John Podhoretz Quotes

Let us now praise Barack Obama Picture Quote #1

The presidency is not an entry-level electoral job Picture Quote #1

The 2004 presidential election that saw George W. Bush win with 51 percent of the vote was the last one Republicans will ever win with the overwhelmingly white and male coalition they have now Picture Quote #1

The United States established itself as a trustworthy new nation in its first two decades after the Revolutionary War by paying its debts, even when many in the country believed it had no obligation to do so. Alexander Hamilton, the founder of this newspaper, insisted on it Picture Quote #1

That distinctive presidential conduct is now gone forever, banished to the snows of yesteryear by Barack Obama. From the beginning of his presidency to the present, he has spoken specifically and in unprecedented fashion of Republicans as his rivals, his stumbling blocks, the primary cause of his troubles Picture Quote #1

Obama is talking to voters as though he is their boss, or their principal, or their father. He is not any of those things. He is their employee. And employers don’t like it when their employees yell at them - even if their employees have it right Picture Quote #1

Many people crave security and stability rather than risk-taking, and that doesn’t make them any less American. They are the workers rather than the job creators, and all societies need both Picture Quote #1

I look at ‘The New York Review of Books.’ It’s what it has been for 35 or 40 years, which is a highly sophisticated vehicle for anti-American self-hatred Picture Quote #1

As a member of the Mormon church, Romney is instructed to tithe 10 percent of his income. That’s in keeping with most charitable giving: Religious institutions get about one-third of all contributions, according to ‘The American’ magazine Picture Quote #1

Over the next decade, cities and states across America will be compelled to tighten their belts as the really big bills - the pension bills they cannot afford - come due. They’ll have to go after existing contracts with current workers Picture Quote #1

The idea that the rest of the world was somehow being held hostage by the Arab-Israeli conflict once had a minimal basis in reality. In the first 20 years of Israel’s existence, every Arab country was in an active state of war with the Jewish state Picture Quote #1

Nixon was an awful president in many ways, including in some of his foreign-policy choices. But he left no doubt that foreign policy and America’s leadership in the world outside its borders was of paramount importance to him Picture Quote #1

Making recess appointments when the Senate isn’t in recess is neither rational nor moderate. It’s a raw misuse of executive power by a president whose love of government is his most vulnerable spot with the electorate Picture Quote #1

There’s no light at the end of the tunnel in the Republican message, no promise of better things to come. There’s only the present stagnation, followed by a slow decline Picture Quote #1

Unquestionably, American political rhetoric can be repugnant, and the Right can certainly be as guilty as the Left Picture Quote #1

The exit polls suggest that after a relatively disappointing first term, Obama managed to reassemble almost all of his 2008 electorate Picture Quote #1

Obama’s victory in November 2008 was a historic political accomplishment Picture Quote #1

Obama’s explanation for the slowdown in economic growth is that the public sector is hurting, and that’s where Washington must step in and act Picture Quote #1

Newt Gingrich never received more than 100,000 votes in his life. He’ll never be president Picture Quote #1

There’s no light at the end of the tunnel in the Republican message, no promise of better things to come. There’s only the present stagnation, followed by a slow decline Picture Quote #1

America is great not because it’s a team. America is great because it is a nation whose founding documents elevated the rights of the individual Picture Quote #1

Obama’s presidency hasn’t been dedicated to achieving economic growth in the short term, or about creating jobs Picture Quote #1

You know, you just know, that after the president goes out there and announces he wants to make community college free for all Americans - as though anything government does is ‘free’ - or is unilaterally and unconstitutionally legalizing millions of undocumented immigrants, he comes back to the offices, pulls out the presidential BlackBerry, and gleefully follows along as the Right goes completely ape over these wild policy decisions Picture Quote #1

The attack on ObamaCare was that Congress does not have the power under the Commerce Clause to force a private citizen into a private contractual relationship. If such a thing is permitted to stand, the anti-ObamaCare forces argue, there will be no limit to Congress’s power in the future Picture Quote #1

Christopher Nolan’s astounding third Batman feature, ‘The Dark Knight Rises,’ represents the true maturation of the superhero movie - and provides the key to understanding the bottomless craving moviegoers have for these films, 34 years after the Christopher Reeve Superman gave birth to the genre Picture Quote #1

Your race and gender don’t change, but you can choose to change your political affiliation at will Picture Quote #1

The problem is that borrowing money to pay back more borrowed money that will oblige you in the future to borrow even more money doesn’t sound kosher. Because it isn’t Picture Quote #1

Back in 1995, Bill Gates himself didn’t understand that the internet was the direction computing was going Picture Quote #1

Memories of the last nine years have turned Ground Zero from a site of horror, to a reminder of grief, to an occasion for ludicrous artistic posturing - and now to something very close to parody Picture Quote #1

One strange quality of writing about political campaigns is that it’s a little like writing about a baseball game inning by inning. We presume we can say something about the final result from the state of play a third of the way through. You can when a game is a colossal blowout, but you can’t when it’s close Picture Quote #1
