Bill Clinton:
"I didn't inhale"
"I did not have sexual intecourse with her"
"Don't ask Don't Tell" (I actually liked this policy)

Ronald Regan:
"I don't recall"
"Tear down that wall"

Jimmy Carter:
"Whatever you say"

Gerald Ford:
"Duh... I like football"

Richard Nixon:
"I am not a crook"

I'll stop there because those are the only presidents I remember.

Reagan said some cool stuff, as did Bush and Clinton. I'm sure Truman said some pretty bad stuff himself.

"This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. . . . In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist." (January 17, 1961)

Dwight Eisenhower

Well with Truman.. the buck really did. I think was one of the Few BOLD presidents of the time.

With clinton, the buck never got there. Too many slips of memory and dead people for the buck to ever get to him....

Yeah Truman was a democrat and a sad pathetic little ogre to boot.
