“Look, I don't think President Obama would have bowed to the ruler of Saudi Arabia if he didn't have oil to the degree that the Saudis do. I think they and other producing states, almost all of whom, except Norway and Canada, are dictatorships or autocratic systems, have thrown their weight around because of oil.” IfsThinkingLooksStatesPresidentDegreesWeightOilCanadaThrownPresident ObamaRulersDictatorshipArabiaSaudi ArabiaSaudisNorway Author:R.

“Our loyalty is due entirely to the United States. It is due to the President only and exactly to the degree in which he efficiently serves the United States. It is our duty to support him when he serves the United States well. It is our duty to oppose him when he serves it badly. This is true about Mr. Wilson now and it has been true about all our Presidents in the past. It is our duty at all times to tell the truth about the President and about every one else, save in the cases where to tell the truth at the moment would benefit the public enemy.” WellsHas BeensStatesMomentsPastPresidentUnitedEnemyCasesUnited StatesSupportDutyDegreesBenefitsDuesLoyaltyAll TimeTelling The TruthWilsonPublic Enemies Book:Theodore Roosevelt Cyclopedia Source: Theodore Roosevelt Cyclopedia

“Whether it comes from a despotic sovereign or an elected president, from a murderous general or a beloved leader, I see power as an inhuman and hateful phenomen.

“Wanting to be on television is a mental illness. Wanting to be president of the United States, wanting to be an actor - these are degrees of the same mental illness.
