Top Ten Famous ... Famous last words!
Recently, a liberal friend (memeber of BHO's liberal think tank "The Ostrich Group") asked with complete sincerity and naivety, “Let me ask you this basic question – let’s assume Barack Obama is all that everyone says he is … a terrorist, racist, Marxist, liberal, redistributionist, etc. Can you please explain to me what damage he can actually do as the next President of the United States? It certainly can’t get any worse than the last eight years!”
The above comments, along with those below, could become some of the most famous last words ever spoken.
Consider what happened shortly after each statement … and feel free to respond with your own additions.
(10) "It's just bloody tea mates; they're only blowing off a little steam."
- Brits after the Boston Tea Party
(9) "Indians, what Indians? … They are no match for us."
- Custer at Little Big Horn
(8) "This ship is too big to sink."
- Captain of the Titanic
(7) "Hitler will bring about great change."
- German citizens prior to WW II
(6) "Let's go for a ride, Teddy!"
- Mary Jo to Ted Kennedy
(5) "How much damage can a peanut farmer from Georgia do?"
- American people in 1976
(4) “I did not have sex with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky!" These “famous last words” were spoken just days before Monica’s last words to Bill, “Don't worry, Bill, I'll have the blue dress taken to the cleaners."
- Bill Clinton to the American people
(3) "American Zionist - prepare for the Mother of all battles."
-Saddam Hussein before the 1991 Gulf War and again in 2003 before he was found living in a spider hole.
(2) "What happens in Las Vegas - stays in Las Vegas."
- O. J. Simpson before the robbery (O.J. is now "staying" in Vegas for a long time)
And now for perhaps the most dangerous new "most famous, famous last words” of all ...
(1) "It certainly can't get any worse."
- Spoken by liberals, Bush haters and mainstream media members everywhere, just prior to the 2008 election
In 2006 unemployment was at 4.5%, stock market was above 14,000, 50 million Iraqi’s and Afghani’s now have freedom, over seven million new jobs created and over 24 quarters of strong GDP and then Nancy and Harry took over both houses of Congress. Liberals now wonder “if things can get worse” with Barack Obama in the White House. We're about to have taxation without representation, arrows through our wallets, sunk by our enemies, taken on a train ride to socialism, drowned in taxes, Jimmy Carter's second term, screwed by Pelosi and Reid, the mother of all government spending programs, robbed by BHO and his ACORN affiliates and liberals think "it can't get any worse!" If the American people ignore the dangerous world we face, the role Democrats played in the recent government meltdown and BHO’s lifetime of racist, terrorist and ACORN affiliations then remember these last words, “Things are going to get much worse!”
