- an end to the threat of nuclear proliferation on the
Korean Peninsula,"
Bill Clinton,
October 21, 1994: “This is a good deal for the United States. North
Korea will freeze and then dismantle its nuclear program.”
Bill Clinton, January 26, 1998: "I
did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinski."
Barack Obama, 4/3/2006: The American
people are a welcoming and generous people. But those who enter our
country illegally, and those who employ them, disrespect the rule of
law. And because we live in an age where terrorists are challenging
our borders, we simply cannot allow people to pour into the United
States undetected, undocumented, and unchecked. Americans are right
to demand better border security and better enforcement of the
immigration laws.
Sen. Chuck Schumer, 2009: Illegal
Immigration is wrong, plain and simple… People who enter the United
States without our permission are illegal aliens and illegal aliens
should not be treated the same the same as people who entered the
country illegally.
Sen.
Bernie Sanders, 2015:
Said, Open
borders" was a "Koch brothers proposal…a right-wing
proposal, which says essentially there is no United States."
Sanders
was elected to Congress in 1990 with full support of the NRA.
Sen.
Bernie Sanders, August
5, 2011, "These days, the American
dream is more apt to be realized in South America, in places such as
Ecuador, Venezuela
and Argentina...
Clip of Obama’s
verbal gaffes.

may have missed them, as the media glossed over his errors. Many are
the kind of mistakes we all make. But if Bush or Palin had made them,
you’d have heard them over and over. Think “refudiate” and
“misunderestimate.”
Obama, March 5,
2007: "There was something stirring across the country because
of what happened in Selma, Alabama, because some folks are
willing to march across a bridge. So they got together and Barack
Obama Jr. was born. So don't tell me I don't have a claim
on Selma,Alabama."
The Selma March
took place in 1965, four years after Barack Obama was born, rather
disproving his statement that his parent got together because of it.
Obama, May 8, 2007:
"In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy
in Kansas. Ten thousand people died — an entire town
destroyed."
12 people died, not
10,000.
Obama, May 17, 2008:
“When Kennedy met with (Soviet leader Nikita) Khrushchev, we were
on the brink of nuclear war."
The problem
with Obama's contention is that it is a lie. John Kennedy
met
Khrushchev in Vienna on June 4,
1961. At the time, many seasoned diplomats worried that the
Soviet leader would be emboldened by his encounter with the young and
less experienced American president. The Cuban Missile Crisis, to
which Obama refers, took place in October, 1962, sixteen months
after the two leaders met.
Obama, June 22,
2007: "The public will have 5 days to look at every bill that
lands on my desk" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5t8GdxFYBU
Frequently broken.
The video clip has several interesting, broken promises about open,
transparent government.
Obama, August 7,
2007: "I would immediately call the president of Mexico, the
president of Canada, to try to amend NAFTA….”
Canada has a
Prime Minister, not a President.
Obama, September,
2007: "If you are nominated for President in 2008 and your
major opponents agree to forgo private funding in the general
election campaign, will you participate in the presidential public
financing system?" Obama highlighted the answer "Yes,"
and elaborated as follows:
McCain accepted
public financing and the spending limits. Obama promised to, did not
and spent far more than McCain, all raised privately. Fact Checker
said: “But none of this alters the fact that he (Obama) has gone
back on his word.” (His reversal probably killed public financing
for good.)
Obama, November 15,
2007: Lobbyists “will not work in my White House.”
Numerous lobbyists
have joined the administration.
Obama, December 20,
2007: "The President does not have power under the Constitution
to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does
not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation. As
Commander-in-Chief, the President does have a duty to protect and
defend the United States. In instances of self-defense, the
President would be within his constitutional authority to act before
advising Congress or seeking its consent."
On March 19, 2011,
President Obama unilaterally ordered military attacks on Libya,
a nation that had not recently attacked or threatened the United
States, without any approval by the US Congress.
Obama, 2008: In his
debates with them, Senator Obama attacked Senator Hillary Clinton and
John Edwards for forcing people to buy health insurance in their
health plans, saying his plan didn’t do so.
March, 2010: The
Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (called ObamaCare),
required people to buy health insurance or be fined.
Obama’s Tax Plan,
2008: “Eliminating Capital Gains Taxes for Entrepreneurs and
Investors in Small Business.”
This and many other
promises in the plan were never attempted.
January 21, 2008:
Obama said here and many times the healthcare reform debate would not
be held behind closed doors.
When pushing for the
Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (called ObamaCare), almost
all meetings were closed to reporters and the public. See this report
on C-Span from January 5, 2010:
Obama, April 11,
2008 Obama: “We should close Guantanamo and restore
Habeas Corpus.” (Ending military tribunals.)
January 22, 2009
“Obama Signs Order to Close Guantanamo in a Year”
Guantanamo remained
ope n through Obama’s eight years.
Obama, May 9, 2008:
"I have now been in 57 states, with one left to go."
There are only 50
states.
Obama, May 13, 2008:
"We only have a certain number of them (translators) and if they
are all in Iraq, then it’s harder for us to use them
in Afghanistan."
