Which quote will GW Bush be remembered by?

Edited on Mon Jul-23-07 10:43 AM by Marr

History has a way of summarizing people with a quote that encapsulates the popular perception of that individual. Julius Caesar has his, "veni, vidi, vici", Lincoln his "A house divided against itself cannot stand", etc.

What statement to do suppose Bush will be remembered for?

For myself, it's:

"You can fool some of the people all of the time, and those are the ones you want to concentrate on."

I remember when he said that, how crass and insulting it seemed-- even as a joke. But it certainly seems to encapsulate his political style.
