Many past presidents have had phrases or statements linked to their presidencies. In FDR's first inauguration speech he tried to calm Americans' worries about the Great Depression when he said, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself."FDR's programs, such as the Works Progress Administration and the Civilian Conservation Corps that were meant to take America out of the Great Depression were called "The New Deal". Harry S. Truman had a sign on his desk which read, "The buck stops here.", which meant that he took responsibility for his actions and wouldn't pass blame to others. In JFK's inauguration speech, he challenged Americans to serve, rather than be served when he said, "And so my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country." "The New Frontier" was a slogan used to inspire America to support him, then it became a label for JFK's domestic and foreign programs. LBJ's welfare programs were called "The War on Poverty" or "The Great Society". When Nixon denied his involvement in the Watergate break-in, he said, "Well, I'm not a crook." Because of Watergate, scandals end with

-gate Gerald Ford once said, "I'm not a Lincoln, I'm a Ford.", meaning he was a president of the common people. The economy was in recession under Jimmy Carter and was said to be in a "malaise". "The misery index" was at an all-time high of 21.98% in 1980 when Carter ran for re-election against Ronald Reagan. In one of his debates with Carter, Reagan asked the American people, "Are you better off now than you were four years ago?" Reagan would go on to ask the same question in his re-election campaign in 1984. Reagan once said that we had "a rendezvous with destiny" and that America was "the shining city on a hill", both referring to the greatness of America. He once called the Soviet Union, "the evil empire" and used the phrase, "Trust, but verify" in describing how he dealt with the Soviets. Reagan's ability to connect with the American people earned him the moniker, "The Great Communicator". When the economy showed signs of recovery, Reagan borrowed the title of one of Bachman-Turner Overdrive's song, "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet". Many Democrats voted for Reagan, so they were called, "Reagan Democrats". Reagan spoke at the Berlin Wall in 1987 and said, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!". George H.W. Bush referred to volunteer organizations as "A thousand points of light". When Bill Clinton denied having an affair with Monica Lewinsky, he said, "I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky." George W. Bush described himself as a "compassionate conservative". After 9/11 we had a "War on Terror". In his 2002 State of the Union speech, he referred to Iran, Iraq and North Korea as "The Axis of Evil". Dick Morris called President Obama's high taxes and spending a "War on Prosperity". Will that term stick or will there be other phrases that will emerge?

Did President Obama choose Joe Biden for his gravitas in foreign policy like George W. Bush chose Dick Cheney for his gravitas or did Obama think Biden was the right person to spread hope and change after his presidency?

My wife and I want to sell Gymboree clothes on the Internet in Taiwan, so we would like to know how we can buy them for the lowest price. Would it be through Gymboree stores? On gymboree.com? eBay? Other websites?

France has the TGV (Train a Grand Vitesse), Japan has the "Bullet" train and Taiwan has the HSR (High Speed Rail). These countries are smaller than the US. You would think that the US, having so much more land than those countries, would alsohave high speed trains, but we don't. With gas prices so high and so many people fed up with airlines, high speed trains would seem like a good alternative.

Is it true Hillary Clinton will pose nude in "Playboy" in an effort to get the white male vote and overtake Barack Obama?

I am living in Taiwan and am looking to import inexpensive children's English book sets (probably around US $30 each or less) to Taiwan to sell at a store or online. Should I look for a distributor in the United States? If so, whom specifically should I buy from? Or would it be better if to find a manufacturer in mainland China? If so, which one?

There's the movie, "Loose Change" and many websites like 911truth.com
