If you like speeches....
How about this one from FDR. Balls... big, brass, balls.

Hard not to make comparisons.

".....I welcome their hatred"
- - - - - - -
"For nearly four years you have had an Administration which instead of twirling its thumbs has rolled up its sleeves. We will keep our sleeves rolled up.
We had to struggle with the old enemies of peace—business and financial monopoly, speculation, reckless banking, class antagonism, sectionalism, war profiteering.
They had begun to consider the Government of the United States as a mere appendage to their own affairs. We know now that Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob.
Never before in all our history have these forces been so united against one candidate as they stand today. They are unanimous in their hate for me—and I welcome their hatred.
I should like to have it said of my first Administration that in it the forces of selfishness and of lust for power met their match. I should like to have it said of my second Administration that in it these forces met their master."

1. Unfortunately, when he ad the Bushies dead to rights for treason in 1935, he let them go
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/history/document/document_20070723.shtml

and buried the evidence so that those few who knew wouldn't be believed.

This also allowed the Bush Imperial family to finish the coup that Nazi Grandad Prescott started.

Sadly, when push came to shove, they were Masters over FDR. Which just goes to show you, even the greatest Liberal probably since the Founding Fathers, met HIS Masters on that day.

His Masters, now our indisputably Imperial Masters.

2. I love that statement. It used to be my Facebook quote. Then I
changed to a JFK quote and today I changed it to a President Obama quote.
