Hall of Shame
Changing Washington “at Warp Speed” “The scene I will always remember was the look on Barack Obama’s face when he came out on the Capitol steps and looked out on that great crowd that stretched over a mile before him....With the severity of the problems he faced, no human, no matter how confident, it seems to me, could look out on that crowd and not wonder: ‘Can I live up to the expectations of all those people?’ Yet, in the three days since then, he has laid out an ambitious program, promises of more transparency in government, new walls between the government and special interests by executive order. He will close Guantanamo prison and outlaw torture. He has told the world that we will practice what we preach.” — CBS’s Bob Schieffer on President Obama’s first three days in office, January 23 Evening News. http://www.mrc.org/notablequotables/2009/nq20090209.asp |
