The successful leader does not talk down to people. He lifts them up.

The bastards have never been bombed like they're going to be bombed this time.

But also out here in this dreary, difficult war, I think history will record that this may have been one of Americas finest hours, because we took a difficult task and we succeeded.

Clean air, clean water, open spaces - these should once again be the birthright of every American.

As far as I am concerned now, I have no enemies in the press whatsoever.

To the ordinary guy, all this is a bunch of gobbledygook. But out of the gobbledygook comes a very clear thing: you can't trust the government, you can't believe what they say, and you can't rely on their judgment.
