Dan Quayle: Obama's "Biggest Challenge" Is "Taming The Left Wing"  

STATELINE, Nev. -- Former Vice President Dan Quayle gives President Barack Obama high marks for surrounding himself with quality advisers on national security and the economy. But Quayle says it's not yet clear whether Obama's Democratic administration will govern more liberally than he campaigned.

"I think his biggest challenge is to tame the left wing of his party," Quayle said in an interview with The Associated Press at Lake Tahoe.

"I guess we'll find out how 'left' Obama really is, because he's going to have to make some very tough decisions where he is either going to have to go with the left wing of his party or stare them down and govern more like (ex-president Bill) Clinton governed, which is sort of center-left," said the Republican who served in the first Bush administration.

Quayle, who is playing golf at Lake Tahoe through the weekend at the American Century Celebrity Golf Championship, said...

Here's more advice Dan Quayle oughta give the president: Don't take advice from goddamn Dan Quayle.

2. Did he tell him how to spell "potatoe"?

[Ikonoklast]

3. Bill Clinton was 'center-left'?

I thought he played first base.

If you know what I mean.

5. Dan Quayle on one side DU on the other- I hope Obama knows better than both

[Vickers]

6. Who would EVER take advice from a intellectual midget like Danforth?

[Skidmore]

7. Don't you just love it when Quayle puts in his 2 cents and then

you start seeing R pundits and other hangerson queuing up a Greek chorus to let us all know that he was maligned and really is a great mind and an even greater statesman?

8. Obama needs to call him into the Oval Office and tell him to go stand in the corner.

We'll never hear from him again.

9. Spelling or childcare for fictional characters?

10. Well, Quayle is a *lot* smarter than Sarah.

At least when he resigned from the Senate (after serving a full term and part of a second), it was because he had actually been elected Vice-President.

Gee, if Quayle were just now emerging he could be the "fresh face" the republicans are searching for!

11. Damn R's are scraping the bottom of the potatoe barrel!

:rofl:

This is great news! Dan fucking Quayle speaks, and people listened.
