Running states and countries is not an easy job...but what's even harder is trying to keep their foot out of their mouth. Entertainingly dumb & funny quotes from U.S. presidents and former presidential candidates:

“Did you ever think that making a speech on economics is a lot like pissing down your leg? It seems hot to you, but it never does to anyone else.” - Lyndon B. Johnson
"You lose." - Calvin Coolidge after a woman told him she made a bet that she could get at least three words of conversation from him.
“If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog.”-Harry Truman (well more in Washington than everywhere else)
“Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names.” - John F. Kennedy (somebody remembered his name...sorry that was wrong, no disrespect)

"We used to hustle over the border for health care we received in Canada. And I think now, isn't that ironic?" --Sarah Palin, admitting that her family used to get treatment in Canada's single-payer health care system, despite having demonized such government-run programs as socialized medicine that will lead to death-panel-like rationing, March 6, 2010 (Tell me again how you feel about illegals in America, Sarah)
