THE CRISIS IN A NUTSHELL: 2010, IN THEIR WORDS
Posted by Samantha Henig


“We will not stand for the Obama-Pelosi-Reid hijacking of our freedom and democracy so they can impose their socialist ‘utopia’ of higher taxes, restricted access, inferior quality, and deadly inefficiency on the best health care system in the world.” —Michael Steele, chairman of the Republican National Committee

“There’s no one who wants this over more than I do. I’d like my life back.” —Tony Hayward, the former C.E.O. of BP

“We hope President Obama will now respect the will of the people, change course, and commit to making the changes they are demanding. To the extent he is willing to do this, we are ready to work with him.” —John Boehner, the next Speaker of the House


“Hasn’t [America] used the bomb? Hasn’t it stockpiled them? Who should be concerned about nuclear weapons; should they be concerned or should we?” —Mahmoud Ahmadinejad

“‘Refudiate,’ ‘misunderestimate,’ ‘wee-wee’d up.’ English is a living language. Shakespeare liked to coin new words too. Got to celebrate it!”—Sarah Palin
