Wednesday Quotables

Presenting the latest rubbish from politicos and Leftmedia talking heads.

Upright

Political analyst Charles Krauthammer: “If you are obsessed with equality, as they are in Europe, what you end up with is chronic unemployment. Because the real engine of growth is low regulation, low taxation and you allow the golden goose, meaning the private economy, to go ahead and to flourish. And when you over-regulate and you over-tax it, especially if you are doing it in the name of reducing inequality, you are going to get the opposite effect.”

Non Compos Mentis

Barack Obama: “I think that we probably underestimated the complexities of building out a website that needed to work the way it should. There is a larger problem that I probably – speaking personally, but also as the administration – could have identified earlier, and that is the way the federal government does procurement and does IT is just generally not very efficient.”

The BIG Lie

Barack Obama reciting the Gettysburg Address: “[T]hat we here highly resolve these dead shall not have died in vain; that the nation, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”

Obama conveniently left out “under God” as spoken by Abraham Lincoln. The official transcript reads, “that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom.”

Demo-gogues

Sen. Dianne Feinstein: “I strongly oppose any attempt to increase sanctions against Iran while [international] negotiations are ongoing. I am baffled by the insistence of some senators to undermine … talks. I will continue to support these negotiations and oppose any new sanctions as long as we are making progress toward a genuine solution.”

Dezinformatsia

Radio talk-show host Mike Papantonio: “3,000 Americans were murdered [on 9/11], because the Republican administration didn’t have the discipline or the good sense to read a presidential briefing.”

Braying Jackass

NBA analyst Charles Barkley: “I’m a black man. I use the ‘N’ word. I’m going to continue to use the ‘N’ word with my black friends, with my white friends. They are my friends. … Listen, what I do with my black friends is not up to white America to dictate to me what’s appropriate and inappropriate.”

Alpha Jackass

Politico’s Ian Murphy: “Reagan f–ks Satan in hell.”

Village Idiots

Texas A&M law professor Mary Margaret Penrose: “I think the Second Amendment is misunderstood and I think it’s time today, in our drastic measures, to repeal and replace that Second Amendment. … Why do we keep such an allegiance to a constitution that was driven by 18th Century concerns? How many of you recognize that the main concern of the 18th Century was a standing army? That’s what motivated the Second Amendment: fear of a standing army.”

Short Cuts

Comedian Jay Leno: “The Dow Jones average hit 16,000 for the first time. How about that? The bad news? It took us going $17 trillion in debt to get there.”
