George W. Bush and Franklin D. Roosevelt: Dueling Quotes
Compare this:

"I'll probably say it three more times. See, in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda. "
- George W. Bush, May 24, 2005


with this:

"Repetition does not transform a lie into a truth."
- Franklin D. Roosevelt, October 26, 1939

1. It always depresses me to walk through the FDR Memorial.
I read all of his quotes and wonder how we came to this.

FDR was a real leader. Also contrast Bush's constant fearmongering with FDR's courage.

20. "Did I say that out loud?"
That sounds like he accidentally uttered Rove's mantra.

Catapult the propaganda :eyes:
