Witty Presidential Quotes...

Witty Presidential Quotes...

Ronald Reagan’s most powerful tool was his self-deprecating humor. When his advanced age was used against him by Senator Mondale during the 1984 campaign, intentionally misunderstanding he quipped:

"I will not make age an issue of this campaign.
I am not going to exploit, for political purposes,
my opponent's youth and inexperience."

- Ronald Reagan

When Abraham Lincoln was accused of being two-faced. Lincoln replied:

“If I had two faces, do you think
this is the one I’d be wearing?”

- Abraham Lincoln

President John Kennedy once read a fake telegram from his rich father:

"Jack, Don't spend one dime more than is
necessary. I'll be damned if I am going
to pay for a landslide."

- John F. Kennedy (reading a fake telegram)

This effectively stole the power of the accusation that his campaign was largely financed by his father.
