If anyone can correctly answer this question, he/she has got my vote for President.

Question ;

Who originally stated my qoute ?

Was it Harry Truman in 1952?

Edit: Or maybe LBJ?

Bruce Springsteen has ruled out running for the US Senate after a group of political activists put his name forward as a candidate.
Independence for New Jersey campaigners suggested the rock singer, known to millions of fans as The Boss, because they were tired of the usual crop of politicians.

But Springsteen, whose most famous hit is Born to Run, has made it clear he is not interested in entering the political field.

In a statement he quoted the speech of US General William Tecumseh Sherman who refused to seek presidency in 1884.
"If nominated, I will not run. If elected, I will not serve," said Springsteen.

More Quotes by Gen William Sherman:

"Hold the fort! I am coming!"

"I make up my opinions from facts and reasoning, and not to suit any body but myself. If people don't like my opinions, it makes little difference as I don't solicit their opinions or votes."

"If I had my choice I would kill every reporter in the world, but I am sure we would be getting reports from Hell before breakfast."

"It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, more vengeance, more desolation. War is hell."

"My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom."

"The carping and bickering of political factions in the nation's capital reminds me of two pelicans quarreling over a dead fish."

"War is hell."

Correct, he said that in 1968, you have my vote.

Well, I didn't *know* it. I was fairly sure, but not totally, so I shouldn't get your vote.

Well, we all know that you wouldn't be in the runnign if prettiness were the criteria.

haha, you're in for it now!

why? everyone is entitled to their opinion and the thoughts of some faceless person on the web don't bother me.

I used to think that way, too. Until I realized that the, "faceless internet people" have a tendency to represent the opinions of people in real life.

Keep it in mind. *cough*

Oh please,unless somebody writes my paycheck I could care less what they think of me:)

I think conjur should be president. The job of the executive branch is to enforce the law, and he sure as hell enforces repost law! ;)

And other obvious positions:
Secretary of Treasury: RossMAN
Press Secretary or Secretary of Transportation: NSF4

Does it really matter. Whoever gets elected would be impeached and/or recalled in less than 24 hours.

My vote for NFS4
