If Eisenhower had just nuked the Viet Minh at Dien Bien Phu as the French requested, I wouldn't have to be dealing with Indochina
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
If my mother would have aborted me, the USA would have a real president right now! – Barack Obama

Abraham Lincoln's Second inaugural Address
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."
Excellent tweak of my original comment about FDR, Mr Ross.

To secret service: " They WHAT!?"
To Kids: " Kids, that gonna be the last book I have time for today. Apparantly that Lewinsky woman convinced ol Billy boy to call back the CIA before the job was done in Afghanistan"
Had Robespierre done something about that efette shoe designer, we wouldn't be in this mess...
Napoleon Bonaparte at Waterloo
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!
Hey, it these homebuilders in Waco wouldn't build these houses like tinder boxes...

Harry "the buck passes thru here" Truman on Korea
Ya know, if Mac Arthur's troops hadn't gotten so fat and lazy during occupation duty, they might not have disgraced themselves in combat and I wouldn't have to deal with this mess

Ahmadinajhad," What do you mean they killed 9 of my pawns? Barack told me he would make sure they caved and let them pass."
There's a reason why my predecessor was named after a vacuum cleaner. He sucked! -FDR
"What do you mean He's risen Judas? You told me He was dead and in the tomb. Summon Caiphas and Pilate to my cell right now!"
Truman:
If that Communist FDR hadn't kicked the bucket before his THIRD term ended, I wouldn't have had Joe McCarthy blowing smoke up Congress's ass looking for Commies under every bed in Hollywood!

Bush 41," Well. It's hard to get any respect no matter how hard you try, when you have to follow an act like Ron."
"Dammit Walter, I tried to create a legacy for us. But that daggum cowboy was a worldwide star. Those dang camel jockeys held our people til He was in , just so they could get his dang autograph on that paper!"

If JFK hadn't used the mob to steal the 1960 election, I'd have been the martyr and who knows, Marilyn might have sung Happy Birthday to me!

Robert E Lee after Pickett's charge
Perhaps if General Pickett had shown a little more faith in my plan, his men wouldn't have been affected with his defeatism and the results would have been different
If the folks hadn't pissed off God, I could be chillin in paradise. Now i got this murder rap hanging over me.

Please try to understand that I just wanted all of us to get along. I mean, I was just trying to do that boy a favor. After all, he told me he want me to eat him! He told me he wanted me to make him feel like he'd died and gone to heaven!

If this blog were say 25% snark free, maybe we could have more excellent threads such as this.
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
If that guy before me had been more concerned with capturing terrorists than captivating interns, Bin Laden wouldn't have been around to guide the 9/11 attacks. GWB

ScratchNSniff says - General Washington - On second thought boys, let's not cross this river today. It's really, really cold out and the boys back in philly didn't send us enough warm clothes.
General Custer speaking
"Men, I've decided to give ourselves up and work for peace. We'll control the narrative and these Indi...um...Native-Americans won't feel so alienated then. After all those guys in Washington have been really mean, laughing at their Redness, again. So, what-a-ya-think?"

Nathan Hale speaking:
"I regret that I only have one life to give for my country, because if I knew where the rest of those guys were, I'd snitch them out for sure because that rat Franklin was checking out my wife in her new corset"
"Give me Liberty, or give me death....wait, on second thought Washington promised me a sweet country villa and hey you Limey bastards I'm willing to deal now. Just tell ole Kingy boy to hook me up with a place, oh say Mount Vernon and I'm all his."

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."
Thomas Paine here, my friend Benjamin Rush said he didn't like the name of my pamplet. So forget it.
