The Quote of the Decade: Who made it?

[iddee]

The Quote of the Decade:
"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America 's debt limit is
a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government cannot
pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial
assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless
fiscal policies. Increasing America 's debt weakens us domestically and
internationally. Leadership means that "...the buck stops here." Instead,
Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of
our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of
leadership. Americans deserve better.

Thats a heck of a quote there Iddee.  It's to bad that it's too long for a bumper sticker. 

Before you pointed this one out, I thought it was
       "We have to sign the bill to find out whats in it"  -  Nancy Pelosi

Where people shamelessly say things like that, in....

Oh Crap!

You fell for it.

Now blue bee will be telling us about republicans who raised taxes, side steeping what we have now, and rationalizing this as best he can.

You didn't see the line being cast?

Come on guys, you actually think he did not know who said that qoute?

Go ahead blue bee....they gave you the opening you were looking for. Reel in the line. 

Here....I'll start it for you: "Well, with the history of republicans, I was mystified who it could of been since the qoute could be applied to all those I mentioned......"
