Quotes - This Day in Dubya History (March 21) (What did Dubya say on today's date in previous years?)
There are 13 quotes on this date.
You know, we used to think we were secure because of oceans and previous diplomacy, but we realized on September the 11th, 2001, that killers could destroy innocent life.
First, that's not much of a realization, as realizations go, and second, how does that tie in with the oceans and the diplomacy? White House, Mar. 21, 2006 What we're doing is difficult work. And one — the interesting thing that's happening is, is that imagine an enemy that says we will kill innocent people because we're trying to encourage people to be free.
Dubya has a "we" (sorry, couldn't resist...) bit of a pronoun reference mismatch here, White House, Mar. 21, 2006 The math has changed. The math has changed this way. Baby boomers like me are getting ready to retire, and there's a lot of us. I turn 62 in 2008 — it's a convenient date for me to retire.
Dubya's math seems to indicate he will retire before the end of his term in 2009, Tucson, Arizona, Mar. 21, 2005 You see, in 1950, there was 16 to 1 workers — 16 workers for every beneficiary paying into the system.
And in 1950, they didn't match singulars and plurals, either. Tucson, Arizona, Mar. 21, 2005 MR. MOORE: Today I'm very grateful that I have that safety net. But I'm also fully aware, sir, that this is not about me, it's about the 30-year-olds today, and the children and the grandchildren today — of which I'm happy to say that two, wherever they are, Heather and Alicia —
DUBYA: Don't hide now. There they are. Lousy seats. Wait a minute. You thought they would get a better seat, with their grandfather up here starring, the way he is. Sorry about that. Talk to the advance man, you know. Blame it on the Chamber. This is a generational issue. Jack, do you have any concern that you're not going to get your check? MR. MOORE: Oh, not a bit. This is not about me. DUBYA: I appreciate him understanding that. Some are concerned you're not going to get your check. I know that. Some seniors hear the debate, and all they think is, well, that just means old George W. is going to make sure I don't get my check. That's just not the way it's going to work, folks. And Jack understands that. Once you understand that, if you got your check here in Arizona, then do you know what the next question is going to be? Just like Jack — what are you going to do for my grandkids? You've got a problem, members of Congress, Mr. President. Go fix it now so that we don't saddle my grandkids with an unnecessary burden. Dubya doesn't let this gentleman's obvious concern about his grandchildren get in the way of the day's message that senior citizens shouldn't worry about their Social Security checks not coming in, Tucson, Arizona, Mar. 21, 2005 Colin Powell has cobbled together one of the great coalitions ever, a coalition determined to fight terror wherever we find it.
Making it sound like Colin Powell did a slipshod, haphazard job in finding a coalition, but I'm guessing it was meant to be a
compliment, El Paso, Texas, Mar. 21, 2002 And we will not relent to any terrorist who think they can take our freedom or the freedom from anybody else in the world away from us.
Unintentionally making it seem like the freedom of every person in the world is something to be taken from the U.S., El Paso, Texas, Mar. 21, 2002 Mexico is an incredibly important part of the futuro de los Estados Unidos.
Spanish and English as only Dubya can speak them, El Paso, Texas, Mar. 21, 2002 And this morning, Laura and I met Milton Green and his son, who lost a wife and a mother when they were going to church, when they were praying to the Almighty God, and a suicide killer came in in Pakistan and took their lives.
Once again failing to keep his religious sentiments and role as President and policymaker in check, El Paso, Texas, Mar. 21, 2002 We don't take a bunch of polls and focus groups to tell us what — to how to, to how to — to what we ought to do in the world.
White House, Mar. 21, 2002 We're in for a long struggle, and I think Texans understand that. And so do Americans.
Texans and Americans are apparently completely separate entities, El Paso, Texas, Mar. 21, 2002 Today we had a terrible suicide bombing in Israel, and innocent lives were lost. And there was one in Peru yesterday, where people lost their life. And this morning, Laura and I met Milton Green and his son, who lost a wife and a mother when they were going to church, when they were praying to the Almighty God, and a suicide killer came in in Pakistan and took their lives.
I wonder if Dubya realizes the wife and mother to Mr. Green and his son are the same person? It doesn't seem like it. El Paso, Texas, Mar. 21, 2002 Diseases... such as arthritis and osteoporosis can be less be-a, be-a-dilatating.