They speak different
languages in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Obama, May 18,
2008: "Iran, Cuba, Venezuela? These countries are
tiny compared to the Soviet Union. They don't pose any serious
threat to us,"
http://www.wnd.com/?pageId=64716
http://www.wnd.com/?pageId=64716
Obama, May 19,
2008 : "I’ve made it clear for years that the threat from
Iran is grave.”
Obama, May 26, 2008:
"I had a uncle who was one of the, who was part of the first
American troops to go into Auschwitz and liberate the
concentration camps,"
The Red Army
liberated Auschwitz. Obama said he meant to say a different
concentration camp.
Obama, June 5, 2008:
Obama thinks treatment for asthma is a breathalyzer
The point is, when
George Bush or another Republican made a slip like this, the media
piled on about how dumb they are. So why did they think Obama is
brilliant?
Obama, June 28,
2008. “My father served in World War II”
Obama’s father and
step father were around ten when the war ended. Clearly he meant his
grandfather. This is the kind of slip of the tongue that the press
plays over and over if a Republican did it.
Obama, July 9, 2008:
“Now, I agree that immigrants should learn English. I agree
with that. But understand this. Instead of worrying about whether
immigrants can learn English — they’ll learn English — you need
to make sure your child can speak Spanish. You should be thinking
about, how can your child become bilingual? We should have every
child speaking more than one language.”
Obama, who speaks
only English, was running for President. George Bush, who was
president, speaks English and Spanish.
Obama, September 12,
2008.: "Under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a
year will see any form of tax increase. Not your income tax, not your
payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes,"
The Obama
administration raised taxes on smokers and on tanning salons, both
regressive taxes which hit the poor hardest. In addition, while he
argues that the PP&ACA mandated fine for not buying health
insurance is not a “tax,” his Justice Department has argued in
court that the government has the authority to do this under its
“taxing power.” He also proposed “Cap and Trade” which would
“tax” everyone’s energy use, and the PP&ACA has taxes on
high end healthcare plans, many held by workers making less than
$250,000.
Obama, October 7,
2008: “I am cutting more than I’m spending. So it will be a net
spending cut.”
Obama produced the
highest budgets and highest deficits in history.
Obama, January 6,
2009. Obama: “We are going to ban all earmarks, the process by
which individual members insert pet projects without review."
The first spending
bill he signed contained 9,000 earmarks.
Obama, February 24,
2009: “And I believe the nation that invented the automobile cannot
walk away from it.”
The first
functioning automobile is credited to Karl Benz of Germany in
1885-6.
Obama, March 3,
2009: Obama: “On the other hand, what you’re now seeing is
profit and earning ratios are starting to get to the point where
buying stocks is
a potentially good deal if you’ve got a long-term perspective on
it.”
Business 101: Price
to Earnings Ratios.
Obama, March 19,
2009: My bowling is “"like the Special Olympics or something."
At least one Special
Olympian who has bowled three perfect games offered to take him on.
Obama, April 4,
2009: “I don’t know what the term is in Austrian.”
There is no
“Austrian” language. They speak German. A guy named Hitler was an
Austrian.
Obama, April 14,
2009: President Obama says he is “resolved to halt the rise of
privacy”
Hopefully he meant
“piracy,” though with his big government approach, maybe not.
Obama, May 26, 2009:
"They (Supreme Court Justices) are charged with the vital task
of applying principles put to paper more than twenty centuries ago."
The Constitution the
judges interpret was written just over two centuries ago. Unless he
thinks they are supposed to apply principles from the Bible to their
rulings?
Obama, July 20,
2009: Says His Health Care Plan Will Bring More "Inefficiencies"
to the System
Probably speaking
the truth by accident.
Obama, July 23,
2009: "I'm always worried about using the word 'victory,'
because, you know, it invokes this notion of Emperor Hirohito coming
down and signing a surrender to MacArthur," Obama told ABC News.
As anyone who took a
course in American history knows, Emperor Hirohito did not surrender
to MacArthur. Other representatives of the Japanese military and
government signed the surrender.
Obama, August 12,
2009. Obama: “But if that same diabetic ends up getting their (sic)
foot amputated, that's 30,000, 40,000, 50,000 dollars immediately the
surgeon is reimbursed.”
Medicare pays a
surgeon between $740 and $1,140 for a leg amputation.
Obama, September 9,
2009: “They delayed his treatment, and he died because of it."
Obama was right that
the insurance company canceled the guy’s coverage, but he didn’t
die because of it.
Obama, January 28,
2010: (the Constitutional Law "Professor"): "We find
unity in our incredible diversity, drawing on the promise enshrined
in our Constitution: the notion that we are all created equal...."
It is the
Declaration of Independence, not the Constitution, that says: "We
hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created
equal..."
