8. Reminds me of Eisenhower's great vote of confidence for Richard Nixon

Sun Nov 23, 2014, 07:15 PM

Nov 2014

When asked what major projects Nixon had assisted with during the Eisenhower Presidency, Ike famously said, "If you give me a week, I may think of something."

Payback can be a bitch:

"I think that I have a lifetime of experience that I will bring to the White House. I know Senator McCain has a lifetime of experience that he'd bring to the White House. And Senator Obama has a speech he gave in 2002." -- Hillary Clinton, 2008
