Hm...no quotes from "The Messiah" or his sidekick? Methinks the editor of these quotations is a liberal who voted for "The One" and his backup. This needs to be rectified, and I will start (with thanks to Pat Gray hosting for Glen Beck on 12/29):

Obama: "I've now been in...57?...states. I think one left to go."

Obama: "I've got two daughters - nine years old and six years old. I'm gonna teach them, first of all, about values and morals. But if they make a mistake, I don't want them punished with a baby!"

Biden: "“When we kicked — along with France, we kicked Hezbollah out of Lebanon, I said and Barack said, 'Move NATO forces in there. Fill the vacuum, because if you don’t know — if you don’t, Hezbollah will control it.'"

That was a good one. Makes me wonder why “The Messiah” carried Pennsylvania.

Who can forget this one :

"When the stock market crashed, Franklin Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the princes of greed. He said, 'look, here's what happened.'" -- Sen. Joe Biden,

The media did a great job covering for Biden’s idiocy, did they not?

“Stand up, Chuck” is truly a memorable quote.

But it only makes the list if Palin said it.

Biden: “It happens to be, as Barack says, a three-letter word: Jobs. J-O-B-S.” [Laughter in the background.’

“The point I was making was not that Grandmother harbors any racial animosity. She doesn’t. But she is a typical white person, who, if she sees somebody on the street that she doesn’t know, you know, there’s a reaction that’s been bred in our experiences that don’t go away and that sometimes come out in the wrong way, and that’s just the nature of race in our society.” BO

“It’s not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.” BO

“For the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country.” MO

Because Philadelphia is a welfare state, and many of those now moving in are from liberal NJ/NY.

Wish they would stay there.

A man I'm proud to call my friend. A man who will be the next President of the United States — Barack America!" --Joe Biden, at his first campaign rally with Barack Obama

And of course:

"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man." --Joe Biden on Barack Obama

Two from Palin (one of them falsely attributed to her) and none from 0bama? Mr. “fiddy-seven state” 0bama?

With a quote like that one and they chose Fey and her crack about seeing Russia from her backyard...yeah, liberal bias.

That is definitely quote of the year by the man who defines why some candidates shouldn't go off the printed material.