Obama, February 4,
2010.:Obama Reads Word "Corpsman" as "Corpse Man"
Twice
President Obama was
speaking at the National Prayer Breakfast and was telling about a
Navy Corpsman who assisted the suffering people ofHaiti. But as his
head bobbed back and forth between his two teleprompters, he read the
word "Corpsman" and pronounced it "Corpse Man"
twice. As anyone at all familiar with the military knows, it is
pronounced “Core Man”. Unless I served in the US Marine Corpse.
Obama, April 19, 2011 Obama Claims Air Pollution from Coal ‘Creating Asthma for Kids Nearby’
Excerpt: President
Barack Obama claimed that coal could create "the kinds of air
pollution" that is "creating asthma for kids," in
speaking at a town hall event in Annandale, Va., on
Tuesday. However, the National Institutes of Health says that “the
exact cause of asthma isn’t known” and that “asthma is
different for each person.”
Obama, May 24, 201:
doesn’t know what year it is.
Excerpt: This is how
President Obama signed the guestbook at Westminster Abbey earlier
today, where he got a tour from the Very Reverend Dr. John Hall and
laid a wreath on the Grave of the Unknown Warrior. “It is a great
privilege to commemorate our common heritage, and common sacrifice.
Barack Obama 24 May 2008”
Obama: June 23,
2011: I had the great honor of seeing some of you because a comrade
of yours, Jared Monti, was the first person who I was able to award
the Medal of Honor to who actually came back and wasn’t receiving
it posthumously.”
Jared Monti died in
service in Afghanistan, and did in fact receive the medal
posthumously.
Obama, September 8,
201: “We all remember Abraham Lincoln as the leader who saved
our Union. Founder of the Republican Party."
Lincoln wasn’t
even the GOP’s first Presidential nominee; the first Republican
nominee was John C. Fremont in 1856.
Obama, September 23,
2011: Obama hails America's historic building of 'the
Intercontinental Railroad'
Was that the
railroad to France or to China? Even a dumb Texan
would know we built the Transcontinental Railroad.
Obama, September 24,
2011: Obama: A billionaire should pay the same tax rate as a Jew.
Slip of the tongue.
Again, if Bush did this, you’d never hear the end of it.
Sen. Joe Biden,
2007: "The president has no constitutional authority to take
this nation to war against a country with 70 million people unless
we're attacked or unless there is proof that we're about to be
attacked. If he does, I would move to impeach him"
Lucky for
Obama Libya doesn’t have 70 million people.
Clinton, Bush, Obama: Declare Jerusalem
Capital of Israel
Sen. Joseph
Biden, September 23, 2008: “When the stock market crashed (Note: in
1929), Franklin D. Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just
talk about the, you know, the princes of greed. He said, 'Look,
here's what happened.'”
Roosevelt became
President in 1933. In 1936, there were
about 200 televisions in use worldwide. But very few American homes
had TV until after the war. Franklin Roosevelt was the first
President to speak on TV—in 1939, ten years after the Market
crashed.
Vice President
Joe Biden, October 30, 2012: Tells man in wheelchair to stand up.

Sen. Harry Reid,
1993: "Our
borders have overflowed with illegal immigrants placing tremendous
burdens on our criminal justice system, schools and social programs.
The Immigration and Naturalization Service needs the ability to step
up enforcement. Our federal wallet is stretched to the limit by
illegal aliens getting welfare, food stamps, medical care and other
benefits often without paying any taxes. Safeguards like welfare and
free medical care are in place to boost Americans in need of
short-term assistance. These programs were not meant to entice
freeloaders and scam artists from around the world. Even worse,
Americans have seen heinous crimes committed by individuals who are
here illegally,"
Hillary
Clinton, 2003: I
am, you know, adamantly against illegal
immigration.

Hillary
Clinton, November 9, 2015: "I
voted numerous times when I was a senator to spend money to build a
barrier to try to prevent illegal immigrants from coming in. And I do
think you have to control your borders."
Barack Obama, 2006:
“Better
fences and better security along our borders” and would “help
stem some of the tide of illegal immigration in this country.”
President Barack
Obama to Russian President Medvedev, 2012:
“This
is my last election … After my election I have more flexibility,”
Obama said, expressing confidence that he would win a second term. “I
will transmit this information to Vladimir,” said Medvedev, Putin’s
protégé and long considered number two in Moscow’s power
structure.
Rep. Hank Johnson, April 1, 2010: said he feared that stationing 8,000 Marines on Guam would cause the island to 'become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize.'
Rep.
Sheila Jackson Lee, 1997:asked if
the Pathfinder had succeeded in taking a picture of the flag planted
on Mars by Neil Armstrong in 1969.
Rep.
Sheila Jackson Lee, 2010: “Today,
we have two Vietnams, side by side, North and South, exchanging and
working. We may not agree with all that North Vietnam is doing, but
they are living in peace. I would look for a better human rights
record for North Vietnam, but they are living side by side.
South
Vietnam has not existed for almost 40 years since North Vietnamese
forces took Saigon and reunified the former French colony in 1975.
Rep.
Maxine
Waters, Feburary

Sequester Could Cause 'Over 170 Million Jobs' To Be Lost
About
30M more than the US has.
