In my travels across the great land, a comment that I hear often from our fellow citizens is, "Mr. President, I pray for you and your family." It's amazing how many times a total stranger walks up and says that to me. You'd think they'd say, "How about the bridge?" Or, "How about filling the potholes?" No, they say, "I've come to tell you I pray for you, Mr. President."
Dubya can't resist from a pothole reference in his touching account of how everyone prays for him, White House, May 4, 2006

After all, the people of Latvia, of all people, ought to understand what it means to live under the subjugation of a doctrine that doesn't allow for freedom... And when 8.5 million people went to vote in Iraq, that sent a clear message that said we will not let the terrorists intimidate us. We want to be free just like people in the Balkans used to speak, we want to be free. You know, our country had a great history with the Baltics

Yes, very touching commentary, too, Dubya... Washington, D.C., May 4, 2005

I saw a threat in Afghanistan. I looked at the intelligence and saw a threat. The Congress looked at the intelligence. Members of both political parties looked at that same intelligence and saw and threat. The United Nations Security Council looked at the intelligence and it saw a threat. The United Nations Security Council, like me, remembered we saw more than a threat, we remembered that Saddam Hussein had used weapons of mass destruction against his own people and against his neighborhood, that Saddam Hussein professed hatred for America, that he had terrorist ties, that he paid suiciders to kill innocent citizens in the Middle East. We remembered all that.

You can't tax the rich enough to pay for his promises. Guess who he's going to tax? He's going to tax me and you.
This is perhaps one of the funniest things I've ever heard Dubya say. Dubya isn't rich... he's middle class just like you and me. Lebanon, Ohio, May 4, 2004
