Probably the most stupid US President so far...I guess every child´s dream of becoming president is no longer impossible, as this dude made it, although I have to add that he had plenty of relations in this filthy bussiness..

On Economy

• "[B]y the way, we rank 10th amongst the industrialized world in broadband technology and its availability. That's not good enough for America. Tenth is 10 spots too low as far as I'm concerned." -—Minneapolis, Minnesota, April 26, 2004

• "The march to war affected the people's confidence. It's hard to make investment. See, if you're a small business owner or a large business owner and you're thinking about investing, you've got to be optimistic when you invest. Except when you're marching to war, it's not a very optimistic thought, is it? In other words, it's the opposite of optimistic when you're thinking you're going to war." -—Springfield, Missouri, Feb. 9, 2004

• "You're working hard to put food on your family."

On Human Rights

• "More Muslims have died at the hands of killers than—I say more Muslims—a lot of Muslims have died—I don't know the exact count—at Istanbul.
