Pierre Andre Rinfret Quotes

For the first time a woman was running for the presidency and she had a large following. However, there were still many who saw women as too emotional to be in leadership positions. Sarkozy did not want to anger many egalitarian French voters by appearing to be a sexist and attack a woman’s generic ability to lead. However, he cleverly waited for a moment in the debate where his opponent was particularly passionate about something. He gently chided her about it and she took the bait and very passionately and excitedly said that she had a right and obligation to be passionate about issues that affected millions of French lives. But as she did so she grew ever more passionate and forceful. Then Sarkozy struck with this quotation. The impression that the audience was left with is that Royal was a good woman who was properly concerned with issues but was just not ready for such a high position and did not quite have the demeanor that was needed for the Presidency. Sorkozy won the election the following week.

Ryan told the national audience that President Obama had come to a factory in his district that as rumored to be closed. Obama had told the workers that the Federal government could assist and keep the factory open for many years. Then as Ryan explained, the factory closed the following year. He gave this as an example of Obama not keeping his word. However what Ryan did not say was that Obama had made the speech at the factory when he was a candidate for the Presidency, and then the factory was closed while George W. Bush was President and by the time he took office, the closure was done and the factory machines gone. And when Obama took office, our national economy was within days of complete bank and finance collapse. Obama saved most of the banks and then the American automobile industry. To suggest that Obama could have or should have done something for the factory that closed was shockingly misleading. It would have been a minor issue if some party hack had lied and made the same accusation. But this was the Vice Presidential Candidate whose acceptance speech was assumedly vetted by the Presidential Candidate’s staff. That is why the quotation was so memorable.

Roosevelt was such a breath of fresh air as a politician that cynical political journalists saw him as almost a savior of American politics at the time. His dynamic personality, independence from outside influence, and his enthusiasm for reforming the out of control corporate dominated society without destroying the corporations like Bryan and the populists, attracted many who had never before supported any politician.

Northam, then the Virginia Lieutenant Governor, was campaigning to be the Virginia Governor. President Donald Tump had been in office less than 4 months, but his approval rating was the lowest in the early stages of a Presidential term of any President since such a measue had been made. Most of the hostility toward Trump was based on his personal characteristics, his prevaricationsm, and inconsistency. However, no politican in modern history had run for a high State position by attacking a President with such strong terms. However, many psychologists and psychiatrists also agreed with Northam who was a Physician as well as a politician.
