This book contains many direct quotes & cliches attributed to - Lyndon Baines Johnson - the 36th President of the United States!
"These quotations have been taken from the speeches, musings and digressions of Lyndon Baines Johnson. Their date and source are noted for reference. No effort has been made to rework these heroic thoughts into grammatical English. Let workers, peasants, students, housewives and Republicans study, memorize and digest the exhortations of Chairman Johnson. Let little children add their tiny voices to public and private recitations of these joyous inspirations."
Below are several satirical quotes, taken from within:
*... Being president is like being a jackass in a hailstorm. There's nothing to do but to stand there and take it.
*... When the burdens of the presidency seem unusually heavy, I always remind myself it could be worse. I could be a mayor.
*... Jerry Ford is so dumb he can't fart and chew gum at the same time.
*... One lesson you better learn if you want to be in politics is that you never go out on a golf course and beat the President.
*... I seldom think of politics more than eighteen hours a day.
*... While you're saving your face, you're losing your ass.
*... If one morning I walked on top of the water across the Potomac River, the headline that afternoon would read: 'President Can't Swim.'
