Who Said That ???? "Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes that you can do these things. Among them are...a few other Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or businessman from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid." Was it.... a) Hillary Clinton b) Jesse Jackson c) Ted Kennedy d) None of the above
The correct answer is d) none of the above. The quote is from a letter President Dwight Eisenhower wrote to his brother on November 8, 1954. According to the website, http://snopes.com/, "In addition to being a war hero, a decent fellow, a moderate Republican before they began to go extinct, President Eisenhower apparently was also quite the prophet. Little George W. Bush was about 9 years old at the time." |
