If only my predecessor had kept his promise to make the "world safe for democracy" by eliminating Hitler in 1922! But noooo, he had go and bring the troops home before the mission was complete, and now we're all up shites creek and you can thank Mr. Woodrow Wilson for that! ~ FDR

Why limit this to inaugurations? Here's FDR in his Pearl Harbor speech ....

..Perhaps if Franklin Pierce hadn't upset Japan's delicate harmony by sending Commodore Perry and his flotilla of warships to "open" Japan, we wouldn't be in the situation we're in today

President Taft issues a moratorium on ALL ships sailing to and from America and all ship manufacturing cease after the Titanic disaster.

In a statement by President Taft he blames the previous administration for "no routing regulation" and also stated, "Global cooling is also partially to blame".

Are you as sick as I am of this war? Maybe if Meade had PURSUED Lee to the Potomac after the Battle of Gettysburg this war would be over. You know what I'm saying, "Just end the damn war."

Well Todd, I realize your friends are being crowded out and there's more fishing crews in Alaska than there were residents 2 yrs. ago. But what did you think was going to happen to the Gulf fishing industry when the last administration kept the cleanup effort on hold for two months after the oil spill. Think of it this way. If he hadn't tried to collapse the entire country into socialism in his first term, the American people might still be too complacent to send me up here to clean up Washington like I did Alaska!

Other Obamanisms in FDR's Pearl Pearl address (from anonymous Lennie)

.. Nine days ago, December 7, 1941 a date which will live in my recollection as a very stressful one indeed, a man caused disaster occurred at our Army base on the island of Guam

There are those who maintain that our only conceivable response is an all out genocidal attack on the Japanese home islands. Meanwhile others say that the damage to our fleet is so severe our only course of action is to unconditionally surrender. I reject both positions

At my direction, the FBI is conducting a full investigation. We don't know all the answers yet and I would caution against jumping to the conclusion that Japan is at fault

I ask the Congress declare that despite the events of Dec 7 1941 that, as a sign of my good faith, a state of military standown be enacted so that I may enter into bilateral talks without preconditions with the Emperor of Japan

Post Obamanist Winston Churchill after Fall of france

Let us therefore wallow in arrogant, self indulgent preening and finger pointing and so undermine ourselves with moral relativism that if the German Reich and its fascist allies were to last a thousand years, enslaved men would still say, "THIS was their most contemptible hour."
