Common Sense Democracy

Although the president did not originate any new words thisyear, he had several notable statements, Payack said, citingthe following:

– “See, in my line of work you got to keep repeatingthings over and over and over again for the truth to sink in,to kind of catapult the propaganda,” Bush said in explaininghis communications strategy last May.

– “I think I may need a bathroom break. Is this possible?” Bush asked in a note to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice during a U.N. Security Council meeting in September.

– “This notion that the United States is getting ready to attack Iran is simply ridiculous. And having said that, alloptions are on the table,” Bush said in Brussels last February.

– “In terms of timetables, as quickly as possible – whatever that means,” the president said of his timeframe for passing Social Security legislation in March.

– “Those who enter the country illegally violate the law,”Bush said in describing illegal immigrants in Tucson, Arizona,last month.
